PS2 friend or foe?

Another lazy Sunday yesterday. Spent some time shopping in the West End and then spent the evening at my boyfriend's (Gas Man) house. Gas Man spent most of the night neglecting me and playing a new Yakuza game that he'd recently downloaded for his PS2. Usually, it really pisses me off when he plays on his PS2 because I hate being ignored. But I've recently discovered that this can be a good thing.

Before:

WWNS: Hunny, can I sell this on Ebay?
Gas Man: NO!
WWNS: Why not?
Gas Man: Because I need it.
WWNS: No you don't. You never use it. Oh go on, let me sell it on Ebay?
Gas Man: NOOOOOO

Now:

WWNS: Hunny, can I sell this on Ebay?
Gas Man: *distracted by PS2* Huh? What?
WWNS: Can I sell this on Ebay? You never use it....
Gas Man: *still distracted by PS2* glances briefly at whatever I'm holding in my hand.... yeah ok babes

Result!
