If you'd fallen out with someone, rather badly, after doing something very, very stupid, how would you try to attempt to retrieve the situation some many months later?

Would you:

1) Send a tentative text, or email?

2) Make an actual phone call, perhaps beginning with the words: "Look, I know it's been ages, but...?"

3) Put a note through the letter box?

4) Just not bother. Sometimes, there are wrongs that can't be put right, and you have to take the blame.

5) Turn up at someone's shared house while the person they want to see is still out at work - working late, in fact, so probably just wants to put his feet up when he gets back - embarrass a housemate into allowing them to stay, smoke their cigarettes, drink their wine, then go out to replenish the devoured nicotine and booze and return with a bottle, a packet of fags, and a five course Chinese takeaway that you proceed to eat in front of your utterly bemused host?

Thank fuck the dog bit him.

Unbelieveable.
