AVB,
As for jury duty I worked out some years ago how to avoid it. First time I fronted up and put on such a performance that they sent me home. Big win I thought but 12 months later I got called up again, so I just threw the papers in the bin. Problem is if you reply, they know they have hooked you and then they can threaten you with all sorts of punishment if you don't attend. Never heard from them again and it must be 10 years ago now
