I have always felt that the expression should be “You can’t eat your cake
and still have it.’ Which makes far more sense to me.

A friend in need ... can be a right pain.

If you help someone out when they're in trouble ... then next time
they're in trouble, they'll come back to you again, probably first.

Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day.
Teach him to use the internet and he won't bother you again for weeks.[1]

At last a proper use of the term ! As Eugene Miya once said, "all

response.
Although it's too late to change, the proper source of troll should be
recognised...
I feel a letter to Susie Dent coming on.
