Annoying People you have to meet occasionally and usually
talk about brand-awareness, their disappointment about being white,
metrosexuals, moisturiser, feminine sides, "that Bjork, she's a
challenge," "I think you'll find that's junction 4," "we're not
getting married but giving our time to a mission in the east end,"
and clone their children to match their 'living space.'
