I'd like to meet:
Interesting people with style, panache, vim, vigour, pep and beans. Also any fellow vegans out there.
Would also like to meet anyone prepared to sit for upcoming www.popemagnet.com
shoots.
I do not want to meet:
- people for whom grammar remains an undiscovered country, who can only communicate in text speak, and who do that irritating thing with parentheses at the end of every single sentence;
- morons; or
- people who think that i will like their metal band. I won't.
And finally, a message from our sponsors. Actually, it's an attempt at balancing out the blanket advertising that covers our pages with crap we neither want or need.
So go on, give it a squeeze.
