The extreme is justified in moderation. I've absolutely nothing against people - some of them are quite lovable. But sometimes it is nice to listen to Groove Salad, go herbalissimo and finger the PG Tips pyramid bag jar regularly, on my own.

Virtual companionship is fine: no bacon sandwiches have to be prepared, my bathroom is not full of strange emollients and I am not forced to listen to endless episodes of 'Friends'.

You can't be me, I'm taken
