    I had a friend once who was having a bunch of friends round for a dinner. It was his first time at having a grown-up dinner party even though he was about 27 at the time.

    Afterwards I asked him how it went. He said "Yeah it went really well, everyone was there and I met so-and-so's new boyfriend who's a really cool black bloke... which was cool"

    I just... I... eh? what? fucking hell.
