Talking to a homeless person is one of the trickiest things to do. Think about every phatic conversation you have with friends or acquaintances. You ask them things like “How was your day?”, “What are your plans for New Year’s Eve?” or “Did you see that programme on telly last night?”.

Life is too short.
Sad is the person that denies themselves full fat mayonnaise.
Just say no to reduced fat mayo. It tastes like shit.
