Competition No 4151
They want a list of things you might want to think about before getting too friendly with someone. They give as examples that you don't want to be friends with somebody who knows his own star sign. (That seems a little harsh - I'm Sagittarius) or with someone who is 'passionate about' anything. They don't give a word length. I think they're going to cherry pick ideas at something like £2 a go. Anyway, there it is. Deadline is the same as the latest Speccie I think. To

Here's a rhyme to get you started.
Don’t Trust Him
Don’t trust him if he’s got a tiny arse.
Don’t trust him if he says he’s working class.
Don’t trust him if he tells you what he thinks.
Don’t trust him if he orders funny drinks.
Don’t trust him if he knows a lot of shits.
Don’t trust him if he stares at women’s tits.
Don’t trust him if he thinks he’s Bonaparte.
Don’t trust him if he likes conceptual art.
Don’t trust him if he’s left or if he’s right.
Don’t trust him if he wants to stay the night.
Don’t trust him if there’s
anything to trouble you.
Don’t trust him if he drives a BMW.
