"The only problem facing the metrosexual in an otherwise carefree existence is the inescapable effects of ageing. If 30 is 45 in gay years, then 26 is retirement age for the metrosexual - and no amount of biotechnological, rehydrating, whale sperm dermo-care can alter that." - Jonathan Trew, The Scotsman
