-have to have every new gadget on the market, just because your neighour has it.
-actually love eating sheep's head and particularly like the eyes.
-wonder about what Danish company to buy next.
-spend a month's salary on fireworks to shoot up at New Year's Eve, but then can't because it's too windy.
