    Just wondering like, did he agree to be standing at the bar wearing cowboy boots and an elvis leather jacket? You're the one wearing spangly tights and a beehive hairdo? If so, I'm calling it off, I don't want another one of my "date" nights all over the web thanks.

    cheers shellsuit - have let my friend and housemate know. Luckily with it being a local pub there’s a very big chance that there will be a couple of people in there that I know anyway!

    Have a fab time! First dates are so much fun and if it all goes well then yay! If it all goes terribly wrong, then you have something to talk about on here :p
