    Now, I am the only girl, I have 5 brothers so I really struggle to understand useful and brother in the same sentence. My oldest brother always found a way to make a use for me though. One day he was really broke and he wanted to go to football, so he sold raffle tickets to his mates, £1 a pop, the prize... a date with me!


    LOL! I've got four brothers - all of whom have threatened new boyfriends if they don't treat their sister right. None of my boyfriends did and what did my brothers do? Nothing!!! They did come in useful for getting rid of unwanted male attention by putting their arm round me and pretending to be a big burly boyfriend, though :D - back in the day when male attention was unwanted :p

    You should have taken half...

    I only found out last year!

    I remember the date though all too well, my brother told me that one of his friends had a secret crush from afar, he was tall, good looking and really nice. So, like a fool I agreed to go, the guys 'name' was smiley. I thought it was because he had a lovely smile... no, it was because he rarely smiled because the stench from his abscess ridden mouth could knock out a horse from 100 yards.

    Sounds lovely!! :rotfl: I presume it was one date only???

    My pal once set me up with a blind date that she said looked like the guy from the Gillette advert. I think she got confused with the guy from the "before" part of a Clearasil ad :rotfl:

    I feel your brother will wake up one day with a drum stick protruding from where the sun does not shine...
