On the subject of blind dating.....
..one particular member of teh boards used to be a member of me pool team, and one of the other guys on the team used to turn up with his girlfriend. The girlfriend is the subject of the lying in this case, but in a funny way.

You see Lancey (ohh, had to say his board name :p) got talking to the girlfriend and she decided to set him up on a blind date with a "visually stunning bird" aquaintance, whom we had never met. Lancey agrees to this, and organises to meet up after exchanging multiple text messages. He organises the time, and emails me saying he's rather nervous and excited about the whole blind date.

Oh dear. The date was at 8pm, and I was in work until 9 (the hours suck). I get an email from his house at 8.30pm, a full half hour after the time the date was meant to start.

"Jeccy, turned up and met her so I get a text saying she's by the bar, but all I could see by the bar was someone who looked like Olive from On The Buses."

Ohhh, visually appealing then, well if you like 60's comedy re-runs :D

"She saw me and started talking, and at 10 past I told her my stomach was really bad, and said I had to go home."

He left her by the bar and legged it home. Bad bastard, I bet it made her feel 10 feet tall doing that Lancey, you bad shit.
