Parking woes...
I'm sure we've all done it - parked up in a multi-storey car park, and wandered off, safe in the knowledge you've memorised what floor and the location of the car etc.

T'was September 19th last year (that's 'Talk Like A Pirate Day'), and I had a date with the lovely Wendy. And so, off I drove to Cambridge to meet her, parked up, met up and a great evening was being had.

At one point, Wendy went off to check out the facilities and I sat there wondering why everyone was dressed as pirates - then it dawned on me :)

And so, if you really want to make an impression on a date, I suggest the following:

1) When your date returns from the loo, talking like a pirate without first explaining why causes some confusion...
2) At the end of the date, failing to find your car in a car park (even if it is a big green Galaxy nicknamed 'Shrek'), spending 10 minutes going up and down levels then finding it parked not 10 feet from your date's car doesn't put you in a good light...

I lost the bloody thing in long stay parking at Stansted one time too - how can anyone lose something that big and ugly? Twice.

I lost one of mine in a car park for the best part of half an hour.
naturally I was in the wrong park. The blasted thing was on the other side of a narrow street between the parks. It was dark when I got there and even darker when I left, if that's any excuse.
