 So I was going speed dating tonight
	So I was going speed dating tonightsame company that cancelled the last two over 40 events. Got an email asking me if I wanted to come to an event tonight at the same place as mine and when I checked on their website I discovered that the event I was booked on had become a 28-38 age range event sometime since I booked it. The absolute fuckers.
When was the last time some company let you down?
