Will you watch Ultimate Hell Week when it's back next week?

No..it's my idea of hellish TV..

Are you watching first dates?

Purple Mountain

I am!

Would you go on?

The Princess Bride

And have all of you laughing at me? Yeah right.

Ever had a blind date?

Purple Mountain

When I was very young, late teens, my cousin told me to come on a work night out she was going on with colleagues. She said there was a single guy going and she'd introduce us. Wasn't a date per se obviously.
Anyhow, in the pub after introducing us, he starting chatting to me about introducing me to his mum.
I said I was going to the toilet and legged it out the back door of the pub and rang for a lift home. So that was my only experience of 'blind'.

Tellus your worse date experience?

The Princess Bride

I remember one man whose phone easily rang half a dozen times during the date AND he answered each time.
After the last one, he looked at me, "there won't be another date, will there?"
You think? Duh.

Most embarrassing thing you ever did on a date?

Widdershins

Nothing really...I'm embarassed I didn't pull the person up on his deplorable attitudes. I suppose when I drank more than I should have while waiting ages for the sort-of date and then throwing up two hours later.
