And They Say Chat Up Lines Don't Work...

Where did I put my medication?

I was out drinking in Ealing one Friday after work with a mate of mine when he explained that his girlfriend was heading down to see him.

I was having a good time and wasn't too happy about being given the choice of either being the third wheel or heading off home early. However, my concerns were premature as this fine fellow had asked his lady to bring along a friend, huzzah!

Cometh the ladies, cometh the conversational opener. My mates girlfriend made an immediate b line for him, leaving her friend and I to make our own introductions.

I was being set up with an attractive young Asian girl and having been isolated from the group the pressure was on to deliver.

Opening dialogue unfolded as follows:

'Hi I'm Alex'
'Hi I'm Farrah'
'Hey Farrah, how's your Sister Nearer?'

Despite being early in the night I was never to recover from this Dating haymaker to her sensitivities and it was to be a very long night.
