he quit!
my friend evie went on a first date on saturday night with a guy she really, really likes. she was very nervous, but it all went swimmingly well.

so well, in fact, that when they were walking romantically along waterloo bridge at the end of the night (most romantic views in london? arguably yes!), he tipped her chin up, put his mouth on hers, hands cupping her face and stroking her hair, and kissed her. she said it was magical, an amazing kiss, lights of london spread out before them, stars twinkling, his mouth warm and firm on hers, knees buckling...

then, as they finished kissing, he pulled slightly away and looked deep into her eyes.

and what did evie do in response? drawing in a ragged breath, heart pounding, she announced...






"eeeees niiiiiiice!"

in her best borat voice. why? why?? she has absolutely no idea. all she knows is that he folded her into the next orange-lighted taxi and hasn't texted or called her yet..............

Bundling her in a cab and ignoring her
is probably a tad harsh, were it me I'd have settled for laughing my arse off.

Nice one Evie.

That has to be the funniest thing I've heard in a long long time.
Reminds me of me although I usually end up insulting the object of my affection.

That response
would have rounded off what sounded like a perfect evening to me. What a git!

I thought it was going to be something horrible
like she did a little sicky burp in his face or something.

If he really was put off by what she said, she's probably better off without someone so humourless.

well
it's only tuesday. maybe he's just playing it cool!

on the other hand, he is a bean-counting accountant. i thought a sense of humour bypass was part of the training?!

Oh, he's an accountant
tell your friend to run, RUN FOR THE HILLS AND DON'T LOOK BACK!!!

Also tell her that the filing date for self assessment tax returns has been brought forward to 31 October, unless filed on-line...

Pffffft! I didn't see that coming at all!
That sounds like the sort of thing I would do.
( Bob Todd whee, Tue 27 May 2008, 12:28, closed)

To be honest
I think I would have done the same (the Borat exclamation, not the folding into a taxi bit).

Must be an accountant thing - my ex wife was an accountant (technically, she still is). When I announced that I was divorcing her she didn't find it at all funny...

Like the rest in here
I would have cracked up and been completely won over by her. What the guy's problem is, I have no idea.
