Entroposcope

<HTML>I feel I need advice here. Is it reasonable to bring an entroposcope on a first date?</HTML>

<HTML>What you need is one of those very ones disguised as a tube of lipstick. Don't bring it out to show him though, he might get it confused with something else, which will only make him feel insecure.

Boys are strange beings, and get confused easily...</HTML>

<HTML>Surely one should <b>never</b> leave home without it.

You never know when it might come in handy. Like the last time
I played scrabble with my sister and she pull out the letters
C-A-S-T-E-L-S (I think even I could make a seven letter word from
those.) She filled in a <a HREF="http://www.specops.org.uk/wierd.php">
Spec Ops WeirdShit</a> report form and an official investigation is
underway.</HTML>

<HTML>No, I think that's just you. I filled one in on you last time you made a banoffee pie as being nice to your tenants classified nicely as weirdshit.

only kiddin'. When are you making another one?</HTML>

<HTML>Rob can eat pretty much constantly. I've seen him devour a wokful of stirfry in one sitting, including (and correct me if I'm wrong) a pint of rice.

That's a pint before it was cooked.

And he's still skinny as a rake. I think I need to fill another form in...</HTML>

<HTML>Yes, an entroposcope on a first date is a damn good idea, especially for any young lady being escorted by one of the male gender. Every time he says "That's amazing, I love that/them/there too", whack it out and give it a shake. If nothing happens, he's lying.</HTML>

<HTML>Of course, if he whacks it out and gives it a shake, then that is a whole different problem.</HTML>

<HTML>But I suppose you'll know a bit more about him and be able to make an informed decision...</HTML>

<HTML>I have done a pint of rice. It was a special occasion (I'd cycled half the
length of the country.)

It's my naive understanding of medicine. In order to keep my metabolism
high I have to give it a workout by feeding it lots. It seems to do the trick.</HTML>

<HTML>Thanks, everyone... the entroposcope shall be brought. Along with Wilfred the penguin and the mysterious Liverpool FC football. If all that doesn't scare the socks off him, we're made for each other! ;-)</HTML>
