    Fell asleep on the couch watching tv, phone was on silent. Tough day at work, just passed out.

    You were broke?
    Your dog ate your wallet?
    You're a registered sex offender and aren't allowed out that late as part of your parole?

    What was the TV prog anyway? Was feck all on TV tonight?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    But if the plans were to meet a woman then you run in to problems with an answer like that.

    No means yes, but then you say yes and it means you don't want to go out. The it all comes back to the day you said her arse looked big in those pants. Then it comes to an end when you admit you fancy her mother.

    Do you see where this is going? I

    Just lie OP...

    Tell them that as you left to go and enjoy their stellar company, 186 ninjas leapt out of a flying saucer, and started a rumble the likes of which the world has never seen, because you were so desperate to meet them, you summoned all your strength and hit them all with your most powerful punch. This sundered all the ninjas and removed all trace of them, but it also shredded the fabric of time, so you had to stitch it back together using angel hair and a cosmic needle, unfortunately, it took you until next Thursday to do this, so you couldn't meet them.

    Simple and believable.

    The dog DID eat my wallet. Luckily my dad found all my stuff -cards etc. (except the cash) in a field. Along with the remains of said wallet. Damn stupid dog.

    OP, if you don't want to go, something has come up. You not wanting to go is the something, but that's neither here nor there. If you're asked for details, you "can't go into it at the moment". Sound stressed. I'm sure it'll work. In fact, I might just try it myself!

    If you didn't answer your phone, just say you fell asleep on the couch and had left your phone charging elsewhere. Simple as.

    The clocks go back this weekend, don't they ?

    I was kidnapped by supermodels, again. I know it keeps happening and I've told them that this time I'd report them to the Guards, but they called my bluff. And when I wend down to the station to report them the Guards wouldn't listen to me. Which proves that it was a conspiracy. One law for us and another for the rich and powerful :mad:

    Same here... is that a good or bad thing :confused:

    Tell them you've been pondering the meaning of life and reading a few bible passages, and that you're going to bring along the aul black book to discuss it with them... they will ask you to stay at home... guilt off your shoulders... done and dusted, you can stare at the one eyed monster some more :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Dooom


    Something involving ninjas. Or tell them you had just finished your Time Machine, but upon testing it, you were accidently transported to tomorrow. But tomorrow in a different dimension, so uh...screw it. Say you were tired.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill
