Is it 2 fine looking lesbians next week or was that 2 separate dates in the preview? Asking for a friend...

Hunchback · 09-02-2017 11:29PM

That passport photo was shocking. Fair ridebag now though.

Eh hello?! He opened his first scene pining about his broken heart, then welled up with tears talking about his ex! I wasn't one bit surprised to read that they got back together

when that icelandic lad walked in with a pair of trousers like a juggler from fossets circus, I wasn't surprised he'd be a vegan naturist to be honest. she was lovely, he was just an arse and yeah I;d agree, i'll pay by card, oh leave your half on the table, thank you very much, bleedin miser!!

jasus that feminist was a cracker though to be fair, old mac donald was'nt doing bad for emself at all, and didn't **** it up, despite all the cringey high fives.

I thought yer wan the tall girl with the red hair was lovley, she was brutally honest and quirky, even a bit nervous, again though, the lad was a clown! talking about white stuff in some young wans mouth...DAFUQ!!!!

funny program to be fair...now to offset this with a few episodes of nationwide and the antiques roadshow!!! jeees yu cant bate a bish o cultueur lads!!

If you go to the "Stingiest thing I've ever seen" thread, there's a fair few of examples of people who pay by card as they can then pocket the tip. I wouldn't put it past him to have done that.

The Glencar waterfall guy seemed like a decent guy, just a bit nervous at times, a bit like David Brent on a date. His date seemed uptight and not one bit attractive to be honest, not sure why she was so up herself.

LLMMLL · 10-02-2017 02:14PM

So there was an uproar when the gay guy from a few episodes back let the other guy pay when he had no interest.

Now there's uproar when a guy who's not interested in a girl doesn't pay the full thing.

Do people on here not actually think through their opinions?

nope it's not that, unfortunately he had no cash so he had to take her half and put it in his pocket. Yes it's the same thing but looks very stingy. at least when both put half each in the bill and walk away, from an optics standpoint it seems fair and amicable. He brought a knife to a gunfight and looked the worst of it, not so much the act but more the execution. todays fish and chips paper though and all that!!!

Yeah wasn't in the least bit surprised either. I was actually delighted when it said that he got back with his ex, he clearly still loves him. I didn't see him and Gary as anything more than great friends.

If women want equality they can pay for their own meals.

Jesus, the look on your man's face when she said she liked meat!

I'd order the bloodiest f**king steak. Then maybe slap his face with it.

I know it's very in vogue to hate vegans right now, but I think he reacted like that more so because she said that she uses almond milk and vegan shower gel as if to say that she too is a vegan.. and then followed it up by saying she eats meat :pac: It reminded me a little of people who've told me that they're vegetarian and then follow it up by saying "but I still eat chicken".

You're vegan aren't you? :-)

Were those 2 statements made by the same people? If not, then they're just different opinions ?

I don't know how people manage to make it so awkward on the show though - I do be squirming

ligerdub · 11-02-2017 12:47PM

It's a fair comparison, it was the general consensus.

Me? No, definitely not. I just the whole 'awkward vegan' thing tiresome.

One thing I really like about the Irish first dates is the emphasis is more so on the actual dates themselves. I love the UK one but I'm so sick of Fred and his musings on love, as if we're supposed to be listening to him or something.

Sound Bite · 12-02-2017 10:50AM

Missed this week....when is the repeat show?
