Anyone else watching this programme? I love it and not just because my lovely friend is on it every week.


Cannot believe the behaviour of some people on their first date.. tonight a guy was constantly checking his phone and talking about going back to work after their lunch date. Then he insisted she answer first when they were asked if they wanted to see one other again. Despite his behaviour, she said 'yes def' and then he said 'no'. What an arse!


Someone the previous week used a calculator to work out the bill, after he'd ordered jaeger bombs but didn't fancy paying for them!

By the second time that guy checked his phone, I would have got up and walked out. On a date, phone goes out of site. Nothing says, "I have better things to be doing" than being on the phone for any reason whatsoever while in someone else's company. Total twat!


She is also a really poor judge of character not to have sussed which way he was going to decide. He clearly wants a Friend With Benefits, not a date to commit to.

ha *Bob* yes I see what you mean, lets hope they don't go down that road.


Jimi - yes she shouldn't have put up with that, it was so rude of him. She seemed really lovely.


quids - some of the people on the dates were talking about tinder so guess you can do both.

Social media must make it awful and I don't just mean the dating/sex app thing but profiles on Facebook et al. means people know loads about people before knowing them. I presume Facebook et al are a problem for the playaaaas too?

I love First Dates, the staff are the icing on the cake as I love watching. The interest they have in the couples & their little asides.

The dates leave me with either a feeling warm glow of what early dates with Mr Buggie

felt like, or really, really glad that I'm well out of the dating game!

I love the staff too buggie, like hearing what they have to say about the couples. Fred Siriex is just great!


Agree I feel a warm glow when the dates go well, it is heart-warming to see but a tiny bit of me enjoys the sheer horror when they don't and it makes uncomfortable viewing.


not usually a fan of "celebrity" versions as I don't know any of them usually, watched it on Monday and was glad anthea turner gave the brush off to that ghastly city bore superglued to his mobile.

Definitely more Nunhead than Peckham - I've been to his house before for a party.

I'm not sure where the boundary of Nunhead lies (and I hasten to add I've certainly never seen "first dates"), but Nunhead green is a pretty easy walk from PR station - along Philip Walk or Scylla Rd - and Peckham Rye is approximately 5 times more useful than Nunhead station!

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      By theweekend · Posted

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
