    I haven't had a decent Italian in years and I'm fecking sick of seeing carbonara with CREAM!!!!! over cooked clams and tomato ketchup like sauces.
    Sounds like an excuse for another trip the the eternal city.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      Contracting away from home meant every night I was away. What d'yall do?
      I eat out in London at a decent restaurant usually once a week on a worknight. Almost invariably it's work related i.e. networking with friends\colleagues. I live in Hampshire so snooze on the late train home. At the weekend; on Friday we'll go out to a local Italian or we have a local restaurant with a Michelin star that knows us and we can usually get a late table. Saturday we'll either be out at a friend's or we'll have friends round for dinner. Sunday lunchtime we might walk to the pub for a pie and a pint. Sunday night we'll normally invite the Father-In-Law in for an Indian or Chinese takeaway.

      Seems like a lot but you're here for a good time, not a long time.

          No it isn't. Being in the same house every night knackered after work and kids is not time spent together. It's sad but true - couples can go weeks without a proper conversation.

          If you don't make a priority of your marriage, it's not going to last. Gibbon are you married?

            Yes it is.

            And yes 15 years, we have nights out together not 'Dates'.

              So it's the same bloody thing then, stop being pedantic. A 'date night' just means you pre-arrange to set aside a night and prioritise that above whatever comes up that day. If you do that already, I applaud you for it.

                For some reason she keeps on messaging me on Facebook. I have to pretend its my younger brother (using my computer) on there to see whether she might still be up for anything with someone..
