Well thanks to some very clever suggestions from commenter’s on the last post I decided to ring Garda Nick and thank him for his advice. Got into a bit of banter about living on my own, did he know anyone looking for a room ( thanks caro ) and after some industrial sized hints he finally asked me out for a drink (for someone in special branch he’s not great at picking up on clues!) Tomorrow night is date night. Can’t remember the last time I was so nervous and excited about a date.
PS – I won’t be wearing this t-shirt, although it is tempting.
Assuming you are very drunk, in a dark room and squinting - a lot. Email me on Irishflirtysomething at hotmail.com

Best of luck with it!
Remember keep elbows off table, minimum talking about ex’s, touching of the hair (yours that is) is a good thing, picking food from teeth is a no no and if all fails make a complaint to the garda ombudsman, and no need to bring your handcuffs, perk of his job i suppose : )

I won’t make the obvious comment about the size of his truncheon - oh, I just have. Make sure you cut short all the paperwork and tell him you need to be searched very thoroughly for illegal substances.

You can tell him my 5 year-old’s favourite joke. ‘What did the Garda say to his tummy?’ ‘You’re under a vest’.

Ooooh that’s exciting ! Just remember that the real handcuffs can be fun but they will leave marks…………..
Now repeat after me

Just caught Mary Coughlan on TV. She went out with a garda and two years later they got married….

Hurray! Looking forward to hearing all the details!
And damn you to everyone who got in there with the handcuff jokes first.
