I had date number 3 with Garda Nick at the weekend, everything seems to be going ok (now that he’s wearing closed toe shoes). On one of my numerous trips back from the loo to check my make-up and text update friends I got stopped by a bloke. ( it’s like they know you’re not single any more )
“Wow, you’re the image of that actress” - random bloke.
“Me, really?” - I smiled knowingly, while trying to look curious.
“The one with the big hair” - random bloke getting increasing animated.
“It’s probably only the hair we have in common” - me.
“No you’ve the same face and everything, I just can’t think of her name, she’s married to another actor” - random bloke.
“Do you mean Nicole Kidman?” - me, trying hard not to grin ear to ear.
“No, the one that’s in Sex and the City – Sarah Parker or something like that” - random bloke.
He thought I looked like Sarah Jessica Parker! Old horse face herself, winner of the most unattractive woman in the world award from GQ magazine!
I gave him the glare of death and stomped back to my seat filled with rage and descending depression. My mood was not improved when Garda Nick looked up, saw me coming and said:
“Why the long face?”
Some nights you should just stay in.
Assuming you are very drunk, in a dark room and squinting - a lot. Email me on Irishflirtysomething at hotmail.com

OH NO! Sad comments aside I’m glad you got past the toe thing… I have high hopes for Garda Nick!

that made me laugh - why the long face? - you couldnt have made that up…or could you?!

Well, this bloke here thinks SJP is gorgeous and GQ can go take a running jump. No need for a long face at all, Flirty. Except over unwanted guys with badly fumbled chat-up lines.

Ellen, haven’t got that far yet
Conan - ?
Primal - lol
Deb - jury still out,
belle - I wish!
Nick - you maybe in the minority

Don’t take any notice of GQ’s lists, they are mostly compiled by a spotty intern called Mel.
Have you investigated as to whether Garda O’Ride is actually comparable to a horsie ???? We want details (insert appropriate “size of truncheon” joke here)

Coincidentally a girl I went to school with and haven’t seen in fourteen years left me a message on facebook this morning saying I looked like SJP… some days you just shouldn’t social network either. Except maybe for to change your profile picture.
Great that things are going so well with Garda Nick though. I like him already.

You really have to question the class of the GQ editors who thought it was OK to publish a list of the world’s most unattractive woman or man, anyway. You just know they’re all spotty wee Herberts or great lardy beachballs of fellas themselves.
“Why the long face?” Ha! Good one, though!

Tsk. My Hubby thinks the same, but what does he know? I happen to think she’s rather beautiful. And anyway, if someone cares enough to stop you to say ‘wow’, they obviously think you’re beautiful.

I think she oozes sex appeal and out of all of the girls,the one I’d most like to be compared to! Did you see her in the movie wearing all those wedding dresses? She looked stunning..love the way Nick wrapped up the situation though!
