Now, whether you missed out on a one night stand or a potential future Mrs. Patrick would come down to the morals of the young lady in question. If you want my tupp'ence worth (and some sexism AND generalising about an entire nation), the Irish girls I've known have been fantastic.... Sorry.

If you don't mind I have another connotation question. A few years ago an Irish woman said she "fancied" me. I took that to mean she wanted to date me. AS I had another girlfriend at the time and didn’t need a second one, I nodded politely and brushed it off. Later someone told me that "fancy" in that context (at a bar) meant that she thought I was sexy and was interested in a more carnal way. Which, I think I would have been OK with. I haven't had a chance to ask a disinterested Native Londoner their opinion. What is your take? Did I miss a one night stand or did she want a long term thing? Jon Who,

On topic of blog post, yeah we have far too many newspapers.

I wouldn't use the term "Blitz" in London. I think they are still sensitive about it. If any Londoners want to say I am wrong, please do! And then I have a follow-up question.
