Thanks guys definately some food for thought.

Kowalski, looking at your post I think thats spot on, the bit I sturggled with was that because she was from Japan originally and only been in the UK a year, where I was talking about stuff I'd done alot of it she probably couldn't realate to because of it being Western Society. Maybe then I should rework some of my DHV stories for some generic conversation topics.

The most horrible bit about it was standing there and in my head going "f*** silence, must say something, anything" and then coming out with something crap and thinking oh dear thats the best I could do. I'll sit and go to the drawing board and rework some topics.

Cheers
Ambitious
