Guys, NYE in Liverpool was great although I let myself down badly with trying to pick up! Got so drunk and saw this girl (a 9) so proceeded to try and get as many of my lines, jokes, games out as quick as possible. Bless her she stayed around and put up with it but the lads i was with told me the following day she was getting annoyed with my barrage of speaking and constantly asking to spin her around....lesson 1) dont drink as much 2) be more relazex and less persistent. Boy I let myself down!!

Is correct!!

NYE I was at a party in London, a friends house. HB9 there, never met her before, so got talking to her. Went pretty well, I wasn't using too much canned material, although I did run one routine on handshake techniques which she seemed to like (sounds lame, but trust me, teaching a girl how not to come across as submissive in a handshake can be fun!)

Then, it went so, so wrong... I got horrifically drunk. We all played a few drinking games, someone was passing round some rancid 4 year old tequila - made more rancid by the fact that this 4 year old tequila still had a dead worm floating in the bottom of it.

I drunkenly decided to run The Cube on her... Went well, until the room went very silent suddenly and people started to listen into what I was telling her.

The Cube probably works when you're sober, and come across as congruent and authoritative.

When you're drunk, and slurring 'So... uhm... Your ladder is, um, like your friends. And you said yours is metal. So that's rigid. Your friends are too rigid. Uh.... Yeah...' - that just sounds sleazy!

Lessons have been learned, but good to see I tried at least!
