    Dunno which I'm more nervous about...

    ...I'm off on a date with a very pretty girl this evening and I've got to give a short presentation to half of our directorate tomorrow morning.

    Talk about bricking it!

    How's he going to know what their underwear looks like? Even if he does get that far with her?

    That's easy, the presentation is probably more never-wracking, don't appear nervous in either though, thats the easy way to deal with it.

    I was out with a nice lass a few weeks ago, it didn't go *brilliantly* but if there are awkward silences...break them with "sooo, akward silence..." - seemed to work for me!

    I've tried that before actually, for some reason it does work!

    Less so during presentations mind you...

    You mucky onion.

    The date might make you nervous, as might the presentation, but not as much as... THAT LION WHO IS PROBABLY A MAN EATING LION AND PROBABLY WANTS TO EAT YOU THUS LIVING UP TO ITS NAME!

    See? There's no lion. You were worrying about nothing.

    Re: Dunno which I'm more nervous about...

    Ref the interview technique: if he gets the two worries confused, and thinks about them in their underwear while he's out with his girl, he's gonna fail to please her tonight, and worse...he's gonna poke someone in the eye in the interview with no hands...

    I think it's bad advice.

    Whatever you do do not think about them in her underwear.
