The 'good date ideas' thread

Fine, clay pigeon shooting then.

Walk along the embankment in the late afternoon sun, a couple of hours overlooking Trafalgar Sq. on the Hilton Hotels roof bar. Some gobsmackingly good drinks (and food) there)
Top it all off with a shit load of dancing in Guanabara :)

Rape Picnic

Hahahahahaha

"You know, you look just like my first wife"
"I didn't know you'd been married"
"Sorry, did i say you look just like my wife? I meant
I've got a knife. Get in the van."

duck shooting?? wtf?

euph

do something central spontaneous then 'accidently' end up walking over Waterloo bridge on a lovely night, twinkly as fuck ;)

This worked for me.

True Fact.

Fuck yeah, this would be an epic date. Can I come..?

I've had sex in the V&A - FACT

Vagina and Arse?

(Apologies)

she means in trocadero

Pick her up on a bicycle, it's that simple (that if you got a rear rack).

Ed, I've told you already; rack up front bumpers at the rear. Otherwise drop her off@the circus.

Hipster watching at Brick Lane on a sunday is particularly fun

Narcissistic

Ha!

oh, friday night zoo lates are also good.... (unless its pissing down in which case you may end up sat in a kiddies teepee having your picnic before seeking refuge in a pub).

Singles night.

christ, an expensive date!
lunch at the CS hotel is one thing but hiring the screening room for a private screening has to run at about £500 no?
a date for someone really worth pursuing i guess.

just to balance the cynicism and apparent stingyness expressed here: i did once splash out on a charter flight from shoreham to le touguet for a lunch date. drove down in the morning, flew, ate, flew again then drove back to london. unfortunately that relationship didnt really go anywhere but we did have a great day out. funnily enough though, spontaneous and cheap dates seem to be more fun. go figure.

Last "flight" of the night on the London Eye...not the cheapest of options but beautful views across the city and by the end of the day most of the tourists have gone home and you might get a capsule to yourself. A remarkable amount of London residents have never been on the Eye and I think it's ace!

Sorry, but fuck the London eye. Expensive and boring. For views over the city go to the Monument. It's got history, and you climb the height without seeing the view, so when you get to the top, it's a massive reveal. Much better IMHO. And you can stay up there as long as you want, not being trapped like the eye.

ha well you could hire out the screening room or just go when they have open to public things, they do it a few times a month Sunday lunch and afternoon film.

Rape Picnic

Here?

Radio 4 comedy recordings. Best cheap date ever. Also puts you around plenty of nice Bloomsbury places.

Apart from Just a Minute. That's just a little Freudian.

"You know, you look just like my first wife"
"I didn't know you'd been married"
"Sorry, did i say you look just like my wife? I meant
I've got a knife. Get in the van."

Reminds me of

"Get yer coat love, I've got a knife"

My ex has just asked me for a lunch date at Carluccio's 'unless I can think of anywhere more exciting'

he/she sounds positively dull. Choose somewhere more exciting/expensive. Make sure they pay.

they are most definitely paying. Its a while since I've been out lunchtime dining... Can anyone recommend something 'exciting'?
