real proof that I'm 33 going on 74 is that I was having drinks with a friend and she suggested dinner and I apologised but said I had a piece of fish that needed eating today, and she asked me for picture evidence as apparently that's also what I said the last couple of times we had drinks

OMG, my wife and I recently used that excuse to skip date night..We both wanted to just cuddle and watch some noir. We did have a stunning salmon that she graciously cooked and great veggies. It was a good night. I know, Cool Story Bro

If you'd had two pieces of fish that needed eating you could have asked her to join you!

I am in a very posh restaurant in Stockholm (yes, alone, but it’s because I’m on a running weekend so not as tragic as it seems) and I couldn’t help guffawing to the consternation of the other serious diners. No honestly not as tragic as it seems.

The question is whether you had originally planned to eat that salmon or whether you improvised to sell your excuse 🤔
