	Um, good so far, we just got here, but it's a wine bar, so that's a good start. I don't know that I've ever been to one actually. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's just a bar, at the end of the day. What do you prefer: red, white or rosé? Or are you going off piste and choosing something different? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-22 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	Red usually, though I'm fully guilty of getting rose tipsy with the girls sometimes in the summer. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-22 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	Red, though there are summer nights when a crisp, chilled white is more appealing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-22 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Nope. A cold beer by a fire pit on a cold night in the fall is way better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-22 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	So rosé in the summer, a cold beer in autumn... what about winter? What would you order if we I we were having a drink tonight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-22 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	lol, have you ever had a hot toddy? somehow I doubt it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-22 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	I know what it is, but I can't say it's my usual sort of drink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dad would prefer me to drink scotch, but I'm what they call a "Whiskey Girl". What about you? Winter drink? And Spring, too, to be thorough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-23 12:02 am UTC (link)
	As an Irishman, I do enjoy whiskey. On a night like tonight I'd probably be drinking red wine. Spring might be something lighter, maybe fruitier but my mind seems to have gone blank. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're Scottish. Go figure. I didn't think that happened to you. Your mind blanking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-23 12:36 am UTC (link)
	My mother grew up in Scotland, so I can't hold that against you. Only around certain people, it seems. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-23 12:38 am UTC (link)
	Certain people? Did you ask your mystery lady out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-23 12:52 am UTC (link)
	No. She's actually on a date with someone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-23 01:04 am UTC (link)
	Huh. She must be crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-23 01:08 am UTC (link)
	She's not. I'm not good at telegraphing my interest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-23 01:11 am UTC (link)
	I thought you said you were going to say something to her?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-23 01:16 am UTC (link)
	I will. But she should probably give this other guy a shot first. I'm not going anywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-23 01:17 am UTC (link)
	I am rolling my eyes at you. Hope Gareth doesn't notice. Haven't you ever heard of going for what you want?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-23 01:31 am UTC (link)
	If he hasn't already noticed you texting me is he really worth your time? I will when I'm ready. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-23 01:34 am UTC (link)
	He noticed. I let him know it was my boss and the conversation has been easy enough, he's not bothered. He seems pretty easy going, tbh. Well, I hope she's worth it. Seems like if she really was what you wanted, you wouldn't want to risk her slipping through your fingers. Just my 2 sickles, tho. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-23 01:42 am UTC (link)
	I'll take your advice on board. You should put the phone away, enjoy your wine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebirdie 2022-01-23 01:45 am UTC (link)
	~~I. Um. Okay.~~ Oh, yeah, sure. I can still text you for an out, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	niallquigley 2022-01-23 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Of course. My phone will be beside me all evening. (Reply to this) (Parent)
