    A moral dilemma

    Its the early morning and you're sitting at the bar in the pub having had a few drinks with friends. They've left and you're talking to a woman (or man, but this is more likely to happen to women than men) who you know, possibly not that well though. Shes attractive and intelligent and the conversation is flowing well. At one point she says that she finds you very attractive and sexy and would like to get to know you better, possibly a kiss or two and then the invite back to hers for coffee and to continue talking. You know that this will lead to the 'possible' inevitable. Now this has happened quite a few times in the past few years but you have a partner for many years standing at home who is waiting.

    What do you do?
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        First thing I'd do would be to rule out asking for advice in THIS place!!!

          gosh. All these moral dilemmas that arise when you're attractive. At times like these I'm quite grateful to have a face like an unpopular pork offcut.

            Waiting for what? If it's waiting to bash you with a frying pan for getting home so late....

                In answer to the OP, only a pr*ck would do the "possible inevitable"

                  What particular pork offcut?

                  Do you have a face like:
                  A trotter?
                  A curly tail?
                  Or scratchings?

                    I'm confused now (and your avatar doesn't help). Are "you" (is "one") in this scenario a man or woman?
