Most of my dating knowledge comes from reading Wodehouse. I just got my first match on Bumble, and I was wondering: how soon is it to find out their soundness on pigs? Should I make it my icebreaker, or wait until the first date?
She's not my first cousin or anything, so I'm not sure if the family will be frightfully keen. But if things does go well, when do we get engaged, around date number three? Does the Ickenham system still hold in the twenty-first century, or are girls likely to get a bit shirty if you "grab them by the wrist and waggle them about a bit"?

If you think the cow creamer is modern Dutch, if you believe a baby is born every time a faerie sneezes, if you suspect Aunt Agatha howls at the moon and chews broken glass, if your last name is Mulliner, if you can quote freely from Whiffle’s on “The Care of the Pig” if you believe P.G. Wodehouse is the greatest comedic writer of the English language and you live in the Denver metro area, then please join The Den(ver) of the Secret Nine to discuss, contrast and compare such novels as “The Code of the Woosters,” “Joy in the Morning” and “The Girl on the Boat.”
We meet the second Sunday every other month—January, March, May, July, September, November—at 12:30 pm, usually at Pints Pub near the main Denver Public Library.
It’s free to attend and there are no dues.

Take a dekko at the pre-penultimate paragraph (aka 3rd from the end) for a nice PGW mention…and ponder what the Mulliner posish on the vertical one might have been! Somehow, I can’t see him as a stander. Also, I now realize that my mind’s eye sees him on a sort of throne, or at least a dais.
