It's an Italian restaurant. . . . . .
I drink like a fish and EAT like Andre The Giant. . . .
Are u sure your part-time job last year is good enough to satisfy me appetite.
I don't want u to come to Nairaland with a top that screams: HELP. . . . He got me BROKE!! cheesy grin
Roflmao! I should hope so, otherwise there are always the classic options of washing dishes or just running out of the restaurant when the waiters/waitresses turn their heads cheesy

Don't get me arrested. . . . .There are over 13 CCTVs in and out the restaurant. . . . .
In 48 hours, cops would be knocking me door(not yours). . . .afterall, i am the BLOKE. . They expect me to foot the bill.
The safest option is taking 1 grand in cash with u.

P.S. Washing dishes aint a classic option. . . . .the wages of a kitchen staff is 5 pounds/hour. U will have to put in 200 hrs to offset the bill. tongue

5 pounds/hour? Even at such a posh restaurant? Jeez, I could almost swear that employees serving at Mcdonalds make even more more than that cheesy

Jobs like that don't attract good pay.
So think hard before u make such moves. . . . . .Don't do a runner @ West End.
The cops in that area are brutes. grin

Nandos is a shitty place. . . .
I can't stand all em pant-sagging, hat-wearing, headfones- blaring geezers that hang around Nandos.

Besides, i hate their food. . . grin cheesy

I agree sha, nothing special, though I don't hate it, to be honest, I have only been to Nandos's once tongue
The way people go on about their food, especially their chicken, you would think it was God's gift to earth, seriously
Just something within a young teenage girl's budget embarassed grin

Teenage girl's budget?? We might have to go to Lagos.
Mallam Adamu's suya spot should be easily affordable. . . . . .How quickly can u secure a Naija visa??

Nandos is not all that. . . . . .Nigerians love it though because of their sweet roasted corn.
Apart from that corn, their other stuffs are below standard.

I will surely care for my man and be there to fulfill his every need. As for money, oka i was raised in any area of southern gentlemen and they always paid. I have no problem you know taking up the bill. In fact there will be days instead you taking me out, i will take you out and pay.

there are some times when a man is low on cash and such days, the best u cld do for such man like u said is to be there for him, like be4 u leave the house, give him the money for the date, not that you will get there, and say " you fool, here take money and pay for it"
western world style is you pay urs and i pay mine, it is african culture that will pay for the lady.

in western culture, that whole you pay for yourself thing, is when you are still in the friend mode. But once you start dating, he should pay. But if he doesn't have money, why are you taking me out in the first place? And if i have to pay, i will take up the bill, not give you the money before we live. But yeah i don't mind taking up the bill everynow and then. I mean i get be getting all the taking, and him doing the giving. im not self fish.

In western world, till u marry, my sister, it is u pay ur and i pay mine.
Even after theya re married, it is all cos they most of the time have join account.

Well for me in the states, i don't pay for myself most of the time. Oka on the first date, it is all about first impressions. So yeah the man should pay on the first date. But afterwards, the woman should pay sometimes you know. it is only right. But then again i know some scandalous ladies that will purposely order the most expensive thing just so she can test how much he got in his pocket.

@onyinye God help such woman that she's got money with her because i'll take the exit door, then we'll see who's smarter tongue

I think what you mean to say is that you find it "attractive" when a man foots the bill on a first date, it leaves a lasting inmpression on you.  All these shouts of "he should pay" is rather your alter ego messing with your agbari.  You don't want to be a submissive wife, you make your own money, yet you go out with your man boyfriend and still expect him to pay.  I no be mugu o, you go wash dishes well well.

cldnt have said it better, yu will know an hungry lady by what she order at a restaurant, you will know that a lady that has never seen good food by what she order at the restaurant, and ladies as such shd be made to suffer such.
Anyhow, nothing wrong in a man paying, but if she cant afford it, i will stay home and we will soak gari, u odnt like it? go to the next guy.
