THIS WEEK we set up second year English Literature student Anthony Rickman with our Life&Style Editor Izzi Graham. Did this date at the romantic setting of ASK Italian spark a love which will keep these two warm all winter? Or was their evening together as limp as overcooked spaghetti?
ANTHONY ON IZZI
Are you looking for anything serious?
No, not at all!
What was the first thing you noticed?
I thought for a second that she was someone I knew already, and so I was worried I would have compromised the integrity of the ‘blind’ aspect of the date. But it turned out that I didn’t already know her. So, er, yeah it was fine.
What did you talk about?
A lot about our courses… we talked a lot about alcohol too.
What did you have to eat?
Nice pizza, very cold profiteroles.
Most desirable characteristic or
feature?
Her smile.
How did the date end?
We walked back from town, and then ended with a “see you around”.

I had a chicken Caesar salad, it was great!
Most desirable characteristic or
