UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Blind Date Sparks Friendship in London. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 18, 226-year-old stage manager Rebecca and 28-year-old stand-up comedian Sophie went on a blind date at Colonel Sov in London, both hoped for easy chats and good food and it delivered big time with laughs and solid vibes right from the jump. Sophie called Rebecca gracefully frazzled but purposeful, super smiley and easy to talk to. Rebecca saw Sophie as confident and at ease. They cracked up so hard the guy at the next table had the system and there was this funny bit with Sophie going to Shakespearean overdrive lavender. Plus a yogurt spill she handled with a spoon. Both praised each other's table manners even through the mishaps. Sophie found Rebecca amusing, self assured and familiar while Rebecca dubbed Sophie funny, well read and creative. They bonded over stories, though Sophie admitted she got distractible mid-tail. No kissing or after party since Rebecca had work. Just a friendly hug, goodbye. Sophie rated it a perfect 10 for company and new London connections where Becca gave it a strong 8. They'd both introduce the other to friends.
Sounds like a win for botanic sparks. Sophie wants more friend hangs in the city. Rebecca might catch a comedy show. Blind dates like this keep delivering those unexpected connections.
