Where to meet cute British men. Tomorrow.

This post is a public service announcement for all of my single readers who would like to meet cute British men. Tomorrow. (okay, so they may not ALL be cute, or single, but odds are some will be...and they'll definitely have that cute British accent!)

Grab a friend and have lunch at your local British or Irish pub tomorrow at 12:30 EST for the Six Nations Rugby Tournament! What is the Six Nations Rugby Tournament you might ask? Well, it's like the World Series or Superbowl for Rugby (I think). The Six competing Nations are: Wales, England, Ireland, Scotland, France and Italy. Yes, other nations play rugby, but they're not included in this tournament; if you want to know more, check out Wikipedia.

But really, all you need to know is that Welsh, English, Irish, Scottish, French and Italian expats all over the world will be descending on their local pubs tomorrow, and every weekend through the end of March, while the tournament is being played out.

Other things you might want to know: Wales is the current title holder, and the tournament began last weekend. England, Wales and Ireland won the first round last weekend.

Be thankful that this year the Six Nations organizers have scheduled the games late in the day...the last few years you would have found loads of Brits (and at least one lovely wife - moi) sitting around the bar, eating proper English breakfasts, drinking beer, (said lovely wife was drinking hot chocolate - not beer!) at 7am EST because the games are shown live!

Matt and I have watched matches in DC and Philly at Fado's Irish Pub. If there isn't one near you, just call any Irish pub in your town and ask them where it's been shown.

The remaining Welsh matches are listed below - all times are GMT. Click this link for the full schedule.

Saturday 14th February: Wales v England (5.30pm)

Friday 27th February: France v Wales (8.00pm)

Saturday 14th March: Italy v Wales (3.00pm)

Saturday 21st March: Wales v Ireland (5.30pm)

I should warn you to be prepared to pay a fee...up to $20 to view the tournament. The bars and pubs are required to charge admission to view these games. But really, what's $20 when you might meet your very own Mr. Darcy? It could happen!

As you can tell, I'm hooked on British men! Though I didn't meet Matt this way, if I had known about Six Nations when I was single you can bet I would have tried...as it turned out Matt and I were destined to have our first date at a bar, but not until after we met on an online dating site. But that's a post for another day!

And no post of mine would be complete without at least one photo of the adorable Ms. Foo. Here she is with her Welsh dad in their Go Cymru! (Go Wales! in Welsh) rugby jerseys:


P.S. I somehow missed that yesterday I published my 100th post! Yahoo! Congrats to me!
