What's your idea of a great night out? Lots of friends, cocktails, some dancing, and possibly some karaoke thrown in for good measure. If my feet aren’t hurting by the end of the night, I haven’t danced enough. What's your idea of a great night in? A bottle of wine, pizza, a comfy sofa, in front of the telly watching a good detective series. Sum up your perfect date: Would definitely have to involve a good restaurant (not necessarily expensive, just really nice food) for a meal, but doing something a bit different would be great, like going to an interesting concert or doing an introductory class of some sort – rock climbing, sushi-making, fencing, anything really! And plenty of opportunity to chat. My perfect man would be sociable, funny, a bit adventurous and pretty open-minded.

cooking. Describe yourself in 5 words: Passionate, creative, irreverent, driven, spontaneous. Guilty pleasure: Only Fools & Horses, Electric Light Orchestra.

What’s your idea of a great night out? The greatest nights never have plans but inevitably start somewhere with live music and end somewhere that’s open late and has a good jukebox. What’s your idea of a great night in? A bottle of wine and a load of records.
Sum up your perfect date: I like to keep it pretty simple, a couple of relaxed drinks and a chat with a girl I find interesting.

2 Feb–1 Mar 2012 THE LIST 35
8 LINDSAY Age: 22 Work: Customer service advisor / studying for a masters in occupational psychology Where do you live? Yorkhill, Glasgow Hobbies: Reading, baking, sewing, going to see local bands. Describe yourself in 5 words: Inquisitive, loyal, creative, straight-talking and strong. Guilty pleasure: I
have to admit I watch a lot of mind-numbing TV. I like to be able to switch off after a long day of studying. Pet peeve: People who say ‘pacifically’ instead of specifically. Animal lover? Yes, I like cats although I don’t have any myself. What's your idea of a great night out? Dinner and a great band, preferably in a small venue like Tut's or The Captain's Rest in Glasgow. The atmosphere is always so much better than huge venues. What's your idea of a great night in? Thai food, a bottle of prosecco and a film. Sum up your perfect date: Something a little bit different. I think a visit to the Science Centre would be fun. There are also amazing stargazing events organised by Glasgow University that would be very interesting. I like dates that spark a conversation or a discussion. I’m not a fan of the traditional cinema type dates. I prefer to be able to talk to the guy!
9 TANIA Age: 33 Work: Science communication Where do you live? Edinburgh Hobbies: I like trying new things, and I’ve recently started tap dancing. Not likely to become the next Ginger Rogers but its good fun. I’m into cooking and food in general – I love trying new recipes, ingredients and experimenting in the kitchen. I also really like a good browse around a farmers market or any other food festival. I’m quite creative and enjoy making my own cards, and the kid in me absolutely loves colouring in. I love a good puzzle too – mostly logic or number puzzles. Describe yourself in 5 words: Energetic, inquisitive, fearless(ish), sociable and geeky. Guilty pleasure: Cheesy 80s films and music. Pet peeve: Shower curtains that stick to you! Animal lover: Guess I wouldn’t call myself an animal ‘lover’ more a ‘liker of all animals’. My favourite animal is the giraffe.
