free car park in Cathedral street because the queue was too. (2)____________. We tried Market
Street, but it was too (3)_____________. In the end we parked in Jury lane, which was cheaper,
but Brad was still moaning because he said it was too (4)________________ from the restaurant.
when we got to the restaurant I thought it was OK, but Brad said that it was too
(5)___________ and that he didnt feel comfortable around so many people, so we had to try
somewhere else. We went to a little Italian place around the corner, but I thought it was too
(6)_______________. There were only eight tables! It took us ages served, and when we

eventually did Brad told the waitress that she was too (7) ________________. I think she went
even slower after that on purpose.
When we get our food, Brads pizza was too (8)___________________ so he burnt his mouth.
My pasta was too (9)_______________, but I didnt want to complain because Brad was already
doing enough of that for both of us! Then Brad told the waitress that the music was to
(10)______________ and the lights were too (11)_______________. Nothing was right for him.
He even accused the very quiet and nice couple next to us of being too (12)___________.
when we left the restaurant, Brad wanted to go to a club, but I said I thought it was too
(13)_________________, because I was tired and it was nearly quarter to midnight. He asked me
if I wanted to go out with him again and I said Id think about it, because I wasnt too
(14)________________ in seeing him again. I think hes fantastic-looking and hes got a nice
car, but hes a bit too (15)_____________ for my taste. Give me someone more laid-back any
