Further details
It's Valentine's Day and a flyer from a dating agency lands on the mat. Deciding he'll give it a go, Pompidou decides to get all dressed up and tries on a selection of wigs. Pompidou arrives at the agency and Sally, the dating agent, shows him a selection of ladies which he refuses. Sally is slightly bemused and she deletes Pompidou's profile.
Later that day, Pompidou goes to a restaurant and noticing Sally dining alone, he beckons her over to join him. Ordering almost the entire menu, Pompidou ends up blowing soup all over Sally and devours her starter. When the bill arrives Pompidou makes a song and dance about paying, until he sees the cost. He has an idea about how to avoid paying, but it backfires. And Sally ends up paying for the meal and as Pompidou leans in for a kiss, he gets a slap!
