... Meeting the girlfriend's parents tonight for the first time. Normally I wouldn't panic but my family knows their family and her dad has a reputation for not suffering fools gladly.
Therein lies my problem.
I am one of the biggest fools this man will have ever encountered.

If you try and act all sensible he'll drop on you like a gang of homosexual inmates kept in solitary confinement for three years. If however you go with plain and obvious foolishness, at least you might fall short of death and instead end up with honesty. This will give you time to convince him or break up with her.

Haha,
You'll be alright bud. Just find a common topic of conversation and you'll get on fine..
Football or cars would be a good start 😉
Good luck.
What I know about farming could be written on a first class stamp.

or failing that, the good ol' favourite irish topic of the weather.
I've been known to talk for well over 15 minutes with taxi drivers on the weather, brilliant for getting out of a tricky conversational situation 🙂

Give the Mom a hug when you first meet her, grab her @$$ and as you lick her neck, whisper, "I hope you're half as good as your daughter darling."
Actually, take some flowers and/or a bottle of wine. Ask the Dad what he does for a living, get him talking about himself, people love having a captive audience. Under no circumstances let the conversation turn to what you do or think.

Seriously - treat his daughter like a lady . If she's happy and treated with respect it won't matter to him whether he likes you or not . He's most concerned with his girl's well being and happiness . If you seem to be taking care of that he'll only growl , but probably won't bite .

I find half a pint of vodka usually wors 😉
You will want to be plenty loose. Just keep thinking, "I'm good looking, intelligent and bullet proof, I'm good looking, intelligent and bullet proof, I'm good looking, intelligent and bullet proof"
This should be your mantra
