I'm always willing to put up with you. I may have to go to a party afterwards, ,especially if my some act of god I was to actually win the bloody thing. But you are the absolute perfect excuse to get out of there post haste.
Anything you want to wear is fine. We're probably going to that great restaurant you found for us that serves great british food. My dad is really picky.
In that case, absolutely anything. Brown, red, purple.... it's all the same to me.
