Rob Brook's takes the plunge and moves from London to Manchester with his girlfriend, leaving his home city, his job and his best friend in the whole world. After six months and realising the difficulties of making friends in your thirties, he places an advert in a Manchester magazine, bringing awful 'bloke dates' with it. Just about giving up, Rob finds just the friend to go for a pint with, unfortunately with one huge flaw. She's a girl.
