...a deep philosophical conversation about whether it is the Italian football (soccer) team or Paris Hilton who makes our cereal soggy in the morning, was it polite to ask my father for his opinion even though I had to repeat some of the things my new friend and I had already mentioned? I'm wondering if it was appropriate to stall such a serious conversation just to get my father's opinion also...
(And no, I don't live with my parents except for about two or three weeks out of the year when I travel to visit.)

To be honest it is your father and he should understand that sometimes when you walk in in the middle of a conversation you just have to pick up the threads of the conversation without everything having to be repeated. So unless there was a particular reason to repeat there is no need to do this. Of course this does not mean you would have to exclude your father from the conversation and thereby perhaps alienate your new friend. Besides you must drink in classier pubs then me because when you take someone home from a pub in my town the conversation tends to be ...um...er.... limited.

Did you arrange for a "second date"? If so, I wouldnt worry about it too much. The fact that you are concerned about there being a possibility she may have percieved you as being rude says a lot about the kind of man you are. It's nice to see that. I most likely wouldn't have been offended in that situation, but I'd be very impressed (and my heart my have melted) if you were to come to me and ask me afterwards and ask me if I did find it rude. You are obviously a very thoughtful person, and if it doesn't work out with her, you can reach me any time :)

wow, i thought you were going to say something else, which is totally messed up because that is not the first thing that i should be thinking when i read that sentence, but unless your new friend doesnt like to be repeated or somthing freaky like that then no i don't think it is rude but maybe you could just repeat the question instead of the everything you guys said. good luck

Your father seems to walk in on you a lot (when you have
female company) perhaps next time you come home from
the pub bring a extra lady for your dad so he can get involved
in his own "deep conversation"God knows he probably needs it,

This is an odd question you ask. Any mature man would know he doesn't have to share any of his intimate women conversations with his father. :o(

Ask your father if he would like to join in...I'm sure the young lady wouldn't mind his opinions. Have a 3some of sorts....oy.....

It shows a respect to your Father he deserves, and you're friend will be impressed with your move.
