Valentine's Day

[davewebbsbrain]

No problem with showing the other half some love, just having to do it on one specific day because the card industry tells you to, it a big pile of bolleaux.

Industy also dictates you buy your kids easter eggs, give xmas cards and presents and birthday cards and presents..you lot are a real miserable tight fisted bunch

Plageurism is not big or clever:D

Nothing to do with being tight fisted or miserable - just not part of "follow everybody else, I have no imagination of my own" crew.....

Hope you have a lovely valentines day if that is what you are into....

I on the other hand AM tight fisted and miserable, so there.

The missus is in for a cracking evening :p

i'm buying my other half a romantic coffee from the Costa in Heathrow Terminal 3, and shall expect here to be suitably grateful.

 

[MrB]

She's cooking me a meal at home tonight. Sorted. Got her some flowers but she chose them while we shopped at Waitrose last night, nice and easy.

Have convinced her that eating out with poor quality, high priced set menus is not the way forward.

 

[Desert Shrimper]

I have a similar attitude to "Slipperpuke" (c. CSJ 2006.) As a young and naive man I sampled what Valentine's Day had to offer and decided it was incompatible with a long-term relationship. Go in all guns blazing once and they'll expect it every year on top of all the other stuff we do throughout the year as industry standard. Subsequently older and wiser, this year's offering from me is a card and not one ladies and gentleman but TWO whole boxes of chocolates from Tescos. I may cook dinner or something tonight and big it up as something it's patently not. That'll be it.

If you own a low rent Italian 'style' restaurant you have a licence to print money tonight.

It's not just that - it's the fact that you sit there with 30 other couples, doing exactly the same thing, and you die a slow death of embarrassment. It is toe-curlingly, @rse-clenchingly awful.

The missus and I have a little routine - I get her a wee quirky pressie (a necklace this year, but not a hideously expensive one), she cooks me a fab dinner. Works for me.

:)

Oh, and the card section at John Lewis Oxford St last night at 6.45 pm was like feeding time at the zoo. It was hideous - I'll avoid doing that again if I can.

:eek:

 

[Slipperduke]

I got a nice card for Mrs Slipperduke with a nice message.

Later tonight, I shall take her to a nice bar for a nice bottle of wine, take her home, cook her a nice dinner and then doink her straight through the headboard.

I work just round the corner from there! (Cavendish Sq)

Went to Clintons instead next to the carphone warehouse, and the queue was ridiculous!

A pearl necklace by chance?

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Don't be rude, Napster...!

:flamer:

And no, we have a tradition of quirky presents. It was a necklace made out of buttons of different shapes & sizes - sounds odd, but actually is pretty cool.

So ner.

:angel:

Valentine's day is rubbish, I went into Gloucester today and there were loads of flower stalls with big queues of couples, with most of them the bird already had flowers . Two bunches of flowers is just greedy.

A few of the lads I know are going out with their significant others tonight to get their wallets raped, while I'll be out and about getting off my face while dressed like the 118 advert. How valentines day should be.

Top bloke!

Last year was my first 'valentines day' with my current squeeze and I went to Brentford so every year will be an improvement on that! :cool:

 

[Jonny_Stokes]

Reasons the not-so-new Mrs. Stokes got past the "New Mrs. Stokes" stage #26: "You're not getting me anything for Valentines Day are you, Jonny? I hate all that sh*t"

 

[ShrimperChris]

Have to be honest, I have a bloody good 'Valentine's' Day yesterday. Consisted of getting half cut in my house in front of the ****nal game on telly and then going down the SU bar on the promise of free beer when I got there from a mate. One of the best nights out I've had in ages. Managed to add to my random student thefts as well (always seems like a good idea to take roadworks stuff at the time!).

Cant moan and only spent about a tenner! Happy days.

:cool:
