Valentines Day - what a load of rubbish!


And what did you get him? Or was it just one way?
 
And what did you get him? Or was it just one way?

I don't get him anything, never did..........well nothing directly for him but he definitely benefits!

This year, there will be no cards nor presents, just a nice quite night in with friends a few beers!
 
On my wife's instructions, I am not to even get her a card never mind overpriced flowers etc.
Ditto. Although my girlfriend will be expecting something.
When I was in secondary school - my dad (for a joke) sent a bunch of flowers and a badly written card signed from 'my secret admirer' to my school office - I got called up in assembly to collect my flowers - mortification!
Indeed, so this is where your deep-seated aversion to Valentine's Day stems from.
 
Well you know..... if you're going to do it, do it right!

There was once a saying "strike while the iron is hot", however I have always been of the belief that you can brain someone quite as easily with a cold iron as with a hot one
 
Glad you posted that, Liaconn. Just rang the florist to cancel them!

W-e-e-l I wouldn't like to see your deposit go to waste. Could you arrange for them to be delivered at about 11am and I'll make sure to be down in the canteen having a coffee. That way I'll have a nice big audience to witness me blushing and looking all morto and putting my hands up to my face with embarassment. And could you make sure they're RED roses and at least a dozen. Thanks.
 

She gave me back my deposit. I think she pitied me because I had that "nobody loves me" look about me. If I go back to her again, she'd probably think I was messing with her and would probably charge me double, second time 'round. Having said that, I'm sure you'd be worth it!
 

Well, I've just realised, Valentine's day is on Sunday so I'd look a bit silly standing in the canteen all by myself (not to mention the burglar alarm going off in the background) so probably just as well.
 
And also I want to go to cinema this weekend but couldn't face the loved up couples walking around the place - God I really do hate valentines day!

Well, I go to the cinema a lot and I'll always be loved up with my missus
 
I work in a building with lots of girls age 20 - 30. There seems to be competition, one girls gets 12 red roses, is delighted until another girl gets 24 until another girl gets 48....
I havent witnessed competition like this but when I was a short while in my current workplace I remember one girl having to haul () a bunch of roses all through the office on Valentine's Day cos her husband had left them in the car 'to surprise her'.
 
went one year to Luttrellstown castle for a romantic dinner...2 sittings 7pm or 9m from memory. Food was horrible, slopped out on a plate, lukewarm. No atmosphere, others had a better idea & avoided the night. Cost me a small fortune.

Never again. Got flowers one year, dont want to spoil Mrs Pete every year !!

And the rugby is in Paris this weekend too...
