    SA, let us know what the film is like, was thinking of going to see it myself.

    I can see the sentiment in it - it's like "I'm going to treat you the same way I did when we were "courting" " sort of thing. Its quite sweet as long as it isn't expected!

    I wasn't going to bother with it at all, and I honestly didn't think we'd ever done anything for it, but my lad reminded me that infact we have celebrated valentines day for the last 3 years!
    2004 - got mortal with each other in town (when our prospective others sat home wonderring where we were)
    2005 - went to see crazy sweary welsh rappers the GLC
    2006 - went to Edinburgh and had a joint lapdance

    So we've decided to keep up the romantic theme, and we're off t see Hot Fuzz

    Yes, they've heard of it but why would they want it...?

    You see, modern sales techniques have changed the whole thing.
    Traditionaly Valentines is the day when women can make advances to men, a practice that would once have them labelled as tarts.

    BTW Have women never heard of equality.

    FFS!

    My current squeeze asked if we're going out for a meal tomorrow. I replied "Like feck, why?"

    She said "It's romantic, it's valentines day!"

    My retort was of course "Yes, and what does valentine's day mean?"

    She said "It's where men have to be romantic!"

    Oh FFS!!!

    Btw, found this on Wikipedia




    Hmmmmmm, wonder what I'll be getting (to go with my cold shoulder and thick ear!!!)
    You might want to buy yourself a box of tissues.

    The Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.

    Valentines day is a bunch of @rse, invented by businesses, to make money out of yet more gullible saps. Like Christmas, Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day etc.

    I see no point in spending £loads on flowers - cut flowers i.e. dying plants.

    Humbug.
    The "sex" part is always good

    Yes, it's all b0llocks - I try and get away with the 'listen, when you are romantic every day of the year, you don't need to make a special effort on one day'. Truth is, women spend the whole day comparing what they got/are doing with all the other women they know at work, home etc. Women are viciously competitive socially and if you don't give them anything, they feel worthless and blame you. Get nice card, 20 notes on flowers (preferably ones she likes rather than default roses, try white). M&S always works, get smile and probably she will do that special thing you like - job done.

    Nope - if you're the kind of person to send them, and she's the kind of person to like them, then you're a beautiful match!
