    Yeah I still don't have any takers. Looks like Valentines 2010 is going to be a cheap time for me.

    I must apolagise for thinking that women never take the lead in organising romantic stuff and that we should be all equal about this valentines day tulip. I know now that the 14th of Feb is a mans time to shine and women celebrate us a month later. Women...unless you want to start caring for a lot of cats. You have 5 weeks to get it sorted.

    Steak & Blowjob Day - 14th March (work safe)

    So here is my plan. I'll still let some suitable lady make the first move on march the 14th then I'll make it upto her 11 months later. Any takers?

    If your main squeeze is expecting a card/gift then a couple of quid spent in the Tesco garage is going to save you an awful lot of grief. Even if it does rankle against your SVD sensibilities.

    It is an over blown tradition that has been pushed out of all proportion by card choc and flower sellers.
    Traditionaly it is a day for SECRET admirers to leave tokens for the one they are attracted too.
    It is not for couples to send tokens of their love (soppy bulldust).

    I told the wife that I had declared my undying love for herwhen wegot wed and that I will not do VDay.
    I also gave her the option of romantic stuff 3 times a year (V, X and B days) or she could let me be romantic and sponatanious on any day I pleae. How can I love her more 1 day a year?

    Commercialism at its worst. Bah humbug to boot.

I think its most likely to do with the way she is sitting at her desk, but not sure.
    It is definitely to do with the way you sit at a desk or even stand for long periods. My fiancee has had sciatica on occasions over the last couple of years and I massage his back and bum for him to ease it.

    Have you tried a TENS unit on the pain, it's supposed to work wonders.

    You need back strnegthening exercises. I get mine from playing rugby for to long and getting hurt.. alot.

    One result of Sciatica is the bum muscles getting super bunched up and tight, and these compress the nerve, and hence the pain. I use a tennis ball to massage my ass if the wife has tired hands. It works great, you put the tennis ball against the wall and your bum cheek against the ball... you then press against it, and you get a self massage and can knead out the knots in the muscles. It is not a cure... its a relief from the symptoms to get you through tough patches until you find a cure. But it really does help.. ALOT.

    As long as you get your end away I don't really see the issue.

    Its more about fitting into some dodgy stereotype of the bloke must organise something than actually doing it.
