so...man gives woman some flowers, woman gives man some veg, and the woman is somehow the injured party. I will never understand this materialism lark.

What I'm after knowing is when women (hereafter referred to as crafty bitches) changed Valentines day from giving a card to presents.
The old valentines day was you gave a card to someone you wanted to shag with a hint in it as to who it was from. You never ever gave them to someone you were currently shagging. Now its all about how much tulip your willing to hand over.
I refer to my mate George the philosopher. After learning another mate had proposed on Valentines day under the Eiffel Tower he responded. "Was there a queue?"
Its madness.

Hope he's got enough money for the divorce proceedingsOriginally posted by MaryPoppins View PostI saw a couple in the supermarket today, miserable looking pair - while she perused the veg, he grabbed the nearest bunch of flowers and chucked them in the trolley; I heard her laugh and ask if that was her valentines present, he replied that it would save him having to go out first thing to get her some, and to 'chill out' because he'd 'give her the money back'.

nothing. everyone likes to have a fuss made over them now and then, even us old 'bah humbug' typesOriginally posted by Cliphead View PostNothing wrong with avoiding the commercial aspects but using the excuse to cook a nice meal, let some wine breath and light a few more candles.
Something we do regularly anyway and no need to affirm love on any particular day. What's wrong with being romantic?

We always make the effort on the weekend, in fact almost every meal time. We rarely just chuck something in the oven.
