    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.

    That's for sure. Normal weekend for us anyway, no real need to broadcast or label it.

    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.
