1258418 2012-02-12 01:20:00 It's a totally revenue gathering exercise for the card companies, flower shops, chocolate sellers see here (www.biblestudy.org)

But in the spirit of "get over it", try this: "My wife told me I was no longer romantic so I booked a table for the two of us on Valentine's Night. Problem was she's not interested in snooker."

Look out for a "geeky" post from me tomorrow re the date. (Can somebody pre-empt me on that?)

Enjoy the rest of you weekend (pissing with rain here!)

1258422 2012-02-12 04:58:00 I was in my early twenties and a single piss drinking chick rooting hua and I got an beautiful anonymous card. Never knew who sent it I kept watching the chicks in the pub afterwards to see if they were looking at me and laughing as chicks do, but alas I never found out. Over 30 years and it still bugs me, possibly a root I missed out on. prefect (6291)

1258424 2012-02-12 05:43:00 The present giving is more an investment. Gifts and cuddles and general romance in exchange for hopefully something a bit naughty and 'experimental' once it's bedtime. A cold-hearted man might be able to get his rewards without financial outlay using the weapon of 'guilt' or the heavy artillery - 'hollow promises' but it only works for one year so best just to cough up for something half decent before someone else does.
Getting ingredients for fancy cocktails can be a winner, the ladies like 'em, it's seasonal and you can dig out a Hawaiian shirt to show a bit of effort. Romance, fun, and a tipsy lady - it's a result!
Once Valentine's is over, you can discard all the little umbrellas and nonsense and you still have a bottle or two of splendid spirits to both congratulate and reward yourself with on a job well done. The expensive liqueurs and suchlike will keep till next year so no worries there for the thrifty, or for those that may have to try their luck with someone else.
Bon Chance!
