Guys: Valentine's Day

[dedja]

Commerialized rubbish...nothing romantic about following the herd on the one day the media and those wanting a profit tell you that you must be 'romantic'.

Do something on almost any other day of the year, when least expected and not necessarily for any specific reason...at least then it shows you used your brain and thought of the idea yourself...now that's romantic.

Yes, quite true ... up there with the commercialisation of Christmas and the need to buy presents for everyone.

[A Mum]

It just my personal opinion of it so I probably wouldn't try to change her view cos, no offence to your or anyone elses missus, but I suspect once your suckered into it you're pretty much stuck with it.

I know I've got mates who are...I'd consider a cuppa in bed romantic if it was out of character and was done just because he can but they judge romance by the number of ££££££££'s spent...very sad and a bit shallow imho.

Not necessarily so...
I think my husband is on a bi-annual calendar when it comes to Valentines day

Must be world wide conspiracy as my missus does the same.

[A Mum]

I don't mind that much - as I said earlier - before kids was sweet,
After kids you have mothers day and the likes,
Not to mention kids now come first anyway

[SABRE]

Suggestion....Cook a meal for her.

BRILLIANT IDEA A Mum !
This could be the answer to all my problems. My cooking abilities should do the trick nicely.
Of course, the coroner might prove intent, but one look at photos of the corpse should even
have the jury screaming ...."It's self defence !"

Risky, but definitely worth a try !

[A Mum]

you're a nutter SABRE
(And I mean that in the nicest possible way)

[tipper]

Can i suggest this as a present?????

Anniversaries, Birthdays, Mother's Day, Valentines Day, talk about double double dipping LOL.

regards,

REB

I saw you online and I just knew you'd comment my post in this thread

Valentine's day is just a day to tell/show someone you love them - I mean - My grandmother used to to ring me and say happy valentines day
Also I think it's more for the young - pre kids than us older ones

If I said that to Mrs REB or bought some flowers she'd say 'all right, what have you done!'

regards,

REB

Use manners.

i.e Can I have a root.....please.

That ups the romance !

LOL, wait until she's asleep, no need to ask then.

Really shouldn't have read these whilst having lunch, funny as .. Very good lads!!

Onto Valentines day, I hate it with a passion and always have .. Whilst it's always been rather kind to me, I despise it's meaning - If you genuinely love someone, why should you attempt to show them more on that particular day as opposed to the other 364 in a year?

[OnSong]

That would get pretty expensive.

Took Mrs.Moe to see Rob Thomas at the Day on the green yesterday.
Had a great time even if i was a week early.

My wife and I tended to ignore Valentine's Day and saved the tokens for the Ides of March as it was our wedding anniversary.
We had both been married before, and had both sworn "never again", so the date appealed to our sense of humour when we decided to marry.
If we had decided a few weeks sooner she may have wanted to marry on Valentine's Day.

[redandblack]

I'm not sure why there's such a dismissal of Valentine's Day. Of course it's commercialised, but so is Mother's Day, Christmas Day, etc; and Valentine's Day has been around for a long, long time.

Whatever you do on Valentine's Day doesn't affect what you do with your relationship on any other day, so why so anti?

Anyone going to not recognise Mothers' Day because it's commercialised? Thought not.

I haven't missed recognising Feb 14th since I was married. It's another chance to celebrate a relationship, something that will always be appreciated, whatever jokes we might make.

[Wedgie]

Valentines Day shits me no end as my missus birthday is the day before and it means Im always paying overinflated prices for presents or finding it hard to get in a decent restaurant!
About as meaningless as marriage in my book.

Jeez CP, hard enough to get the leg over on that one day ... you want us to try everyday???

[Booney]

Righto - Anyday of the year.

1 : Grab rose from bush* in the front yard.

2 : Send kids to bed early.

3 : How 'bout it?

4 :

Never been given flowers before - except sometimes my partner and son will present me with a geranium they've pulled off a stobie pole.

[Squawk]

Put toilet seat down for the whole day from first visit to last visit.
Cancel all outdoor jobs for the day so things like lawnmower and whipper snipper noise don't disturb her.
Then, make a quick trip to the servo for a selection of choice flowers, ideally gift wrapped in a nice white plastic bag so the car seat wont get wet. Attach last years (undated) Valentines card in a fresh envelope.
Inaudible farting only - aim to drink a nice bottle of red wine and offer her the beer as a nice change.
Kindly offer the use of the biggest Plasma TV for the night.
Serve gourmet snacks like chutney and beetroot sandwiches (cut crusts off first and triple deck them) and be sure to provide a paper napkin to go with same.

correct, why is it up to the guy to organise or surprise the woman in the relationship?? maybe in the past but times have changed. Time for the chicks to wow the blokes

exactly, what ever happened to equality?? or is it only supposed to be equal when it suits the women? I sure hope my missus doesnt read this.....
