You know what day it is

They should most definitely mention it - but if they haven't done so yet then they are probably planning some enormous and inappropriate surprise by which you will HAVE to be delighted. On the other hand they may have forgotten, couldn't be arsed or whatever - at midnight you may kill them.

Total rubbish. If you need Hallmark to tell you to buy your loved one a present, you've got a dysfunctional relationship anyway. I don't fancy paying above the norm in a restaurant crowded with other couples - hardly intimate. Most people who slate Valentines day, do so because they are uncharismatic dogs who can't pull and resent anyone else having a love life. I however, think valentines is rubbish (P and I never buy each other anything) and am still going home for good old fashioned sex...one of the few things in life that is still free and untaxed. jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

Gosh! I find Sex vry taxing..

Sad to say I am 100% unromantic. I've been married for twelve years. I can't be arsed to do all that Valentine's stuff. Then again, I couldn't be arsed even when I wasn't married. If the husband EVER bought me a diamond something or other, especially on one of these 'days', I'd be more likely to get pissed off at him wasting his money. I'd rather have a nice holiday to somewhere interesting (not that I'm likely to get either at this point due to funding shortages!) I'm so not into 'special days' like Val's, Xmas, Hallowe'en, etc., especially the ones that Hallmark encourages. To quote Jude, "Total rubbish." I don't even bother with anniversaries. Who cares?

"...one of the few things in life that is still free and untaxed." Hmm. Durex and the like are rather pricey though, dontcha think? I made a card. It had lots of animals on it.

I've 'done the valentines thing' a couple of times..lol. Let me recall a few of my gifts:- 1. 1991 - a card through the post. A picture of a pig on the front. The card had been sprayed with perfume and that was meant to be the hint that would lead me to my love. Smelling it, the first person I thought of was my nan. Turns out the perfume was some cheap, floral shit that everyone wears. I gave up. 2. 1995 - a cuddly frog dressed in a black t-shirt with, "once a frog, now a toad," written on it. That's right! Only once a year on a special day do I get to be a pig or a toad. So much for romance. But it says alot about the people who sent them. They know me, and know I love stuff like that. I hate the pretentious shit that some ppl do on valentines. Fuck like dogs. Try something new in the bedroom. Instead of champagne and a chocolate heart, try a creampie. ;) There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennett

Hmm. Durex and the like are rather pricey though, dontcha think? Contraceptives are free on the NHS. A rare opportunity to reclaim some of your tax if you can be arsed to go to the fpc. jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

To those of you who claim to be "unromantic," because you don't do Valentine's Day... Not true! I am personally of the opinion that - particularly if one is in a long-term relationship - if one feels that one needs Valentine's Day as a reason to do something romantic for one's partner, then there is a problem with your relationship. It's like... "Hmm, if I remember to buy her flower/chocs/a big diamond, take her out to a posh restaurant, or whatever, on this one day of the year, then that will excuse me being crap the rest of the year." Make the effort the rest of the year! Then you'll see V.Day for the pointless, unromantic, over-commercialised load of old tosh that it is. pe ps oid ... What is "The Art of Tea"? ...
