No, as Valentine's Day is a load of old cobblers what with all that forced 'romance'.


Although today wasn't all bad, the guy who was browsing for cards (yes, Valentine's ones) in the shop on North Cross Road, at the same time as me this morning, was kinda nice...


PS - WTII? :-S


Katie :))

Jeez, I thought 30-40 seconds was stretching it a bit !!


Tells every woman on the forum a lot about you (Said the queen)


no substitute for a young stiff beau with a penchant for throwing his woman to the ground and having his wicked way for a good thirty or forty seconds because you deserve it!


I can't think of anything more repulsive (Said the queen)


Queeny these answers of yours, says it all!

I was in the bar humbug camp - but i had 12 rede roses delivered to work with chocolates today. I have been with the man for 25 years, and it is the first time he has ever done this. IT was absolutely fabulous- I was a bit embarrassed on the tube- but then I realised there were a lot of people looking at me and the flowers and I thought "bloody marvellous". Probably wont happen again,but it made me feel great- especially as he is working away.:))

Just as well they didn't decide to go skiing that year.

LOL

Seems to me those that say 'I don't do Valentine's Day, it's commercial nonsense' better have a rock-steady record in spontaneous non-commercial unreminded romantic efforts for their loved ones.


A thoughtful message in a card is a lovely thing even if not anonymous.


Still, it's not really celebrating Valentine's Day if you're not surreptitiously getting married under threat of death. Anyone?

But you are not buying yourself the card Loz. Are you ?

No but a) it is from me and should therefore reflect me, and b) the missus is of similar views on over-the-top sentimental tat.


Really, some of the cards would make Barbara Cartland retch.

    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
