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.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
