Valentine's Day tomorrow - any plans???


Recommended Posts

Load of old horseshit.


BUT it's a great time to spot miserable couples in restaurants.. straining for conversation as they realise this is the first proper meal out they've had together since the previous Valentine's day.. and discovering how little they actually have in common when they don't have their big group of friends to paper over the cracks.

God, that's not mine. Mine will be sitting embittered on the sofa with my brother who won't move out of my very small flat 5 months after coming to stay for a couple of weeks (the bitterness is directed at him, not my single status, I won't be weeping into an australian chardonnay and singing All By Myself, well not unless there's really nothing on telly)


but I do think this whole "oh I don't do Valentine's Day" thing is a cop out. you don't have to go out for an expensive meal and buy shit chocolates from thorntons - an extra reason to show someone you love / fancy / lust after them is always quite nice really. of course you should do it each and every day, but new nipple tassles every day would get prohibitively expensive

Kinda agree with the sentiment on most of the posts. I really don't like being told to do something at the best of times let alone sit in a restaurant and force the conversation if you really don't feel like it.... and I WON'T feel like it tomorrow!


As Rosie says you should always make the effort not just because Hallmark have said so.


Flowers are no big deal are they? A small price to pay me thinks .. especially with the fantastic Alan Day down the road - they really are fantastic value there.


BTW - nipple tasssles are usually a xmas thing in our household! Look good with tinsel ::o

Sorry - I don't want to be told WHEN to make a fuss of my partner. Valentine's day used to low key and fun - about getting a card from an admiring stranger - now its about materialism, consumerism and, from some newspaper articles, competition between women about who has the most money spent on them. Personally I think it stinks.

    • Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found. 
    • Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.      
    • Campfire on from about 7pm on Fridays - pop along and join me - I always have some Small Beer available. 
    • Thanks. I dropped off the books that I thought would be most helpful for them already this week.  Thanks for the advice. I have advertised the ones that may be of use for studies on this forum then dropped off some at Oxfam in Herne Hill and others at the Bell End House book exchange. Still a few more to drop which I will likely give to Mind on LL who I like.
