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.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
