Oh giggirl...


Please no blood letting, it's really messy


Remember "they" stoned poor ol'St Valentine to death


Think of it more as a "Hallmark Cards" cash bonanza day


Stay focused on that



It works for Mrs W**F



W**F

Just got this really good advice from a computing newsletter.


"If you have a carbon-based loved one in your life, might I suggest that you turn off the computer for the day and spend it with them. Or else set up a lan network in your house so the two of you can chat via instant messenger."

Aside from most bars/restaurants being packed out with smug couples... no.


When one of my good pals was still single, we did on occasion go out on Valentine's Day, dressed to the nines, with deliberately overtly sexy outfits to a restaurant that was otherwise packed with couples - just to see how many arguments were caused when men's eyes strayed to the table of girls with lots of cleavage or leg that looked like they were having a ball. >:D<

me too!!


And Giggirl...every Sunday in ED feels like that LOL....:))

You could always go out and celebrate Chinese New Year instead or treat it like any other day as said above. Erm....yes there's always the rugby .....:-S

Even when I was in a relationship we never "celebrated" Valentine's day in a big way but it is nice to get surprise choccies and do something fun together too.

Hope you have fun whatever you decide xx

    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
    • Hi, My two years old nephew is a complete bookworm and we are looking for more books for him. Is anyone selling or giving away any books please?    Thank you.
