Re: Valentines day
Gave nothing, getting nothing.
Thankfully Miss Sid was as rubbish as me this year, so I think we're going out this weekend to make up for it if we can find someone to look after our daughter.

Re: Valentines day
Hallmark holiday for us all to ejaculate our wages on.
I always find it a strange concept, along with other gift giving celebrations, that you don't "love" someone or whatever if you don't buy them something. A disgusting part of the capitalist regime in which we live.

Re: Valentines day
Well, Valentines day has been completely overshadowed in our house by the fact that Son No 2 popped out in this day eight years ago.
We tend to spend it chasing after him

Expensive looking fish and chips, never could work out why some places provide a side salad instead of an extra bowl of chips.iluva64 wrote:Same as every year........

As for me, it's not fair on my other halfs husband if I send her cards and flowers

Did book us a holiday though.

You'll get fat eating that lot. Far too much salad.

Re: Valentines day
Never done Valentine's Day. Always funny seeing the restaurants with all tables for 2. Ideal night to go out for a curry in a noisy big group.
However Decided this year to book a table for 2 for the wife and me.
And now she's ****** off cos I booked American pool and not English pool at the local Rileys Sports Bar...
