That time of year again I hate Valentines day...

Now I love my wife dearly however for someone who is anti establishment, globalisation and a strong believer in women's equal rights and sexism throughout the world why does she like this manufactured day. The actual history of this day begins way back in roman times when from Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia. The men sacrificed a goat and a dog, then whipped women with the hides of the animals they had just slain !!!!


We don't need a special day to tell the women in our lives we love them that day should be everyday, not an over priced guilt trip day...


Just saying...

Psycho, I just reckon you are too tight to buy her anything!:wink::)
Our wedding anniversary is on the 12th February, so I have no chance of 'forgetting' about Valentine's Day!

I hate it this year because the girlfriend is in New Zealand for 5 weeks and I have failed to organise a card for her to open over there. Worse still, it would have been easy to send one out with her best mate with whom she is travelling.Bad boyfriend!

It's a bit of a pain trying to work out who all the cards are from but otherwise I like it.

You really haven't worked out women yet mate, they just want to feel a bit special to you once in a while.

I bought a card at the weekend, maybe just missed it previously but there were racks of 'Happy Valentines Day' cards for 'son', 'daughter' and other relatives. WTF ??? (No, I wasn't in Norfolk or Croydon either before you ask)

I've never done anything for Valentines day.

I dated a girl who enquired what I was going to get her for Valentines day to which I replied "Nothing". She didn't believe me and was proper hacked off when the day rolled around. "I did tell you I wasn't getting you anything".

We broke up shortly afterwards.
