I'll be carrying pins to pop balloons and weed killer for the flowers I see

Its fun being twisted!

Working!

I asked my 15yr old yesterday if he wanted to go and get a Valantine's day card for someone special. His reply "What? For desperado day. No thanks Mum"

It certainly made me laugh.

To me today is just a day for florists and shops to make money. If you need a special day to tell your loved one you love them, then I guess today is just for you

Me personally, I tell Jack everyday what I think of him...oops, I mean feel about him...oops...Okay...enough said

From the title of the thread, I thought you were making an offer.

Nah if that was the case I would have titled it something like "The AFF Single People's Hookup On Valentine's Thread"

We do nothing. Both agree it is a marketing ploy and really means nothing. Plenty of days in the year you can show you love someone, although I have a sneaking suspicion my partner still hopes for something. If it were really a day to celebrate it should be a public holiday lol.

Isn't a hand polish and clean the normal Valentine's Day for single guys?

I was just reading some of the Valentine's in todays paper. My favourite so far:

To the internet - I don't think she has found out about us yet. See you tonight.

The better halfs birthday was on Friday, so mine was a combined Birthday / Valentines weekend that just passed.

Got her this:



The personal plates arrived Friday as well

Booked a hotel for Friday night "Romance Package" thinggo (Thank God for that lastminute website!)

And got her that silly Scooby Doo pillow thing she was ooing and aaahing over a few weeks ago at K-Mart.

Next year... a card and flowers will suffice.

Yeah yeah I know... American marketing etc etc. But the look on her face was worth it

Nice work mate.
Hopefully none of our missus find this thread and see the effort you've done

"see he is nice, why aren't you?!"

If I had a girlfriend she would have got the best present from me today.

I would have bought her tickets to the monster trucks happening Saturday night, and cooked dinner/dessert and also popcorn for us while we have a movie marathon. Robocop trilogy!

Well my earlier post was correct, whilst we agreed valentines day was a farce, or so I thought, the mrs is now not speaking to me because I got her nothing.

Plan on sending the missus some balloons today and in the card something to the effect of: 'I don't need a day marked on a calender to tell you I love you.'

Soppy and shiz I know. But, women like that kinda stuff at it at least will get me out of the negatives in brownie points.
