Anti - Valentines Day thread.

[Queen Firey-Bou]

Phoarrrr, sweat & fear & adrenalin, petrol & oil & broken sumps, & grease & the sound of smashing glass & splittering metal..

ahhhhh, actually i am starting to feel all romantic now.....

[Oddboy]

Bou: "but now its all pathetic childish innuendo & smut"

Slips: "One year she got a full set of power tools, "

*giggle*

[Tanky]

This year, me+ tank boy are 'hosting' (e.g inviting everyone down the pub for beer and stupidity) a Friday the 13th Anti-Valentines do. Loud crunchy tunes, gallons of assorted alcohol and giving away of pots of hand cream and cheap dildos to those deemed worthy is the order of the day!
Tank boy also had the fab idea of collecting any over-indulgence-induced hurl in a bucket and presenting it to the soppiest couple that have the misfortune to meet us.(you just got engaged??? aaaw, congratulations, have a bucket of puke! heh!)
I don't think we'll be doing that last bit...

Happy valentines to those that absolutely have to partake, and i hope i've provided a few ideas for a good night out to those that don't wanna.

The pressure to be original on this day is a nightmare, as is the possibility (or stupidity) of not doing anything just cause she says she doesn't want to do anything (cause she is lieing - really she is, don't believe her cause if you do nothing then she will punish you, oh yes she will, just you mark my words, oh yes you will suffer, suffer, suffer.....sorry....lost it a bit then).  So this year I intend to keep it simple; arrange for mother-in-law to have the boy for the night; champagne and other nice wine; flowers and choccy; and a simple meal that we cook together.

That night just do it.

[Pyroxian]

Yeah, I was considering doing that in Leicester too, getting together with a bunch of my single mates, getting pissed and bitching about the opposite/same sex.

Although we're mostly all roleplayers, so it'll probably just degenerate into people talking about their Vampire Characters (Yaaaawn)/Magic Decks (Aieee!)

for extra points you could send a  non signed card to your signifcant other.
see if they tell you they got it?

if they dont. you have every right to act all annoyed. if they do then tell them it was from you. you will be loved and loathed at the same time.

but i always buy the wife a forever friends bear a card i must admit. i always work on the 14th as its time to make MONEY$$$$$$$.

 here the women buy all the men chocolate, regardless of carnal intent. Female office workers love it when V`s day is on saturday because they don`t have to buy "duty chocolates" for their bosses. There is another day in March when the men are expected to reciprocate. that`s called White Day.
  Who cares if it`s a commercial con, it`s a bit of fun. Krustabi`s original post didn`t sound very "happy and freeeeeeeee", but he`ll change his tune in a few years. Probably.

Japan kicks ass. I want free chocolate! And maybe a few bottles of saki, just to help the day pass more quickly...

[Mr C]

But where do the Ninja Schoolgirls with pink hair come into it?

[Matt Timson]

I send anonymous Valentine cards out to female friends that I think would benefit from the feelgood factor.  It doesn't cost me very much (in the great scheme of things) and I know that they'll be dead chuffed (even if they won't admit it).

I don't tell Sara though.  I don't think she'd understand.

You could leave them reassuring anonymous phonecalls as well...

Lining up the next one, eh?

[Matt Timson]

Tsss!  Can't a bloke just be... you know...

Kind?

Every now and then?

I know it doesn't fit with the rest of the evidence, but...
