Re: It's that day again.
I told MrsREV last night that I needed to pop out to ASDA. She asked me to pick up a Valentines card for her to give to me. I suggested we just don’t bother and she agreed. Result.

I'm surprised people still bother with all this shite.
Re: It's that day again.
I just buy a card. Women like cards.
about 10 years ago I agreed to go out to dinner on the day with my missus (after years of protesting against the idea). it was exactly as expected - the restaurant (that we’d been to previously) had zero atmosphere with no bigger groups, just a load of couples sat there not wanting to be the loudest in there. The menu was shit (set) and they farmed in 3 sittings into the Evening so it all felt rushed.
It was worth it though, we never had to go out on Valentine’s Day again!

I very much approve of this tactic

We tend to look after the children of couples who actually like each other on Valentines day...

The O/H is working tonight, luckily, so I'll get a quiet evening cleaning up the Scalextric or lancing a boil or something. We'll go out on Saturday when things are back to 'normal'.

I usually try and find a nice hotel somewhere with the sort of restaurant that doesn't get filled up with bored couples looking at their phones, and have a night away as well as a nice meal.
Sometimes I even take my girlfriend.
We're off to The Gunton Arms in North Norfolk later, seems to fit the bill nicely.

I see Nuttinnew has hacked my iCloud again.
Rev, did you not spot that a dozen red roses is a tenner in Asda?

It wasn't the cost, I just really, really didn't want to get off the sofa and go out.

Oh, I had to - we'd run out of butter. And you can't recreate Last Tango with Utterly Butterly, it's not right.
Re: It's that day again.
My wife got me a card, but had a chat with my son who has kind of had a girlfriend this last while and asked if he’d got her a card. He obviously hadn’t so gave my card to him to write and started to supervise/help him write it. He didn’t seem too enthused and after much bickering it turns out that they’re “on a break”.
By this point he’d half written the card, so she took it off him, tore it up and threw it in the bin.
So at least i got a card today. It’s been sellotaped back together and there’s some stuff in it that’s been crossed out (like another name), but its the thought that counts right?

Indeed it is - in this instance, the thought would appear to be "well i want to give him something but no fucking way can I be arsed going to the shops again"

I cut out heart shapes and left a trail of clues leading to some nice cheeses. The trail is cunningly and well laid.

Re: It's that day again.
Me and the other half avoid going out on Valentine’s Day for a meal, this year we’ve bought ourselves some nice beer to try but we haven’t bothered with cards as it just seems pointless. Plus it’s a year since we lost my nan so I’m not in the mood.
