Valentine's Day ! What kind of a holiday is that? Is that supposed to be one of those Sentimental, love and peace, hippie holidays? Pardon the Unitalicised words.

I am the signature virus! Copy me into your signature so that I can take over the world! Moohahahee!

I doubt I'll ever get a girlfriend, so Valentine's Day will be something productive for me instead -- A day of computer game playing!

Valentines Day, what a scam! Just another excuse for people to buy products and support our capitalist societies. I for one, do not celebrate this day, as it is truly the epitome of the so-called "hallmark holiday". Damn greedy bastards! Making up special days to sell products... *Esquilax breaks off into inaudible mumbling*.

Sorry, it's nearly 40C here in Melbourne, and I HATE hot weather.

You would be suprised at the number of women who would be satisfied with just having attention paid to them, breakfast in bed, dinner out, a day to rest while you did the work around the house. Even a night out dancing. Anything is possible....

Has anyone noticed how all of these "--- Days" work? To whom, I ask you, is the appeal (emotional especially) directed? Against whom, I ask you, are the sins of omission heaped so that his wallet becomes further lightened?

@Esq - DANG! What I would give for it to be 40C here, though i live in America where we prefer Fahrenheit, It's about 25F (-4C) Where I live in Ohio, and that's only because we're on a warm day. I just wanna go ride my bike but the roads are in such a bad condition and the wind is like there's a tornado out.

"V-Day?!" When I first read that I had flashbacks to the great tomato war! Vegetable Day was when The Killer Tomatoes attacked the unwitting citizens of our fair country. And they would have succeeded in their triumph hadn't it been for the horrible song "Puberty Love" which made them shrink.

At the FVI (Federal Vegetable Investigations) they mark V-Day with added security measures around produce markets and grocery stores.

So I am glad to hear you were referencing something else.

i love that 74%, FF.

On Valentine's Eve i might be having a little massacre of my own..

I never understood Valentines Day. Single people hate it because it reminds them that they're single....couples hate it because they feel "forced into" showing false signs of romance by buying their partners "novelty underwear" or teddy bears with hearts on them. ff is right, its just another corporate money-making, bank-breaking, extension of the media. I'll proudly stand up and say that I love my soon-to-be-wife any day of the year....I don't understand why showing over-exaggerated affection on one particular day in february is so important.

This year we've agreed to cut the crap - we're going to Pizza Express and are gonna have a nice chilled out meal with a bottle of wine and thats it. No presents, no cards, no "surprise weekends in the country", no expensive jewellery, no product with hearts on it....no point.

As I understand it, that and other days, Fathers day, Mothers day, ect, were used as people got too busy to appreciate the ones they loved. The ONE day set aside for making up for it turned commercial like all holidays unfortunately. Better to show your appreciation all during the year to these folks who give meaning to our lives, but, who takes the time?

Until i read this thread i forgot about Valentines day.

Aint it a two way affair though? What is SHE getting you for Valentines day?

If your married/living together, then she probs does all the housework - so you should do something for her in appreciation (its nice to show it).

However , if you aint livin together, then seeing as guys pay for most stuff the rest of the year, its her turn to shell out on you

bah! I have to shell out AND do the housework and cooking. no-one gets me anything for Vday except a tw*tty card..
