Valentine's Day. Never done it, never will.
Hateful, hateful shit. Buy someone flowers on a wet Tuesday in October because you feel like it. Take them for for dinner on a sunny Thursday in July because it feels like a good idea. Do the duvet disco with them at half six on a Saturday morning, because you can. Tell them you love them whenever you want to because, well, you love them.
Not this shit, though.
You'd be a dead man if you forgot though !
U OK hun?
Don’t do it then.
Agreed. Contrived rubbish.
Agreed and Wifey agrees
You can keep your negativity to yourself - for some of us married Chaps it’s one of the few chances for a mid-week leg-over we get.
I feel OP has fancy slow closing runners on his kitchen drawers. As such, slamming one’s plums in them, while somewhat impactful, would be fairly pleasurable.

FTFY
I'm on bloody night shift until Friday, when the wife goes away for the weekend. Someone's getting lucky, but it won't be me.
I'm going to my girlfriend's for a slube night.
This involves filling a bathtub with water, adding a powder and turning the water into sex lube. Then getting in, having sex, doing forward rolls and laughing a lot.
Supposedly pizza too but not sure about the order there
Yet you’re happy for your employers to make money selling millions of cards for this special day. You great stinking hypocrite. 😃
Got to agree with CFH on this.
What a media driven drivel of a day.
Love yourself, snog your partner, hug your family's..
Love is for giving.
😍😘🤩🤪
Jamie wins the retort.. 👍☄️
Another money making day. We have Valentines day every day in this house, no cards/chocolates & all the fancy shite, just a bit of love & affection.
I know she loves me & she knows I love her.
(wer'e both 61 so wev'e done all that crap)
"Love yourself, snog your partner, hug your family’s.."
Hug your family's what?
Can’t say we’ve ever bothered, we buy each other a humours car though just to keep people in not so fancy shoes.
I’m not angry Flashy, i’m just dissapointed
*bursts into tears*
I love valentines. It's fabby. Mostly as I always remember and she always forgets, and I get to watch her run about in a bit of a panic, which makes me laugh.
Revenge Valentines...It's the way forward.
Binners,
0630hrs, Saturday morning. Your face or mine?
Valen-what now?
Valen-what now?
Valen-what is the day before valen-whine, where folk make comment about what a con valentines day is, before declaring how happy they are during the year that they don't need to participate in such blatant marketing drivel. I mean, have you seen how much they hike up the price of flowers?!
The wife doesn't care either apparently, but deep down you know it would be nice to buy her something on that day so she can join in with the event; sure you hate the day but you love her, so here's big ol' bunch of roses and a card love. But NO! Don't join,you'll be a fool to the marketing con!
..and then spend many thousands of pounds on a thing to sit on and pedal because it has mildy different geometry, or £1k on fancy led day-running lights and £500 on a laptop to look at BBC news.
Meh 🙂
If it wasn’t for the text that M&S sent Mrs FD and I we would have been oblivious to it
Or a watch or even pen.
CFH you need to find the Simpsons Trash of the Titans episode on YouTube or NetFlix or something. It all centres around the environmental impact of "love day". That'll cheer you up tomorrow (maybe!).
Egregious gender facism and fiscal manipulation by the phalloplutocrats, subjugating their diminutives into thrusting what little disposable seedcorn they can muster into the pockets of the familiars.
Got the missus some tulips.
I think this Valentines day is going to be like all the others. She get home from work and says she hasn't bought me a card then makes sure I haven't bought one for her. I have of course, I always do. The card will be on the kitchen worktop when she gets up in the morning, she feels guilty and buys me a card in the day. We've been going through this routine for 35 years.
Bit of a weird one this year as been seeing someone for a few weeks and not sure what the etiquette is...
Last few years were in a long term unhappy relationship with so minimum effort cheap flowers and card was easy.
I don't know what the problem is. Pop into tesco, get card flowers and chocolates and its easy brownie points, I don't even have to think. And I can't go wrong cos no matter how shit it all is, it will be more than she's done for me. And thats ok cos I don't really care, all I wanted was the easy brownie points.
I bought Mrs ws some champagne, I like champagne, especially whilst sitting 8n the dirty sex pool, plus it was on offer due to above mentioned day. It's a win win really. Love you all x
Got pancake day & valentines day mixed up this year. Hot fat stings a bit!
It's our 11th wedding anniversary on the 17th and my birthday on the 24th. In 2008, Mrs pandhandj forgot valentine's, anniversary and birthday all in the space of 10 days.
Thats a lifetime of ammunition for me 🙂
Yeah but the maple syrup makes it worthwhile.
Hell yeah ..(to the day .. not slamming my plums in the kitchen drawer)
I'm often told that I'm the most unromantic person in the world ..and despite the hype / cost and whatever other negativity you can think of ..this day seems to matter to my good lady and for that reason I'm in..
She already knows that I love her ..but if the card , flowers ( tulips ..not roses) & bottle of bubbly reaffirm that and make her happy ..then I'm happy too 💘
Cap'n the NHS will do a vasectomy under local if you don't want any more kids. Using the kitchen cabinet drawers is not necessary.
Roses are red
Succulents are odd
Cheer the **** up
You miserable sod.
A nice card, a bottle of 15 year old Dalwhinnie and extra pudding.
I see no problem.
Got the missus some tulips.
Hoping for the same in return?
Thanks for the heads up totally forgot!!
I always get two cards on Valentines Day.
It’s my birthday! 😎
We celebrate it on March 17th.
There is a reason.
a lot of it is rubbish but then there are cards like this:

I have my missus the best present ever - I went away for work and left her alone for the night.
my wife is away and I have a plumber coming round this evening.
I'm not even joking.
Slam him repeatedly in the kitchen drawer.
