For my Valentine........

[h0ughy]

Well guys and Gals, what have you bought, done or organised for your loved one.........(read into this what you will, I bought some astro gear;) ).

I have a lovely cooked dinner lined up for the wife, and a spray of flowers and a foot massage, so i can watch the cricket when she falls asleep:wink2:

Kath's birthday yesterday, and our 1month wedding anniversary today as well... So a triple wammy for me.

[ving]

Short version - something to do with a gangster massacre in Chicago, courtesy Al Capone

...and liquor....

Some candy, a "cute" card and some "fancy" jewelry with our children's birthstones involved somehow...did I mention a 15 mm TV plossl (for her too of course)...

Sorry don't believe in it. Just more commercial garbage to steal your astronomy dollars away. :lol: Come in spinner!

I got flowers for Valentines day once.
When Greg was working for Ansett, he took the flowers off all the meal trays and bought them home to me.
He's a real classy bloke my husband.

Neither of us follow this commercial tradition. We reckon you can say I love you any or every day of the year.:love:

[Striker]

I bought the wife a SAC4.2 and a Card....lol

This is what I just got home to...what a wife....I hope she doesn't want me to cook.

[h0ughy]

Didn't St Valentine own a telescope? 1 point

[h0ughy]

I think our partners deserve Better, that's why we must insist on Naglers next year! On another note I added liquorish to the flowers, she likes it!

[Astroman]

By the looks of the plate you might have to, unless you like rose petals

[h0ughy]

does this mean you are really a frog!;)

[Kieken]

I did nothing today. I sorta moved it to a vacation or something like that. It's rather imossible to cook on school you know ;).

[ving]

I see no one has achieve a full 5 points! ;)
:P

[h0ughy]

no we are just dumb to the truth! Please tell all

[ving]

I dont know either and rarely pay attention to valentines day, which is actually saint valentines day cause aparently he is a saint... I one looked ti up because a kid came in with a school project on it, but have since forgotten 90% of it because it is of little importance and/or interest :)

people should show their love every day not just on one day that some american tradition dictates. :)

[matt]

Well .... Vinga...

No wonder you're such a hit wit da ladies;)

Of course, you're absolutely right. But it is unfortunate how so many folk, both XX and XY, need a day like yesterday to remind them to be nice to each other for at least one day in the year:lol:

Keep in mind we live in a society where they're seriously looking at instituting simple common kindnesses like "please" and "thank you" at schools:shrug:

[ving]

dont think i have been called "vinga" before :P

yeah the chicks dig me ;)

[matt]

there's a first time for everything, mate.

embrace the new:)

Like Robby, I had a double whammy. HRH Liz has her birthday on 13th, but I still had flowers delivered to her workplace and she surprised me with a box of chocolate coated ginger. :D
