We don't do VD.
Got married on Feb 9th in 2002, so we do that instead.
Same day Princess Margaret died.
Had our reception at the Naval & Military Club (The IN & OUT). Probably half the blokes there had, errrrrr, been 'aquainted' with her. Much "sorrow" and drinking downstairs!

I never buy flowers I think that is totally and completely a waste of money if you are going to buy something I think it should be something that lasts. Flowers can be found anywhere and I think it means more when you have to go hunting and gathering to supply them rather than pulling out the wallet.

I was enjoying the flowery thread with only the guys chatting on it
I think Valentines Day is too commercial, hate the hype about it, but would never say no to a bouquet of flowers.
Was in Paris a few years ago on VD, and no hype over there!!

Hi All,

Years ago I was in the habit of plucking a few flowers from someones front garden, while I was enroute to see my Sweetie. This went on for quite some time.

One evening there was a shout "Hey you!" An Italian saw me and chased me. I was quite fit and made an easy escape. It shook me up a little but still continued the practice.

These days I don't present my Sweetie with flowers on Valentine's Day. I give her a flower or two every week. Purchased ones. Too much excitment to acqire them the old way

Cheers Marty

I don't need Feb 14th to tell Alice that I love her, she gets surprises during the year when I feel like making a special time for her.

Valentines day is nothing more than a cash grab from the florists.

Leon
