For my Valentine........

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

Sorry don't believe in it. Just more commercial garbage to steal your astronomy dollars away. 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.

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!

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.

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

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
