Mr Velvet is of the opinion that it is all a commercial ripoff so lucky old me gets sweet nothing every year… this goes for easter anniversarys and xmas too… he’s such a giving soul and im lucky if i get a birthday card
…..and he’s 100% absolutely right!!! Valentine’s Day is a total commercial ripoff solely designed to make women feel good about themselves and feel wanted.
Men are in essence blackmailed into splurging out on stupid gifts at inflated prices with the threat of “You don’t really love me any more” if they choose to be frugal. This is of course before the ‘refusal to copulate’ card is played.
So, in their untiring search for ever more fornication, men are ripped off vast amounts of hard-earned cash and all in the name of St Valentine.
So then PB, have you decided yet what your buying for senior management, or still unsure :lol: :wink: 8)
Well I tried to buy some old & very cheap Valentine’s cards at Matalan last year – but the tight fisted locals got them all before me. Hmmmm
Senior management isn’t the problem – she’s Italian and they don’t do Valentine’s Day there. The big problem is my daughter. SHE literally demands a card from her Daddy – and how can I refuse???
I refuse to go out for dinner (see above reasons) so I shall prepare a ‘bumper’ meal for supper and then sit back all smug & self-satisfied secure in the knowledge that my ‘Brownie point’ score has been added to and I’ve saved loads of money into the bargain.
I call that a ‘win win’.

Exactly!!! Women are never even slightly grateful for the small kindnesses shown to them.
(It’s the thought that counts ….. UNLESS your gift is not seen as being sufficiently expensive!!!)
27 January, 2010 at 10:27 am #429546Well PB you seem to know what we women like and should get so just do it!! :lol:
27 January, 2010 at 12:35 pm #429547Valentines day should be forgotten about once the spots and acne clear and you start growing some pubes.
27 January, 2010 at 5:59 pm #429548Oh, and another thing.. Women claim they enjoy receiving anonymous cards.. Well, i thought I’d go that extra mile, make more of an effort, and made some anonymous calls.. Think they appreciated it?.. NO, they sued me for harrassment!! :lol:
