The violets have faded
The roses are dead
Just like the corpse,
I have in my bed! :shock:

There was a time when I used to present the obligatory bunch of red roses to demonstrate my undying love; when I would entertain the object of my affections to a dinner in a ‘nice’ restuarant ….. but no more. With age comes knowledge – and I have learnt a lot over the years.

My usual inner cynic tells me that, as I am now married to her, I needn’t go to all this trouble to ‘win her over’. Fortunately she isn’t a ‘high maintenance’ wife.

But the real reason is far more prosaic. I am simply sick and tired of being ripped off.

Buy a modest bunch of roses during the rest of the year and they’ll cost you anywhere between £3.99 and say £10. Buy the same bunch of roses for Valentine’s Day and they’ll start at £20 and go up from there.

Restuarants are pretty much the same. The “special Valentine’s Day” menu – which differs little from the regular menu – will cost you considerably more that you’d pay at any other time of the year.

They rarely if ever increase the numbers of waiting staff to cope with a full house, so service standards are reduced to almost non-existent. The result is that you spend bloody hours over an indifferent meal in an over-crowded restuarant, served lukewarm by stressed out staff and end up paying over the odds for the privilege.

To add insult to injury, you spend your evening surrounded by spotty faced youths desperately trying to impress this week’s girlfriend, with little if any chance of success, being served by bad tempered staff and the ultimate indignity – being ripped off by the management.

As always, I shall prepare a superb supper for us both (and my little daughter), prepared just the way she likes it; washed down with a chilled bottle of her favourite wine; and we shall stroll next door to the sitting room with a cup of Espresso coffee and maybe a nightcap, and settle down for a pleasant peaceful evening uninterrupted by lovesick youths mooning over each other.

The very fact that a women knows dinner, flowers chocolates etc.are produced at an exorbitant inflated price on valentines day makes the receiving of them so much more pleasurable. It proves that even if deep down she knows your a tight grumpy old git you havent become complacent, take her for granted and still want to keep the romance alive.

Men just don’t get it!

Ok we bought the chocolates ages ago the flowers WERE from a garage and we didnt suggest we’d cook a lovely meal cause were romantic buggers at heart

Women just dont get it !

i love your smile, your face, your eyes,
damn i’m good at telling lies! :lol:

Is that the best you could come u with for lil ole me Pete????
