Registered 13 years agoThese people scare me but can apparently convince your missus it's ok for you to go to the match on Valentine's Day.
If you are forced into commercially decreed displays of affection, then maybe promote this day as payback.
Still think the best thing to do is to go out with a dyslexic girl who thinks it's Vaseline Day.
/hates Valentines Day, aside from that one in 2007 which was rather lovely, delivery man embarrassment aside. -
I've never ever done anything for valentines day, even when I've been in a relationship. \0/ -

My mum still does, and has always denied having anything to do with it. This year she put a scratchcard in.
Bless her, I used to be embarrassed about it but now I just think it's sweet. -

Yes. I am single, bitter and ever so slightly annoyed (actually, no, I am ENRAGINGLY annoyed) of seeing 'the love in the air' everywhere I go today.
Why should a couple be nice to each other for one day instead of everyday? And WHY do I read newspapers with 'famous' people telling us what they will be doing on the day!
WE ALL KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO FUCK EACH OTHER UNTIL YOU ARE DRY!!
You are not going to have a nice breakfast in bed or go to a fancy restaurant that floats halfway between the sky and the ground... If I was famous, I'd say it like it is.
"Valentine's Day...? I'll be fucking my girlfriend/wife all day long. Next stupid question please." -

That's an awfully sticky situation to find yourself in... -
Roses are bloody expensive. I knew they would cost a bit, but I asked for a bouquet of roses today and she disappears and comes back with a dozen roses all nicely arranged. Eighty quid please. £80. My face actually dropped. Usually to avoid embarrassment and not to look cheap I would make up some bullshit excuse and lie about coming back 'just going to ponder it'. But I was just like, eh, what the fuck!?!! Decided to save face and just ask for a half dozen instead, which still cost a lot, but it meant the tears weren't as heavy on the way home. Then went past morrisons and found a similar looking bunch for a tenner ;_; -

Please let us know how it goes. -
"So you think I'm a hippo? I've put on weight and this is your way of telling me? Sponsoring a fucking hippo to tell me how disgusted you are with how fat I've got? You must really hate me if you think this is funny. It's not my fault I've put on weight, eating is the only satisfaction I get from this relationship. You are the worst boyfriend ever. I hate you. Oh and btw, I slept with your brother."
Hopefully it won't end up like this fella

Registered 15 years agoThey actually had a giraffe, but it looked sinister. She does like that one Eddie Izzard sketch, though.
The actual reason is the movie Indecent Proposal. At the end Woody Harrelson gets Demi Moore back after selling her to a millionaire by spending all his money on a hippo. We watched it together and my GF told me that would always be my get-out clause: buying a hippo.
We got together on valentine's day last year so this is actually our anniversary. The hippo is an apology for not having come up with a better present.
As I said: could go really well, could go really fucking badly. -
