Maybe we should adopt some special days from other cultures like:

Afghanistans: Stone your wife to death day.

Saudi Arabias: Hold another mans hand day.Oh sorry that's every day!

Thailands: Shoot a pingpongball across the room day.

Scotlands: Start a fight in a pub day.(most weekends)

Australias: Whinge about the rugby day. Usually everytime they play the Allblacks!

You get the picture see if you can come up with some more fun days to enjoy in our little multiracial haven!!!!

I see where your coming from, but do you celebrate birthdays? I don't see much of a difference....?

Special days are important, even if they're just a bit of fun and just something out of the ordinary. I agree completely though that Valentines is commercial, which is why I never buy flowers or any of that, and also why I shamelessly stole MDU's great idea - it costs nothing but means shedloads more than a box of roses.

And if I type any more of this lovey sentimental bollocks then I'm going to hurl chunks......

it's commercial crap along with xmas,only 2 days matter her birthday and anniversary,as i maintain the words "i love you" at least once a day/ 52weeks means more than money can by,i may buy a card,she goes to opposite though at times buying stuff for me,i just piss her off and buy her stuff on another normal day,i don't need to be told by some dickhead to buy pressies because it's pc to do so,favourite saying to her is "you complete me"on my vows before that wanker tom dickhead said in film jerry mcquire

I just gave my opinion as I think col mentioned some female input. Doesn't mean i'm right by any means.

Re celebrations - we don't celebrate birthdays, christmas ,valentines , we
sometimes do the wedding anniversay thing. Its mainly cos we resent commercial pressure.

But we do make an exception and make an effort for our neices and nephews birthdays and christmas - as it is rather magical for them.

My missus likes roses, so decided to buy her a whole bush (should keep me covered for a while), plus she knows if she kills it I wont have a source for future years

Hopefully she wont read this, the real reason I'm buying the bush is to replace the one I accidently killed (roundup does kill weeds AND plants), just happens to be the 14th she gets it ...
