Devil 1,179 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Not sure everyone does Valentines day around the world but all the British based members will know well the pressures of today. Do we all do it or do we think it's another money spinning day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,379 Posted February 14, 2023 Administrator Share Posted February 14, 2023 Commercialised gimmick. Missus gets a card, that's it. As agreed. She doesn't really like it either so we don't get gifts for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinho 2,210 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Usually get her something small (haha yes my penis) but I spent this Valentine’s Day in bed sick. So not very romantic at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 We never go all out. I just always will grill some nice filets, stream some crab, and a veggie, and we just enjoy a nice dinner at home. This year I went a little crazy and got her a card and wrote her a rather lengthy letter that just goes over the past 12 years that we've been together.

Seriously now though, that is funny, because I'm usually the one being very smiley when I meet and greet people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has virtually known you for a decade, I can honestly say you are a generally happy person, especially as we have grown older.

Yea, I think I've had an identity crisis until not that many years ago. But it has gotten a lot better lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rucksackfranzose 4,371 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Wasn't even mentioned in the German speaking countries until very recently, same with Halloween. Pisses me off, how enterprises think they needed to implement all, in this case first and foremost commercial, traditions from English speaking countries on us. Even more so, when seeing that indigene comparable (to Halloween) traditions like Hexennacht and children's carnival singing begging tours are dying out.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted February 15, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted February 15, 2023 Me and the wife don't bother about it nowadays, maybe when we first got hitched but that was 40-odd years ago, that (Valentine's Day) is a ghost from the past.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,555 Posted February 15, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted February 15, 2023 Early on in relationships I think its more common here but it varies alot. I dont partake, the future Mrs doesnt care either. I prefer to get her flowers when shes had a down week or a tough day, I dont need a commercialized day to do it tbh.

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted February 15, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted February 15, 2023 The government gave us some laughs this Valentines Day. The agricultural ministry put a notice out that it was national hug a cow day. Then the internet did it's business, oh my did it do its business. Then they redacted the notice two days before valentines day. The internet of course didn't stop doing its business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other posts but not in English and it really wouldn't hit the same. Although the cows in all those posts really did most of the hitting anyways.
