V-Day Corner

A lot has been said on blogs today about the commercialism of Valentine's Day and how it doesn't actually mean anything. I could have posted 1,000 words but I leave you with.......a picture that expresses it all.



If you are going to bother to send roses to a girl in your absence...........................................then 99 is a good round number.

Dear oh Dear, Didn't he learn from the last time....flowers to someone who has allergies...the gut is a fucking slow learner.

Is that it???? Wow he spends $200 on fricken roses. What sort drop kick is this fella....time for the droppa-roo.

Like I said flowers are a very good indicator f a relationship....

First the bloom then the dry up and then they die....finally someone chucks them out.

I'm surprised those roses survived the heat. It's the same here in Thailand, bloody terrible quality roses this time round.

Have to laugh at the commercialisation of it all here. I never knew there were that many ways to flog roses and tacky balloons etc.

From LOOAMA then?

Fascinated to see on the BBC World Service last night that much of Europe's VD roses come from Kenya, which the item said had the world's best weather for growing them.

Giving flowers like that is enough to get your man card taken off you. We have to all stick together - if none of us give flowers then you chicks will stop expecting them. Like a man's union.

Of course, some stupid bugger always undermines the union for a little personal benefit - thinks it will be OK 'just this once' in order to get some valentines nooky. Useless prick that he is.

$800?! Wow, he's desperate.

Or a "rich prick" ((c) 2007 "Dr" Michael Cuntllen).

ha ha - I would take the dirty emails over the flowers :)

Although (and I don't really like roses) - 99 is a pretty good number :)
