This Is A Gripe Not A Rant
I have managed to be jolly during what should have been the most miserable of Christmases. Happy, when that New Years countdown would have looked like the timer on a bomb to most people. Easter, who could hate the chocolate holiday? Chinese New Year, nothing to do with me but I am happy for those who celebrate it. In the worst of circumstances I always manage to find something good about any celebration day………….except Valenbloodytines day. mention that day to me and………………..
this
Even the most ardent “glass half full” type is allowed one scrooge day a year - this is mine.
And just in case any ghosts are planning to turn up and try and change my mind about this – I’m keeping the golf clubs in the bedroom tonight.
Bah Humbug, Prefectdt.
P.S. A saint got grilled to death so that greetings card companies could con people out of money on Valentines day.
>Extremely well said.
>Perhaps the glass is half full of poison! Either that or the container is twice as big as it needs to be for the amount of liquid contained. Oh well, on to the ink blots…
>Thanks Span King, like the new nickname by the way.Tigerbutt – your only jelous because the voices don’t talk to you (manic laughter that goes on too long)Prefectdt
>Move over on that bench there hortic, I’m joining you. And I AM going to rant! I hate Valentine’s Day and everything that it commercially stands for. One company were charging £200 for a bunch of red roses this year, just so some poor sap can “prove” how much he really loves his girl on this specific day. All couples crammed into tiny spaces in normally good restaurants that have become mediocre and over priced for one evening isn’t my idea of a good night. And if boy gets everything right, boy *might* even be lucky to get a blow job as a reward. What a lot of nonsense. Prostitutes are cheaper.I wish everyone did it like this – pick one random day of the year and spoil the one you love to bits. Then let them return the favour on a different random day. It’s far more romantic than doing it on mass, and if you decide to spend money in the process, it will go a lot further on any other day!
>£200 for a bunch of Roses! at least muggers are honest about what they do.Good idea the random day thing.Prefectdt
>Gods, I hate valentines day. Start with the original story, a tragic death. Then twist that around and make money from it.If someone loves you, they don’t need to spend hundreds on flowers and candies on some presanctioned day to prove it. My wife and I have are happily married, and we both appreciate it when the other does something sweet from their heart, rather than because the display at the mall told them too.Thebes
>Well said WSM. Good relationships come from people not marketing strategies.Prefectdt
