It's much nicer to get a surprise on any old day - then it's a real surprise.
I'm sure the brides would love to know what you're really thinking when you greet them with a smile!!!

Lucky you! How jealous am I? 
(In case anyone's wondering - no, I'm not being sarcastic here! I'm serious!) But to get back to the topic: yes, Val Day is a load of nonsense. It's just another day for me.

Good way to spend Valentines- not as good as Tesco's, of course

Why people need to feel obliged to spend money on cards and stuff on one particular day is a load of old shite. If you love someone it probably means more to show them on another day when the advertising industry are not forcing people to expect such things.
It also means that people who don't have partner or have just lost someone close to feel even more upset.
Rant finished. Now calm. Bah humbug
Yes and no.
Yes it's overpriced crap and a scam etc etc etc. But there's nowt wrong with writing her a poem, or just cooking her a nice dinner. And if your partner is the sort who'll strop cos you did that and not spent 7000quid on a couple of red roses...find another partner ;)
Hmmm, Christmas all over again.

We have our fair share of mail order brides and old coots!
Burnin' love:
An activist of the radical Kashmiri Islamic group, Dukhtaran-e-Millat, or daughters of the community, burns a Valentine card outside a card store in central Srinagar, India, Friday, Feb. 10, 2006. Nearly two dozen black-veiled Muslim women burned Valentine's Day cards and posters showing couples together in the main city of India's Kashmir protesting the day that they say imposes Western values on Muslim youth.
"We will not let anyone sell these cards or celebrate Valentine's Day," said Asiya Andrabi, the group's leader, as she held a burning poster in her hand. "These Western gimmicks are corrupting our kids and taking them away from their roots."
She said that the raids were carried out "not to harm anyone but to make them realize that this is against Islam's teachings."
