Love it or hate it?

I just worked out I've been single for 18 months and have only ever been with someone on valentines day once 8O

so now I'm all depressed on a wednesday :cry:

So I've voted hate it

(p.s. what are you all doing on valentines day, I want to know where you couples are so I can come and throw poo at you)
 
Don't love it but don't hate it either - I'll have to exercise my right not to vote on this one.

What am I doing with the husband? Getting completely wasted at Trade of course!...Might also go for a romantic meal at Noodle King afterwards if we can stomach food - which is very doubtful.
 
Valentine's day doesn't exist in my place, we celebrate lover's day 23rd April, St George.
Now 14th february is quite commercial and more common, but it's a very "modern" thing and it's so evident that it's a colonisation from the anglosaxon world and a marketing strategy that most people doesn't bother about it, at least people around me :D

He's one of those people that just isn't into cliched dates of celebration...I'm the opposite actually - I love the commercial cheese most of the time.

I suppose I could surprise him with it, he'd probably quite like that one.

Where does the tradition come from and who celebrates it?

Oh goody! Are you coming to Trade then? I'll look out for the poo! ;)

don't think I'm going to go, unless I get an urge at about 3am and get a bus down from here :lol: and then a taxi to turnmills...

going to a friend's birthday party instead :? which should be fun. Lots of old uni friends so will probably just get ridiculously drunk and act like a loon all night, which I've not actually done for aaaaaaaages and I do miss it.

(but then I do want to go to trade and throw poo at you and the husband :twisted: hmm...)

I'd have thought you'd be out in your St Georges cross t-shirt and flag on St Georges Day :lol: :lol:
 
I quite like it, it's just an excuse to go out for a fancy meal and drink lots of champagne and wine, not that I ever need one :lol:

I never actually go out on Valentines Day night proper cos restaurants are rubbish, you get lumbered with a set menu, a 2 hour time-slot and bad service, if we do go out we go the wkend before or after.

So for us we're having early Valentines meal at J Sheekeys (my fave-ist restaurant in the whole wide world) on Sunday night and then Tuesday Tom can rustle up something in the kitchen for us while I'm on drinks duty :lol:

you're always a bit 'middle of the road' aren't you sarah :roll:
 
It's Saint George day, the tradition (very very very old) says that every girls should get a red rose from their lover, altho now a days you get also roses from bosses, banks, supermarkets, etc.
It's also the anniversary of Cervantes and Shakespeare death (or birth), so another tradition (not that old) says that every boy should get a book from their lover.

It's a very nice day, the streets are full of booths (¿?) selling roses and books, lots of writers sign books in the streets and it's the un-official start of the good weather. One of my fav days of the year :D

BTW, it's a catalan tradition, but I think you do see red roses and lots of books around Spain that day. But it's catalan
 
I love it if I get cards and presents lol.

I've been with Jon for 5.5years so every year since 2001 I've been treated (albeit once to a pair of socks and a curry :roll: ), then before that I was at school, and I know in years 10/11 I got a few Valentines cards from mystery admirers 8O (normally spotty boys in year 7 :lol: ). Before that though I guess I must have been a bit of an ugly duckling because I never used to get any :( and I remember feeling really down on Valentines day. It's even harder at 13 and all your mates have got cards/chocolates!
