Valentines day - Card or no card..
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 4:51 pmWhether its me growing older and therefore more cynical day by day i wouldnt want to divulge...but please can someone tell me the reason why arguments break out across the nation, because somebody's partner forgot/chose not to buy their other half a recycled piece of stupidly written cardboard costing upwards of, oh...well, the sky's the limit i suppose. £5? £10...one of them all singing all dancing musical ones with a 'pillow' on it reaching the £20 quid mark in a box? Bollox!!
an absolute rip-off
I can cope with Birthdays, even Chrimbo....but ffs! how many fricking 'cards' do we need to fork out for over the calendar year. Its madness. (of course i wont be getting my leg over, as a direct result!) but hey, who needs to bother going through the motions of sex when you have an Xbox to play with all night....
Dont get me wrong, the missus has been well courted from the off. And somewhat showered with trinkets for years now. (What other fella shells out £2025 on a Platinum engagement ring right?)
But me and cards...i tell you, i dont see the point. You're better off going on the market and buying a pack of 20 plain ones and using your own creativity to make a statement, if thats all its about. And dont tell me its romantic..who can be ar5ed with all that when you get to my age.
She will get the usual 12 Long stems in a box and thats it. F**k trawling into Town now to visit Clintons, only to come out without neither the shirt on my back, nor the eyes in my head! all for the sake of someone going...."Ah its lovely...."
Go on call me rotten and miserable!! (its the same with Mothers day. If i knew i weren't going to get a clout round the earole, id skip them an all)
