martinmac Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Who said shipping companies dont have a sense of humour..... from memory, nearly everyone. Sounds like another massacre Quote
sl114 Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Why do you need one day to show you love someone? I never understand this! Quote
Lexx Posted January 29, 2008 Author Posted January 29, 2008 You may not understand it, I may not understand it, but every woman seems to think its the be all and end all of romantic dates! Quote
martinmac Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Why do you need one day to show you love someone? I never understand this! Think it must be a woman thing, personally I dont bother. Flowers twice a year for no reason are much more welcomed, now Liz accepts I havent done anything Quote
sl114 Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 You may not understand it, I may not understand it, but every woman seems to think its the be all and end all of romantic dates!Not mine, its the middle of the week, we are 83.2 miles apart and i am moving into my new place soon. Therefore Val day is nothing but another day. Saying that i am getting a load of flowers delivered to her office on the 14th and showering her in champaign and chocolate the weekend before Quote
Zedrush Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Totally forgot about V day Ill call up big Phil see if he can suggest something for me to get her... hmm perhaps some tein springs or performance friction pads for my car, think she will like that Quote
H5 Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Get booking a weekend away before Valentines day and say it was the only time you could get the hotel you wanted. Follow it up with suggesting a night in with takewaway and whatever for the day and then tell her a few days before that you have to go away and that you can still do the night in on the 13th.....

Zedrush Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 LexxD, take it from a wise man... aka me... here is what I would do, Wake up in the morning Valentines day, lean over to her, give her a kiss, tell her you love her, and then say Im just quickly popping out, wait right here and ill be back with a big surprise... get changed, get on the plane to the states... chat up the stewardess... Get off the plane... give her a call on her mobile phone... when she answers say... SURPRISE !!!! Im in America... happy valentines Then put the phone down and pray you got a place to come back too... Thats what id do, works everytime... honest try it Quote

rmmackfc Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Just another day, take her out at the weekend. In saying that why can't she take you out, why is it the mans responsibility! Quote
H5 Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Just another day, take her out at the weekend. In saying that why can't she take you out, why is it the mans responsibility! It's a leap year, you need to be careful of that!! Quote
bronzee Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Why do you need one day to show you love someone? I never understand this! Because the retailers have beaten us into thinking we must, just on this one particular day, so they can line their pockets. It should be 24/7. Quote
bobby Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 dude....take her out the night before you fly out...and make it a special valentines night in advance...that way you can let the news out the next day and do a runner...still have a place to come back to...you score brownie points for bein sensitive...and best of all..you still get the lonely stewardess on valentines day!!!
