"Valentines Day."

Is it:

A). The perfect time of year to show your love to someone, wether you're in a relationship or not.

B). A complete marketing rip-off designed to make you spend lots of money.

C). Something that only people in relationships need to worry about.



Discuss.

Does this mean she gets the hammer?

It's a `B´, of an `A´, of a `C´, if you get what I mean.

It is a time to express yourself, but it's also a rather "cheap" and commercialised way of doing it. Yet, it is only for people in relationships (after all, you can't really express your love for yourself... Can you??).

I don't want to laugh

My girlfriend left for Amsterdam today. It's my birthday/

She'll be in Paris on Valentines day. I'll be in Cholsey.

Making your own card is one of the best inventions ever. They cost nothing, are always crap, but the girls seem to love 'em. Idiots.

Mine is all attention, lovely duvey old romantic stuff.

Half a dozen red roses from best florist in town, good chocolates and making my own card (which will suck but she'll love the 'thought' or whatever)

Sheepy = genius

I'm in one of the equal relationships, where we have to spend the same amount on each other, or the other partner gets all pissy about it. We both know that Valentine's day is a sham, so we're just getting little things, like a Cd, or a hammer (I already got mine - a Pavement DVD, woohoo!).
