The intrigue/romance of this has been completely swept away by commercail bollocks. twenty years ago you were able to buy witty, cleverly worded, cards which did not all say whom they were for, and send them (unsigned) to ladies for a laugh and a starter for ten. Now there is a card for every relative, ALL cards are garish pink, stupidly expensive, and somehow they have succeeded in making it seem like an obligation to send one to the wife. nb) not sure exactly how Blair is to blame for this but I'm sure I will come up with an angle

Call me old fashioned but I booked a table for me and the Mrs last night. Then the fight started as she hates snooker.

I bought my missus some crotchless panties and nipple clamps. She hated them.
Actually when I said my missus I meant your missus. And she fucking loved them

Thus turning it into the expensive chore we all know and hate today. It was much better in 1996. Come to think of it, I could get the hang of this line of thinking, it's a hell of a lot easier

It's not something I've ever been really interested in ....not since I started to use Sterident in the late 70's.
