before the usual war of 'it's not worth it', 'overpriced', 'commercialised rubbish' etc comes about. was anyone swept of thier feet, given great things or worshipped for the day? Are there any romantics out there today?

no, I don't think so
My colleagues always worship me. They don't get paid if they don't.

But then you knew that?!
I got the 50 variety box of Jelly Belly beans! Woohoo! And some lovely soaps, candles, bubble baths, a statue called Promise and ..... was generally spoilt.
Rod got a one fifth scale radio controlled Ducati, you know the one where the rider hangs off round the corners!
Only trouble is we haven't used it yet as it's a bit of a psychotic thing inside the house, and we nearly decapitated the rider on the kitchen table so we are waiting for it to stop raining so we can go and use the road outside!
What did you get Kylie and Priscilla?

Of Course! But then you knew that?!
No I didn't.
What did you get Kylie and Priscilla?
Kylie got looked at through the dirty kitchen window as always.
Priscilla got screwed and her nobs twiddled before being ridden round the block a few times.
I on the other hand got absolutely nothing as usual. :thumbsdown:
May I rant about the disgusting commercialisation of this day now?:scratch:
My view is simply that if you like someone you don't need a designated day to show it. :thumbsdown:

Well, you didn't think he'd forget did you?
And Cassiopia, not too much damage I hope? But you're right, not very romantic no.

Now this will pout your faith back in humanity :thumbsup: - yesterday, said Valentines day, I took the CBR400 out for an after winter let's blow all the cobwebs off ride and TOTALLY forgot to check my fuel...So - there I am blatting aroundin Hertfordshire on some rather nice and abandoned roads when I look down and see 127 miles on the tacho - ooooohhhhh nooooooh - that's already 7 miles more than I have ever got out of the tank..:on: :on: :on:
Well, predictably I just manage to limp onto the A414 to Harlow (at least there are cars and not cows there) and come to an unceremonious stop about 2 miles out of town... :thumbsdown:
Picture this - paddling along the road to reach a downy downy bit and this car pulls up behind me - a ford something or other and outsteps LOVELY LOVELY man who asks "what up?" - joins in my frustration - tells me he's a biker too and takes me the 3 miles to Sainsburys and back to my bike cluthcing my little can of petrol!!!!!!!:hail: :yoparty:
Didn't catch his name - but he's just bought an M900 dark to strip down and beautify - so I gave him my e mail address and the UKMOC website and told him if I ever see him again the beer's on me!!! He's also got a VFR, drives a black Mondeo (think it was one of those) and supervises lots of building sites and he's Italian - that's all I know about him but he was my angel on Valentines day yesterday!!!! What a nice heart warming story - and it's true!!! Not everyone is out for themselves and I just thought this might make PD smile too - knowing his near terminal deep distrust of humanity - which in general I share!!!!!:o
Apart from that I got a card and the world's most abhorrently fantastic heart shaped balloon with butterflies poking out of it - we have this yearly competition for the best bad taste helium artifact and Jenny won - again!!!

Yay! Yay for dark strangers helping out in a petrol crisis!
How could you forget to put fuel in?
I don't understand that.
Oh yes....I do.
benson
15-02-2006, 09:56 AM
I just didn't even think Nonnie - I was so excited that the bike started first time and it wasn't raining that I just went out - there's no fuel light on the bike, and I didn't register that there were already 70 miles showing on the trip (which means I have about another 50 left...) and a VERY very small reserve tank....which fortunatley got me to the main road!!!!:scratch:

Meanwhile I'm just going to the haridressers, IKEA and a friend's for supper today so I should be safe enough!!!!:p

Are you going to Ipswich today? Don't forget to PUT FUEL IN. Ah just read above post. Have fun. I really must visit the hairdressers this year. It's all getting a bit scruffy up there.

No - Dave didn't sound like he wanted company so I thought I'd leave it for another day...

Oh, I generally just turn up, insist on him making coffee, I never thought I might not actually be wanted there!:cry:

Aha - so that's what I should have done!!!! Never mind, another day.:fou:
What a genuinly nice gentleman. How typical that he was from southern Europe? That's the kind of everyday love for one another that should be promoted.

purchased a city guide to Paris for Mrs dog (the trip was a crimbo present).
Most ahhhh moment of the day was watching my 11yr old son spend 2 hours after school making a card and a heart trinket then asking me to drop, then extract him in a commando stylee at the home of the girl he fancies.
It brought a reminiscent tear to my eye as I watched him creep up to the front door with his heart in his mouth (and possibly on his sleeve) as she studied in the, er, study. I felt his panic as he couldn't get the hand decorated trinket and it's wrapping through the letterbox. Then I laughed myself silly as I honked the horn furiously then drove away leaving him on the drive as the house lights came up.
Emoitional scarring anyone?

Yes that is truly awful. Bad Dog bad Dog
My oldest (girl 11) wanted to drop off a card and a wrapped Galaxy bar to a boy in her class who lives in the village. Previously, she has asked her friend to ask him if he wants to go out with her but he said no, frankly, I don't understand that as she is gorgeous and there must be something wrong with him but anyway, I said Why do you want to give him a chocolate bar when he says he doesn't want to go out with you? She says, Mum, honestly? It's a push in the right direction!!! Ha ha!
She cycled up the road with Rod yesterday to hand over the packages, she wouldn't knock on the door and just left them on the door step then she cycled off so fast she got home long before Rod, said Rod is SOOOOO slow Mum. Rod gets back and says My God, is she here? I lost her!
I would never have been as brave as her that's for sure.

I just spent five minutes crying with laughter and another 5 minutes trying to explain to my boss why there's tea all over my keyboard!! That has to be one of the funniest things I've heard in ages. Nice one Desmo. My kids are still at the age where they humiliate me every day so I'm taking notes for the day of my revenge. :hail:

Made me laugh too...................................
Reminds me of a disgusting tale I heard a while ago:
A very good friend of mine, who sadly passed away 2 years ago, went away with the boys to some Med hot spot. They'd all been having the banter with a load of lads from Yorkshire. On my mates last night there, he and the rest of the motley crew went on a final bender all dressed in togas. When they arrived back at the hotel, a little worse for wear, they proceeded to the Yorkies room to leave a calling card before their departure. My mate decided the best calling card would be to leave a juicy turd outside their door, to which he started to 'drop'. On realising what he was doing the rest of the crew then started to bang on the door and shouting as loud as they could, to my mate's utter horror.
I wish I could of seen him waddling up the foyer THAT night. The dirty sod!!!
God rest his soul................:hail:

Mate, you have to get them while you can. I'm saving up my dad dancing for when they're really old enough to "appreciate" it. Meanwhile, you should see their faces when I wear my pink Hawian shirt.
Nonnie, could it be that Rod was so far behind because he stopped to eat the chocolate first? I know I would.
Stevie, that's just wrong!:roger:

Embarrassing the teenagers, you have found my favourite hobby. :chuckle:
Nice one Mr. Dog, he will thank you one day!

Because she wants to make him fat and spott, women can be evil in revenge.
Nonnie and Benson - i am always happy to take visitors, put kettles on etc. I don't get a lot of visitors ;) (where's the violin smilie when you need it) Benson's words were i have the afternoon off and meeting a friend for supper, i didn't think it was worth coming all the way to ipswich to watch me fiddle with a bike for 10 mins and ride 5 miles if that for a coffee. I did say however that I can't stop you so if you are feeling you missed out on a coffee it's not my fault. Should i put the kettle on now :gromit:
Oh and benson, did i ever tell you the story of the WSB weekend of mine a few years ago, involving a petrol shortage, a loan bike, a pillion, and lost key, a wedding, a generous rich man, a boiling hot day, and svereal other key factors... :D
benson
15-02-2006, 02:58 PM
No PD you didn't but it sounds like it's a good story! Meanwhile I've just been to have my haircut and am feeling much lighter around the ears!!
I'll more than likely be up your way in the next few weeks so you can stick the kettle on then - hopefully we might even have some spring like weather!!!
meanwhile hope all is well with screwing and tweaking and everything else,
bon vacances (we;re off to France tomorrow to visit some friends...)
