Re: Valentines Day
 

We have done ours a little earlier ...., I game bought him a pair of carbon wheels for his race bike, he has bought me flights to UK and Portugal to see my BFFs :)

Re: Valentines Day
 

Working

Re: Valentines Day
 

I will most likely cook a yummy meal:)

Re: Valentines Day
 

I won't hahahahahaha ;) Actually I might try, (if he's home) I think he'd REALLY appreciate the effort :) The word yummy might be a stretch though.

Re: Valentines Day
 

Some posh French gaff HID wants to go as apparently she's "sick of me trying to suggest Nando's, the Keg or the Falafel King." :(

Re: Valentines Day
 

I like Pita Pit.. And Panda kebab is good!

Re: Valentines Day
 

I meant Koala not Panda!!!

Re: Valentines Day
 

Thanks for the heads up, I'm indebted :o

Re: Valentines Day
 

Yeah right because the abundance of plastic hearts in the shops hadn't smacked you square on in the kisser already ;)

Re: Valentines Day
 

Ah, young love. :wub:

Re: Valentines Day
 

Was hoping to punt the Cuba trip off as covering my arse for a Valentines gift as well but she doesn't seem to be wearing it - might have to splurge out for a couple of Big Mac meals :)

Re: Valentines Day
 

thanks for reminding me, I have been successfully ignoring it for 50 years

Re: Valentines Day
 

Happy overpriced flowers and chocolates day.

Re: Valentines Day
 

My mother in law always send me a Valentine card. I find that highly disturbing.

I shall probably have to find something for my missus though. I'm tending towards a Home Depot gift card. In a pretty box, natch.

Re: Valentines Day
 

We're playing "Cupid in a Kilt", a selection of Scottish and Irish love songs for fellow Celts with my husband on guitar, banjo, mandolin and harmonica and me on keyboard, baritone ukulele, several whistles and both of us playing spoons, washboard, and bones. Besides all their songs about battles won and lost, the Scots and the Irish seem quite romantic but we're short of Welsh love songs. Does anybody know any Welsh songs that would be OK for Valentine's Day, apart from "The Ash Grove" and "All Through the Night"?

Re: Valentines Day
 

All Through the Night with The Men of Harlech? A Valentine's medley if ever there was one.

Re: Valentines Day
 

Here's a list for you

Re: Valentines Day
 

"One black one, one white one, and one with a bit of....."

Proper tidy.

Re: Valentines Day
 

From what little I know of the subject, the Welsh seem to have a rather different view of what constitutes a love song. The best ones all tend to be about unrequited love, untimely death, rejected advances or other equally un-Hallmark moments.

Myfanwy seems hardly to convey the appropriate sentiment for Valentine's Day, although it is lovely.
Yr Eneth gadd ei Gwrthod (apologies for probably mangled spelling) is another beautiful folky song about an unmarried pregnant teenager who drowns herself in despair. Happy laughing stuff it is not.
Maybe Dacw 'Nghariad is more traditionally sentimental... here's a recording, there may be links to other suitable stuff from here!



on edit - and here's the drowning maiden one...

Re: Valentines Day
 

Something from Lindisfarne perhaps?

Re: Valentines Day
 

Ahahaha. Ticks all the boxes: it did, after all, take a coal miner to find the appropriate part - he may have been Welsh :)

Re: Valentines Day
 

Re: Valentines Day
 

I'll probably get the Mrs. a lovely big padded card festooned with roses, hearts and bows; with a poetic verse that proclaims my undying and eternal love for her... Or as I call it, a blow job voucher.

Re: Valentines Day
 

I'll be at home on me lonesome, waiting for my much better half to return from India that week, after missing both Valentine's Day and my Birthday.

Re: Valentines Day
 

Hmmmmmm...TMI? :blink:

Another bloated commercial gimmick geared towards 1 and only 1.......

On the bright side...price drops the next day on the inflated items

Re: Valentines Day
 

TMI? Did you not just post about getting your leg over?

So your next girlfriend is half-price?

Re: Valentines Day
 

My wife goes on a trip to Myrtle Beach with her grandmother and some other relatives on the 14th. I get to work and look after the dog.

It'll likely mean, being a man, that I'll be lazy and get a pizza delivery. The dog will no doubt be delighted to eat some of the crusts. That's love.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: Valentines Day
 

So I take it you and Mrs. Ultrarunner won't be bothering this year then?

Re: Valentines Day
 

Bloody hell mate....Girlfriend, what are you a teenager?

It's all FWB from here on :D

You've gone without for too long :rofl:

Re: Valentines Day
 

Re: Valentines Day
 

If only you knew matey...if only you knew

Anyhoo...a recent survey asking what guys want for Valentine's day yields a result of 46% saying sex...Nice one fellas for stating the Obvious

Well of course the quality is what is always in question

Re: Valentines Day
 

That's what alcohol is for.

Re: Valentines Day
 

I suppose...I wouldn't know being teetotal and all. I guess when you are drunk regardless of the gender, every shag is dynamite?

Re: Valentines Day
 

And species to be honest. :thumbup:

Re: Valentines Day
 

You must have to beat the ladies off with a shitty stick, ultrarunner. You're successful, charming, always well-turned out - I imagine a sports jacket and some smart greay slacks, with penny loafers - you're attentive to a woman's needs and you can always drive home after a night out.

I'm beginning to think I might go bi. :wub:

Re: Valentines Day
 

What would you do on a typical ultrarunner date? A film, dinner, hot air ballon ride?

Re: Valentines Day
 

Hang on a minute. There's nothing wrong with a hot air balloon ride. I've piloted quite a few folks on dates. If you haven't tried it you should. It's akin to a good day on the water fishing !
