Valentines Days
 
Other than rushing out to buy some exotic lingerie at Dragonmart, what have you guys and gals got planned for the big day or will it just pass you by again?

well to be honest, last year everywhere was so inflated for meals etc we just waited til it was over, the next weekend then we went away and had a nice quiet weekend together, we got each other cards and that was it.

I'll be partaking in the elaborate dance of "romance" needed to woo the current Miss Charismatic, hopefully culminating with some nookie :wub:.

We're using it as excuse for a compound drinks night - we always looking for an occasion to get together for drinks at our villas so next one is valentines day. Then there's some Dutch holiday in March I think and ANZAC Day and St Georges Days fall within a couple of days of each other in April. That's sorted our social lives here for another couple of months.

I am looking forward to being wined & dined at Vasco's, and if he buys me some beautiful lingerie or some nice perfume then maybe, just maybe, I might put out...

At least if its marked on the calender we have some sort of hope!

On the day I will don my special panther costume, and with perfume myself with rancid wolverine essence whilst performing my mating dance in the vain home my sweet lady with notice I exist long enough for me to whisk her away to Viagra Falls.

That said I might just give her more flowers than usual and open a bottle of wine ;)

If it was in the eighties I wouldve had it in a nylon bag...But it's the 21st century now...Technology...
I know, not as romantic as it was before, but still, it's much better than going on the Hallmark website and emailing her an eHummous...

Er, guys, I was joking!!?! Sorry, I thought it was obvious that my post was tongue-in-cheek. Obviously not obvious enough!

By the way Confucius, my boyfriend says thanks for the sympathy and yes he is a 'poor bastard' :D.
