That's an awful lot of money on coke and hookers every month! What the hell does he do with it?

 

Pies ?  Beer ?

How does he fit into the Corsa?

Valentine's Day, bunch of fucking bollocks.

 

I'm cooking her tea, she's got a card that'll fucking do.

 

If she was a 20 year old Scandinavian blonde I may have a different attitude.

It's not just my wife,I've got left side hemi paresis and the cold really does my mobility no good at all. I need to do some research I think on it.

 

I think this would be enough grounds for the HA to consider you as vulnerable tenants. I'd persevere, even make a nuisance of myself if I was in a similar situation. No hot water or heating is usually considered an emergency situation so matters should have been taken into account within 24 hours.

Go park that other Picasso you've been offered in their office, worked* for the bloke who did that then burnt down my local council offices

I got a Valentines card, so there! All you sad, unloved buggers can look on in jealous anguish as I bask in the warm glow of someones love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was from 'Dogs Trust' for the dogs I sponsor!

I'd rather have the love of a dog than the vast majority of humans.

I'd rather have the love of a dog ...

 

I had that when my friend's saluki started shagging my left leg.

He should at least have an i8 living at home on that salary

If I had dared buy my wife a valentine's day present she would have beaten me to death with it.  She hated the idea of arm-twisted present giving but was delighted to receive the odd unexpected gift.

Mrs P moans about the commercialism of Valentine’s Day. As it was our anniversary a week ago and I well overspent on that I gave Valentines a swerve.

 

Bad move chaps, bad move...

[myglaren]

I had forgotten it was today.

Collected daughter from her work and took her to central Newcastle, at teatime, to collect her new car (Megan CC) to replace her wiped-out Fiesta.

 

We hid in a cafe until the worst of the traffic was over and it was there I realised it was Valentines.

I just googled that & still no idea, is it a TV reference?

Phoenix Nights. Genuinely funny and - if you’ve ever worked in social clubs - painfully accurate.

Thanks. Never seen it so that's why I didn't get it.

I travelled for nearly 3 hours managing to avoid the Shit that is the m6, and walked in with my lame rose plant and shit card, and pretty much had it thrown back in my face.

Wife had cooked a 3 course meal, and decided that I have had enough chances to make it right and Valentine's day is the day that I should have put some extra effort in.

We didn't get past the first course. She packed a bag and went to stay at her sister's house. (MikeR's wife)

I have to agree with her. I put absolutely no effort in.

I drove her 240 miles each way at the weekend, to have a weekend away. Before that I was doing silly hours at work, but managed to spend an afternoon in a city to try and buy her a Birthday present for Monday. I saw some Valentine's gifts but I was in birthday present mode.

I didn't come home on Monday night because I was told to come home Tuesday for my birthday. I was led to believe that everything was fine on Wednesday.

 

For fucks sake.

 

My attempt to save our marriage by being nice and positive has not worked. It can't have helped that her mum phoned 10 minutes before I arrived home and fucked up her plans for tomorrow.

But no I take All the blame.

Blimey you sound like me and Amy over Christmas! Except they've changed her pills now and she's happy again...

 

Feel for you man, cook yourself a romantic meal for one then retire to the boudoir or something

[Tamworthbay]

Shit NP, sorry to hear that

[purplebargeken]

NP, sounds like you are generally in a no win situation. Damn.

[richardmorris]

Not good for you. Sorry to hear it.

I’ve now managed 46 years without sending or receiving a card. I’m just antisocial, and probably suicidal / depressed / psychotic. Ho hum.

She left roast lamb in the oven.

I have had a small portion and a bowl of corn flakes.

 

I'm putting it down to stress of taking her dad to the hospital and her mother ringing up to tell her she's changed the time, which means she can't have brunch with her friend and the fact that my Waitrose rose plant is in a grey pot and her hatred of potted plants.

 

Whatever.

[loserone]

I think I remember trying to give a girl my last rolo once.

 

Except I didn't like rolos, so I tried to give her the packet. She didn't understand. 18 months later I succeeded and we got together for a few days before she went on holiday. When she got back, I dumped her and she became a lesbian.

 

I haven't bothered with valentine's since.

[New POD]

NP, sounds like you are generally in a no win situation. Damn.

I thought I'd cracked the code. I thought I'd fixed it.

No fucking way.

[Captain Furious]

I got my missus some ace flowers which she was over the moon with and some wine. Alas she decided she was very tired (to be fair she had a rough night last night with me snoring in her face) and needed to go to bed early

 

Ho hum, valentines drinks for one, cheers

Mrs D and I do valentines properly. Bed by half 9 with this on Netflix

[SiC]

They're doing some roadworks around the corner on the main road at the moment. When I went past tonight there was 6 blokes staring down a hole.

 

When I got in, found the boiler off due to ignition lockout. Tried the hob nothing. Gas is out.

 

Spoke to a chap who came around later and someone dented the gas main when digging. They don't know how long it'll be till it's fixed. As we have a combi boiler, no hot water.
