Why is it that blokes are expected to do something "romantic" - i.e. wedge out a load of cash - but women generally don't do a thing? (apart from get the ump cos you obviously haven't put in enough effort/cash!)
me and my missus had our Valentines last night in Greenwich (Cafe Sol, nothing major) because tonight would be a nightmare. She paid for the whole meal and drinks even though i insisted (honestly).
I then gave her the valentine's card which had a soppy message in of course and told her to look on page 8/9 of her present. (we've been together that amount of time)
She opened her present, turned to page 9 and out fell the Killers Tickets. She was thrilled and then asked where it was and i told her to look closer and she was even happier to see it was in Paris.
how can it be a surprise if you've put it on here? unless he wont be logging on today.
I bought some lovely gifts.
Im not worried, my present is coming tonight.... the foolish man bought a gucci watch last year so he really set himself a precedent!!! cant wait.
My dog ripped up a part of my girlfriends present - a stupid cuddly toy. Thankfully she was called out last night and wasn't around this morning so I can go out today and replace it. Thinking about it she is not really into cuddly toys so now I have a bit more time I can get her something better.
Her birthday was last week and I just run out of ideas...............
We say every year 'we're not going to buy each other presents', which means i have to go out and get something, but don't get nothing in return. So have called her bluff this year, and bought nothing. Lets see how it goes....

he knows he's going out for a surprise, he just dosn't know what it is, and i've actually paid for it in advance, and if we go on anywhere else he'll have to sub me as i have 3 pennies in my pocket!

"They're not going to sing in French are they?"
Quality. That reminds me of a woman i know who watched an England international on holiday, 2 hours in front of here. At the end of the game she said 'shall we phone home and tell them the result' ??

Ouch - Brave man!!!!!
I reckon you may just get divorce procedings in the post in the next few days!!
don't think its necessarily more expensive, but expect to sit exceptionally close to other couples in a restaurant, they create more 2 seater tables, with inch gaps between them, so you are essentially on a double date with everyone in the restaurant!
lots of places put on set menus which isn't always the best, and you'll get rushed to get more couples in
Being this is the first year that I am single - I have realised that it's all a fuss over nothing - I have saved an absolute fortune not going out and buying anything.
[cite]Posted By: KBslittlesis[/cite]I bought him a bottle of his favourite 'Chateau Neuf de Pape' & tickets to see OMD in May, I'll have you know!!!!!!!
I have a bottle of chatue nerf du pap to drink tonight with the nice meal i am cooking for Mrs MCS, i got it for my B'day, and was told not to share it with riff raff (ie her dad), and was told its well nice, cant wait to drink it now.
I bloody hate Valentines Day for that exact reason....absolutely no way in hell would I want to sit in a restaurant with loads of other couples, with the lights turned down, crap music playing and heart shaped balloons everywhere....(at least that's what they do in my local Chinese, which is otherwise usually excellent, am guessing it's the same all over the place)

I'm not a great red wine drinker but I am told it is beautiful. A bit heavier that Shiraz etc but you can taste it's quality.

Good luck!
God i spoil that woman.
No wonder she's now divorced.
tasty burger sauce!!
brilliant. I love comments like that.
Posh! You get plates and knives and forks there. Ask for a bottle of Coke De Slim, a sparkling number and 2006 was a good year.
