Going by the law of averages the missus'll be up on blocks
therefore she'll be tucked up in bed with a hot water bottle and I'll be sat in front of the telly with a DVD. Probably.

True romance!
That's not a suggestion of what film to watch btw...

People rave about Reservoir Dogs, but I was distinctly non-plussed when I saw it.
Pulp Fiction on the other hand is fucking brilliant.

If Love is a Red Dress is an astounding track.

Indeed.
Must replace my copy of the soundtrack; I lost custody of it in the divorce.

I've yet to watch Inglorious Basterds, despite having it on DVD for about 2 years.

Brad Pitt's pretty funny in it, as is Fassbender

God, stop going on about it.

it was only written by him, it was directed by Tony Scott.
Not a proper Tarantino, just like Natural Born Killers.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 6 Feb 2014, 19:52, Reply)

I don't get Tarantino with his absolutly teddiously long speech scenes.
I don't want to look at some slag I don't give a fuck about in a box trying to punch her way out.

Why do you have to be loving/affectionate/sincere/vaguely interested on that day more than any other?

Y'right DG?

It's always been a piss-take day for former partners - we've gone out deliberately to watch couples not talking to each other but going through the motions for form's sake.

My wife and I went out for dinner one year on Valentines, saw a bloke at another table go down on one knee, the woman said no.
He ran out of the restaurant in tears. She then picked up the bottle of wine on their table & fucked off without paying.

Sort of funny & sad to see really.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Thu 6 Feb 2014, 19:48, Reply)

I am reasonably sure that I would just find that funny.

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Thu 6 Feb 2014, 19:49, Reply)

I felt sorry for the bloke.
But serves him right for proposing in public.

I carved my proposal in the snow in the back garden. That way if she said no I could hose the evidence away.

Steve Harmison was in the bar when I proposed to the missus.
He's very tall.

Bloke that used to work for me proposed to his girlfriend in a branch of KFC. In Slough.
She said yes.

I got a lot of kudos for the way in which I asked her.
Rather more than I got for being a husband.

You can't do that - you can't get in your head that micro is a result of a mistake.
You have to bring her up in an environment of stability.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 6 Feb 2014, 20:11, Reply)

Micro is certainly not a mistake and the best thing to ever happen to me. Things are stable for her; her emotional development is critical.

Glib and trite can be good.
I'm still on the lookout for job security, but at least I'm working at the moment even if the job itself isn't very taxing.

Ah, that went tits up.
Fortunately I got an email from an old colleague at the same time asking if I was free for some casual work. Halfway through an 8 week contract; probably going to be asked to stay on for a bit and possibility of being able to apply for a couple of vacant positions in the team once the organisation goes through its at risk / internal advert / external recruitment. One of the jobs is the one I'm doing; the other's in project appraisals which is more my bag and better paid.
