How did you celebrate Valentine's Day?
Submitted by Stephen.
I view valentine's day in pretty much the same vein as Christmas Day, an innocent and well-meaning celebration inflated into something the serves merely to fill the coffers of big corporations and the leisure industry. I can think of nothing worse than forced, scentless, slightly manky red roses, a card with a heart on it and sitting in a restaurant with loads of other couples being charged especially inflated prices under the pretence of being romantic.
Sorry but romance to me is spontaneous and not about commercial crap and in particular red friggin' roses.
My only nod to the day is a bit of fun I have with my friend Chris which has it's roots in our days as students and it generally involves very little money boosting corporate coffers.
Mosh and I, in 13 years have never acknowledged valentines day and I really hope it stays that way.
