Valentines Day Assistance Thread

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by noobie, Feb 8, 2019.

  1. Now, it amazed me too, wimmin apparently do not want an Akrapovic exhaust for valentines day. Neither do they want a £350 Dianese voucher or be taken out for an Arai fitting at the local bike shop.

    Knowing we maybe lacking slightly in metrosexuals in the forum, some might be needing some advice. So seeking a brother from another mother to share some success's and to save the day, here is the place to tell what has worked on valentines day and what hasn't. P.S. it's next Thursday

  2. Just ignore it, after a few years they know not to expect anything.

  3. I'm not good with these things either...
    Perhaps a 3 way? Find a fit bird ( for free or paid for) and ... and ... and....
    This may be why I'm single....

  5. 4 lengths of thick soft black rope always works, pleasure or pub are the options once fitted :):upyeah:

  6. My wife has her birthday on the 20th of Feb so a birthday present is more important than any valentines day pressie. Last year I took her to the Ducati dealer to collect her band new Monster 821. She was over the moon as it was a special birthday for her, her 70th.

  7. Something whittled by your own fair hand in your man cave ?

    I’d be happy with a whole Cave aged cheddar and an expensive bottle of red - but I’m a bit odd

  8. My wife’s :heart: getting a new bicycle :):upyeah:. But truth be known I want one too :confused: and Halfords have some on special offer at the mo, plus I get an extra discount WITH MY FORUM PREMIUM SUBSCRIBER CARD :p.

    Sorry, did I shout that. But I’ve saved significantly more than the £15 it cost. IMO it’s well worth it.

    Anyway, I digress, I’m on a world tour at the mo, well London anyway (painting daughter No.1’s flat and fixing all those little things that tradesmen in London charge an arm & leg for) and I promised to be back for the 14th :). Well, I was told to be back home for the 14th :(. So I’ve booked a table in the local Italian back home and I’ll pick up some flowers (from Aldi - great value) on the way home. Plus tie a red ribbon around the bicycle. :upyeah:

  9. I love strong cheddar (and all cheese) but if you like strong cheddar I’ll get you an Irish one that blew my socks off it’s so good (and has picked up awards at the Great Taste). Derg Farmhouse. :upyeah:

  13. Start the day off right......make her a tea, coffee....or even a martini if that's approprite, give her a card....you never know what happens next !
    And tell her you have a restaurant booked for the night....a nice one!

  14. I left it a bit late a few years ago but, like any good romantic thinking on my feet I went to the store cupboard at the work messroom and managed to get a can of de-icer plus an ice scraper, both brand new mind.. I wrapped them in brown paper and presented them... I think it’s safe to say she was not overwhelmed with my romantic gesture, a rather frosty response was obtained.. Perhaps that’s part the reason why I live alone in Noodle Towers now! X

  15. Apparently a hose reel doesn't count much for a gift amongst women. So hard to get it right!

  16. Good grief no. Thankfully for wimmin I no longer date, it gets very confusing. My first ex wife on Tuesday text me to remind me not to forget my last long term girlfriends birthday on Thursday.

    Two ex wifes and a fair few ex gf's all talk to each other is enough as it is without adding to the crew.

  17. I’m not really bothered about gifts but I do like a thoughtful card

    Breakfast in bed
    A text message to say meet me somewhere for coffee
    Flowers
    Candle
    Food gifts

    Just keep it simple
