A 14th February Antidote

It’s very well written, but so painfully cynical. While I disagree with the rampant consumerism and commercialism of Valentine’s Day, I think we should treat every day as a chance to tell those we love how much we love them. Aaah. And I, for one, am expecting a bulging sack on the 14th. I have a bulging sack most days, actually.

The last sentence ruined the sentiment somewhat love you Babb

If you want another antidote to Valentines Day, come down to the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch for My Ex-Boyfriend’s Records, a night with bands and DJs (Good Shoes and Maximo Park) 8.00 – 12.30 am £6.

My friends’ band The Strange Death of Liberal England are playing. Some people here have expressed a wish to see them, so here’s your chance. Details here:

Will, you sound all genuine and fluffy.

Stop it.

And empty your sacks.

I have an easy antidote to Valentine’s Day. It’s also my daughter’s birthday so instead of getting all lovey-dovey, we have to put balloons everywhere and do birthday cake and such like. Hardly conducive to a romantic evening.

She’s also going to be 16, which is a frightening prospect…

Dont even go there...

I walked past a restaurant this afternoon that was advertising bookings for “Valentine’s Day Weekend: 14th-17th February”.

What the fuck? Hallmark have taken over a whole weekend now?

cynical anti-consumerism but still likes any excuse for a good dinner

ASDA have an ‘In store Romance Advisor”.

There are no words to express how this makes me feel…....

Can you show us via interpretive dance?

Thank fuck I haven’t been to ASDA this week. The person doing that particular job would have needed counselling after I’d finished with them.

I’d be very interested in hearing what the Asda ISRA has to say. However this would involve going to Asda.

Do they pat their bumcheeks when they’re done?

I went to ASDA at lunch time. The ISRA was dressed up in hearts and a stupid hat.
