Valentines Day

Recommended Posts

I will be going out in Birmingham and attempting (and probably succeeding given that it's Valentines weekend, the easiest weekend to pull in the year) to get my end away

Mission accomplished, although she was horrendous.

:lol:

How horrendous are we talking? Description please. :thumb:

Pretty bad. Horrible fake tan, make up applied with a trowel, fake hair and nails etc. She could have come straight out of jersey shore to be honest. Not fat though so that's a bonus.

I realised at about 2.59 in the morning that despite my claims on here that it was easy to pull on v day weekend, I hadn't pulled (I actually hadn't tried to be honest, I was having a very good night with mates) so I grabbed the nearest thing. Oh well, she seemed grateful.

She didn't even complain when I phoned her a taxi out of the blue. Nice girl...

:lol::clap:

Well done Stevo, I was going to ask you whether you had pulled this weekend!

I have been surrounded by couples coming in for massages today. And tonight at work I will be around couples going out for a drink. ............or maybe I'll get lucky and no one will come into my night job as it's trivia night and therefor not considered romantic. *fingers crossed*

I'm warming to Valentine's day after reading these Wikipedia entries. Loony Islam and the loony left (yes, even I think so in this case).

India

Leftist and liberal critiques of Valentine's day remain strong in India. Valentine's Day has been strongly criticized from a postcolonial perspective by intellectuals from the Indian left . The holiday is regarded as a front for Western imperialism, neocolonialism, and the exploitation of working classes through commercialism by multinational corporations. Studies have shown that Valentine's day promotes and exacerbates income inequality in India, and aids in the creation of a pseudo-westernized middle class. As a result, the working classes and rural poor become more disconnected socially, politically, and geographically from the hegemonic capitalist power structure. They also criticize mainstream media attacks on Indians opposed to valentine's day as a form of demonization that is designed and derived to further the valentine's day agenda.

Saudi Arabia

In Saudi Arabia, in 2002 and 2008, religious police banned the sale of all Valentine's Day items, telling shop workers to remove any red items, as the day is considered a Christian holiday. In 2008 this ban created a black market of roses and wrapping paper.

Pakistan

The Jamaat-e-Islami political party has called for the banning of the holiday. Despite this, the celebration is increasingly popular and the florists expect to sell great amount of flowers, especially red roses.

Iran

In the 21st century, the celebration of Valentine's Day in Iran has been harshly criticized by conservatives who see the celebrations as opposed to Islamic culture. In 2011, the Iranian printing works owners' union issued a directive banning the printing and distribution of any goods promoting the holiday, including cards, gifts and teddy bears. "Printing and producing any goods related to this day including posters, boxes and cards emblazoned with hearts or half-hearts, red roses and any activities promoting this day are banned... Outlets that violate this will be legally dealt with," the union warned.

Malaysia

Islamic officials in Malaysia warned Muslims against celebrating Valentine's Day, linking it with vice activities. Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said the celebration of romantic love was "not suitable" for Muslims. Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abdul Aziz, head of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), which oversees the country's Islamic policies said a fatwa (ruling) issued by the country's top clerics in 2005 noted the day 'is associated with elements of Christianity,' and 'we just cannot get involved with other religion's worshipping rituals.' Jakim officials plan to carry out a nationwide campaign called "Awas Jerat Valentine's Day"("Mind the Valentine's Day Trap"), aimed at preventing Muslims from celebrating the day on 14 February 2011. Activities include conducting raids in hotels to stop young couples from having unlawful sex and distributing leaflets to Muslim University students warning them against the day.

That comparison is disturbingly accurate :(

Are we supposed to be in the mind set that we are just proud of you for the pull? Or am I aloud to remind you to have a standard or two and you are better than that?

I'll cooperate with either.

I am firmly of the second opinion. Not proud, but I know when to laugh at myself, and this is one of those situations, as my mates keep reminding me.
