Blue Valentines
This may seem quite depressing, but as of yet, I have not experienced a Valentine's Day with a girlfriend, they've always come (and gone) at other times during the year. Consequently this very commercial of festivals, ostensibly to mark the saints day of an ancient martyr about whom very little is known, has always passed me by.
But any opportunity for sharing the music of Mr Thomas Alan Waits is always to be grasped firmly and exploited for the scores of people who have yet to appreciate his genius.
"And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
And I die a little more on each st. valentines day"
When you're all out enjoying a nice meal with your spouse or significant other spare a thought for me, having to be at work until 11pm tonight. Lame. Have a nice day!

Badger, my friend
You're missing nowt.
For years I shared your dull ache of Valentine's Day without a girlfriend, in the process cultivating a pretty jaundiced view of the whole thing.
But I've found to my delight that the girlfriends I've subsequently had spanning 14th February (not that there's been THAT many) have all shared my view that Valentine's Day can be safely ignored.
I shall raise a glass instead to you and fondly remember the days when Mark & Lard celebrated the day on Radio 1 by playing Voodoo Queens' "You're Dumped".
I split up with my last girlfriend on VD (as I call it)...
Hope that makes you feel better!
Frankly, bollocks to Valentine's Day.
Love is for expressing every day of the year.
Valentine's Day is purely for money making.
Honest, you're missing nothing.
Every day is Valentine's Day, Bar one.
Concur.
You end up scrabbling about for a table in restaurants serving overpriced pink food. Go out yesterday, or tomorrow, but balls to Valentine's day.
