Going to the cinema shouldnt be stressful, it should be a pleasure like it used to be, back in the day.

Sitting next to a bloke who was either scunching popcorn or crisps, figetiting, or groping his Fillipino paid for wife. Not really appropriate at a kids movie.

If you're going to the movies, go watch the film, not have your dinner.

We had that while watching star wars. Bloke a couple of rows down was on his phone the whole time.

I could handle that, better if he was right in front of me. This guy was right next to me.

I say something, loudly, politely but in a 'and don't you dare defy me' tone of voice that Stu calls my headmistress mode.

Usually we're too polite as a nation to say anything, but when you do, the embarrassment they feel being started at by everyone else usually stops the annoying behaviour.

Oh and today, this...

There was a scrum in Waitrose yesterday at the £20 ready meal deal, you can't move for tacky red roses, cheap chocolate and other nasty ❤ adorned tat.

If we really need one day a year to be reminded to show our partners some appreciation then that's very sad. I cook Stu dinner almost every Sunday, and all week or we go out for a meal just because I don't fancy cooking. As for flowers, I buy them for myself if I want them, this time of year that is 3 bunches of daffs for £2.50 and they are lovely. I don't even like roses, especially not scentless red ones that last 2 days and cost £50.

(I'm not a slushy romantic, can you tell?)

Totally agree. My wife isn't bothered. Just shows how easily we can be led by big companies to buy stuff we don't want or need!

Bit of valentine 'tat' would be nice

We don't mind days like this - it's a nice excuse for a cooked breakfast which my waistline does not need on a normal day. I'm getting reasonably good at poaching hen's ovulations now.
