Forums: The Bar,

I have a hangover planned for tomorrow. However, everyone should feel free to send me gifts to PO Box 600, Wellington. Thank you.

Sure, I'll probably have a couple of beers to commemorate the massacre.

yeah VE day or VJ day........... pst.......... I think she has the date wrong, all that sitting out in the rain with a spy camera has addled her brain

VALENTINES DAY.

sheesh.

I'm driving to Dunedin with my best friend and my boyfriend and going to see the pre-raphaelite exibition, staying in what i hope to be a skody backpackers, then going to Larnach Castle and the Chills/David Kilgour/Rob Scott gig on sunday.

pre-raphaelite exhibition is definitely worthwhile seeing! :) sounds like a cool day...

I'm packing a sad at Tate for not bringing that to Auckland.

Not that Tate really care.

wow i heard about that gig today too...i hear its free...damn why do they have these things in dunedin when im not there?!!!

Did you enjoy Dunedin? Where you drive down from?

// I'm packing a sad at Tate for not bringing that to Auckland.

It's not Tate. It's Auckland. The Dunedin Art Gallery got off it's arse.

I was already packing a sad at Auckland, I just thought I'd spread the spleen around a little more.

yep I plan to get pissed and then when I'm done doing that I plan to get more pissed after which I am going to a gig where I plan to get drunk. bah fucken humbug.

i'm going to try and fix my car. then I'm taking my 3 yr old nephew to the zoo and 'rock the park' in pt chev. when i arrive home, the flowers and wine that i sent myself should have arrived so that will be nice.

I noticed in that post Prozaco linked to that there were lots of other NZm loves mentioned. Are all the boys still in love with Jane Y a year on? And does Jimi still have a crush on Aka? And do all the others still lust for their listed lustees? The people demand answers!

no jimi not longer has a crush on me, but i do know who he fancies now.

Awww aka, what went wrong?

//Are all the boys still in love with Jane Y a year on?
yes :D

Awwwwwwwwwwwww

I *heart* Prozaco.

How sweet man! Totally.

*******Begin rant.***********

VALENTINES DAY: Another lame red letter holiday as proposed by the Capitalist World, Its full intention is to make Corporations such as Hersheys, Cadbury and Corbans Rich while exploiting the population with there Greed. Also single people miss out thus making Valentines Day an ultra lame and absolutely pointless day. I Can understand Christmas and Easter but Valentines day is a total joke.

*******end of rant.***********

Sam . . . . . . . For the love of JC please go out and get laid this year.

"HAPPY CAPITALIST DAY for friday the 14th

Valentines Day is a load of shit, it was only set up so major multinationals such as Hersheys Chocolates as well as local brands ie. Corbans, Teleflorist can make a killing, why the fuck do people celebrate this shit old day anyway when it has nothing to do with the theme, ratehr thes eplaces milking your dole cheque and spendin it all on fancy PC Equipment and "brand spanking new hip and with it stock which will sell like pot" and for the record, valentines day rejects widows/widowers/ the single social rejects and divorcees and excludes them from the inner circles of society, FUCK CAPITALISM.

however April 20 is not only easter sunday, its 4/20 - us stoney outcasts heyday, this is they day we will emerge from the hole and start our reign of planting seeds and smoking in public in an act of civil disobediance. so beware, NORML is a cometh to your town. and 4/20 is the day "

It's good to know in this changing world that some things remain the same - year after year after year after year....

Please note:

It is SAINT Valentines day, a religous festival. Traditionally a time for lovers.

Unfortunately, yes, the corporates have caught on to it. In fact as far as NZ is concerned we are pretty much Johnny Come Latelys when it comes to St Valentines day.

"Saint Valentine's Day

The popular customs associated with Saint Valentine's Day undoubtedly had their origin in a conventional belief generally received in England and France during the Middle Ages, that on 14 February, i.e. half way through the second month of the year, the birds began to pair. Thus in Chaucer's Parliament of Foules we read:

For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne's day
Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate.

For this reason the day was looked upon as specially consecrated to lovers and as a proper occasion for writing love letters and sending lovers' tokens. Both the French and English literatures of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries contain allusions to the practice. Perhaps the earliest to be found is in the 34th and 35th Ballades of the bilingual poet, John Gower, written in French; but Lydgate and Clauvowe supply other examples. Those who chose each other under these circumstances seem to have been called by each other their Valentines"

April 20th - also Hitler's birthday and the anniversary of the Columbine shootings.

//Sam . . . . . . . For the love of JC please go out and get laid this year.

Tclak i like your attitude.

Joanna, Very Nice Interpretation indeed, Very nice. however i see no relevance into how 4/20 got into the discussion.

Penny - Hitler is an evil Dilhole and those kids at columbine where nutcases. The term 4/20 (depending on who u ask) Originated because 4/20 is the LAPD Code for Marijuana Possession. And since April 20 is 4/20 in US Dating system. It has been adopted universally.

//"HAPPY CAPITALIST DAY for friday the 14th

Its actually Saturday the 14th Joanna, Today is Friday the 13th....A Lucky day indeed.

And wasn't Saint Valentine a preist who made it possible for young lovers to marry in secret when others opposed the match? I like Valentines day even though I won't be doing anything , the reflected happiness is nice anyway!

Isn't dude a martyr?

Valentine was a Christian bishop in a time and place where Christianity was illegal; he was found out and executed on the 14th which happened to be the big-finale-day of a pagan festival when males drew names of young maids and gave them roses (European spring an all.) Poor Val was later cannonised for his matyrdom and the roses thing is just a nice coincidence.

Apparently.

Yeah, canonised is being made a saint. Can't remember exactly what being beatified is, but it's like Sainthood Lite.

It's 41 degrees in Melbourne today, not sociable weather for Valentine's day. I'm going into the city tonight and I just know every restaurant is going to be rammed full of sweating couples desperately trying to make the most of it. :|

joanna yes - sorry, my mistake, it took me a couple of minutes to work out what you where saying, but then - i thought "hey shes just requoting what i said last year".

Luci - click the link at hte top and see what you posted about Valentine's Day last year, when it was on the Saturday. Sound familiar?

...the young maids would spend the day with the men who drew their name, little hussies. And can one be 'cannonised' or did I just make that word up?

I like grusome ;o)

aw shucks..

where's my prezzie then huh Jay?

Sigh, it's not about material things grusome* ... I'll get you something heartfelt and loving ... maybe I'll push you off your bike next time we ride, I show love by hurting people.

(* - I have no money.)

pain is the gift that keeps on giving. . .and provides inspiration for a return gift

// I show love by hurting people.

Maybe my partner loves me hard out why we have problems!! (Just being a humourous sook).

im going to completely wreck the nature of this topic...
i will probably, after going to work and being driven insane (ou that reminds me need to buy a packet of lolipops), get home and get together with my best friend and demand she buys me alcohol and chocolate, then sit around getting drunk and mope... relationships suck..
