    I was never sent any Valentine's Cards by the girls in my class.

    But I got my own back when 20 years later to the day I murdered them all in unusual and original Valentine-themed ways.

    Should make a movie out of that . . . change your name, though, otherwise they'll hunt you down

    Agreed, it's just way to make as much money as possible..I remember when I was back in the UK many moons ago. A single red rose on 'valentines' day would cost about a bloody fiver!!!! any other time of year your looking at 30-50p.

    Day light robbery for a Hallmark card day...What a load of cobblers..

    I agree about the easter egg crap an all...except that you should be allowed to purchase Cream eggs all year round... I used to love them.....sickly as fook you only needed one or two....

    Clearly you've never played conkers. You get a good hit and you can blatter your opponents conker into smithereens. But other than the remote chance a piece goes in somebody's eye any injury would be about as life threatening as a paper cut. We used to sustain more injuries trying to get the damn things down out of the trees than we ever did playing the game.

    How is it that we allow these PC quangos such as 'Health and safety' to wield so much power? Clearly the majority think their ideas are nonsense and yet this small minority control so much of our lives.
    Simples (as the advert goes) we caught the litigation bug off our transatlantic buddies. Remember when we used to take the piss out of them for suing because the coffee was hot or the instructions didn't warn against drying dogs in th microwave (urban myth actually but never mind)? Well the UK is as bad now, with ambulance chasing lawyers and our culture of apportioning blame for every little accident.

    btw H&S is feck all to do with PC and it's great for people like you to slag off safety but when your wife/daughter, or even yourself, is crippled by a badly constructed or maintained facility you'll damn soon change your tune.

    H & S takes the fun out of life and goes beyond the ridiculous at times.Anyway your quote above pretty well negates what you said in your first paragraph

    Okay, you got me there . But the problem is the threat of litigation, as I keep saying, and it's the people that are creating the situation where H&S has to be applied to situations that are beyond the ridiculous. People can no longer accept that if they trip over a loose paving slab they should watch where they're stepping. Someone has to be at fault, someone has to be blamed, someone has to be sued. The percentage of council budgets that is being spent on insurance is getting out of all proportion and hampering doing something practical like fixing problems.

    Anyway, to get back on topic (a first on TD?), they'll have to dethorn the Valentine's Day roses just in case little Waynette (10) pricks her thumb on the red rose given her by her boyfriend Wayne (11) as she is admitted into hospital for the birth of their first baby.

    More hyperbole and manipulation from the good old sensationalist Telegraph.

    All part of their "society is collapsing" campaign... insipid, creeping anti-government propaganda.

    Do they really think this is new?

    If they were really unlucky they'd be growing up poor in the only country in the world to be named on both the list of top source countries and top destination countries for trafficked persons.
    According to a report last year by UNODC, countries that were major sources of trafficked persons included Thailand, China, Nigeria, Albania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine.
    Thailand, Japan, Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey and the US were the most common destinations, the report said.

    You've obviously not read the Daily Mail or Express then.

    Just been reading about the Police prosecuting all shop owners in Sudan who offered any Valentine day cards or gifts for sale - even red coloured goods are banned.
    Reason is that western customs are banned under Sudanese islamic law!
    Theirs is such a reasonable open minded religion ? - I think we should adopt a lot of the same attitude in Australia and ban Islamic holidays and customs - fairs fair ? rollover Ramadin?

    Fair's fair? Do you even comprehend what total bullshit comes out of your brain?

    Excellent, you and people like you wish to drag a country like Australia down to the gutter with places like Sudan . . . The ANZACs would turn in their graves hearing ill-educated prats like you throw their sacrifices into the rubbish

    And you dare have the Oz flag in your avatar . . Go on, let's have a discussion about this attitude of yours that you, undoubtedly, share with some others who are as lamebrained as you

    Settle Gretel , are you telling me that we Australians should let the moslems walk all over us , demand we adopt their culture into our society , write to the families of our soldiers killed in battle , defaming them , calling them worthy of death because they kill followers of Islam , mercilessly harassing grieving mothers and widows ( calling themselves Australian when it suits them ? ).
    Build and finance schools for the propogation of the Islamic anti Christian faith ?
    If you believe this don't you dare use the term ANZAC or speak of our glorious dead as supporting the garbage you utter in their name.

    I object to anyone who uses and debases the good natured, open hearted attitude of the genuine Australian and uses it to further their own obscene beliefs.

    I guess you and the Ant are either one and the same or joined at the hip from birth?

    I really support the Americans in Australia as a minority group - is this what you mean ?
