Wesley Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 He's a bit backwards. This thread isn't even about Valentines Day in his head. It's about Easter.
Kirkatronics Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 So why is war saying red means you want some :S Basically, yea. He's a bit backwards. This thread isn't even about Valentines Day in his head. It's about Easter. That made me smile, i love getting eggs. Thats what makes Valentines day so much better than the rest.
Dog-amoto Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 A friend's wedding has come to the rescue this year so no planning needed. Legend! But we're staying in a hotel afterwards.
CoolFunkMan Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Both should be about loving other people..not spending mass sums of money.. Couldn't have said it better myself. To me Valentines Day just feels like an excuse to splash out more cash than really needed. That, or maybe I'm just bitter because I'm single again.
Ashley Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I think war was saying that normally people who want some will wear bright noticable colours to attract attention (like peacocks!) but he seems to be missing the point that the traffic light game has clear rules and red = no go.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 And christmas doesnt make people feel isolated, like valentines day does to single people I would disagree with that. Valentines Day is really just a one-off day, and there's not a huge build-up to it like Christmas. Sure, there is some build-up, but it's nothing near the same heights as Christmas. For the feeling of isolation, I'd say Christmas is so much worse. Valentines Day is really about spending that day with a loved one, but Christmas can mean that, but it's also about being with your family, and friend. If you've lost someone in your family at that time of year, I'd say it would be hard to enjoy that Christmas without them being there. It's often a time for remembrance. Valentines Day comes and goes, and you don't tend to distinguish one year from the next. Christmas sticks with you. Can you remember Valentines Day from when you were 6, or 13, or 18? Maybe, but you'll almost certainly remember each Christmas. You'll remember it more if someone you cared for, like a friend or family member died around that time. So, I'd say the feeling of isolation is worse then.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I tihnk I'll probably spend the day...alone in a dark room. in my pants. crying. There's lot's of fun stuff to do on the SAD. (See the link below.) Single awareness day, awesome. I think I shall call it that from now on! Kudos dude. Seriously, I didn't made it up! Look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singles_Awareness_Day "Happy SAD!"
Ashley Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 SAD would have to be the 15th then it would be a nice trilogy; 13th - Desperation Day 14th - V Day 15th - SAD Although Not A Father's Day is my favourite anti-holiday day :p
Platty Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 To bring it back to the original question.... I'm taking my girlfriend out to this restaurant where we get our own "tree house". sounds pretty good and prices are quite reasonable. For a present I have got her (us) tickets to see The Cure at the Dome as well she loves them. I'll also pick up some chocolates or something. Moonpig.com is the way to go for your cards. Personalised to the max for £2.99.

Platty Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Seriously... what?! It's a south american restaurant and inside they have personalised booths which you have to climb up to which are set up like tree houses. You get to control the lighting and music too Tis good yar

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Red = colour of love. It makes sense that wearing red would mean "seeking love", even unconsciously.
Ashley Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Fine. Wear this then: Should get the message across :p
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Fine. Wear this then: Should get the message across :p I believe wearing that would have a counterproductive effect to attaining the intended goal. :p
Ashley Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 No because the idea of red = no go has been sckwered by your ilk who believe it to be a "yes go" colour instead. Thus I was saying "fine, if you want to go to a traffic light party and NOT hook up rather than wearing the designated red wear that shirt"

Neither did I until now!
Ashley Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 lol it wasn't meant to be angry, more wry sarcasm. (and warac did genuinely seem confused about the traffic light game). Anyway a kind of point still stands; want no attention on a night out, wear that shirt :p
Jav_NE Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Not sure about that, some girls might find it funny. I know a girl wearing it would get my attention, if only to ask if she actuallly has an STD or not! I've never been to a traffic light party, but they sounded cool back at uni. Thing is, if you wear green surely you just seem desperate. I reckon orange is the way to go, even if you're single. I'd have to wear red if i went now though, which is stupid. No-one should go if they arn't on the pull :p
Ashley Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Can people not just enjoy a night out, even if it is to laugh at the desperation of everyone else? :p

Jav_NE Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 When we had them at Zanzibar in Leicester they had stickers, your clothes meant nothing. NOTHING I TELL J00. That's just lame. I think we've found the reason why ReZ always posts in green though :p
EEVILMURRAY Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 That's just lame. I think we've found the reason why ReZ always posts in green though :p The concept in itself is rather lame. But I think it worked alright with the stickers, as the ladies still wore scantily clad clothing. The fact that most of them weren't coloured is a sign of bad times were we to actually wear coloured clothing. The latter point... Very interestings.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 lol it wasn't meant to be angry, more wry sarcasm. (and warac did genuinely seem confused about the traffic light game). Anyway a kind of point still stands; want no attention on a night out, wear that shirt :p Heh, fair enough. But I don't think the shirt says as much about your sex life as it does about your style of humour.
LukeLee Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Can't say I'm up to much this valentines, my other half is working all day and night. Shame, as I like getting all loved up whatever the excuse.
