You might have made this more convincing by not posting it at 10:35pm on valentines day.

Re: Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is the biggest fad in history.
I can't believe the thousands of people that actually celebrate it and waste their money.

It's really commercial but I honestly see no point in getting depressed by it - I wasn't depressed about it at all even before managing to fix the day up.

People waste money on it because girls feel special when they get presents/flowers/taken out

Re: Valentine's Day
I don't really see it as a waste, either. A waste implies you're forking out money/time for something, and getting nothing in return.
As long as you're not spending ridiculous amounts of money on the girl, then it really is just what you can afford. The rewards you'll reap from making a little bit of an effort are worth it (worst case scenario, you win brownie points with her friends/family, best case scenario she returns the favour in a different form). It's only one day in the entire year that you can/should make a bit of a fuss of her - apart from her birthday.
It's not that depressing either. I suppose it would be if all your friends were getting loads of cards, and you got nothing. But does that even happen in real life?

But you can do this at anytime though. There are 364 other days you know.
Why does someone need to tell their partner on this one day of the year that they love them when they can do it any other day?
I'm not bitter. I just see this Valentine's Day too ridiculous.

Why do we celebrate Christmas even though most of us don't go to church or are Christians? Who knows - I still love Christmas with my family though. I'm sure plenty of you do too.
Why do we celebrate ours and friend's birthdays by having parties and going for drinks? Why do we buy them presents?
If I suddenly, out of the blue, gave my girlfriend a card/roses/dinner all on one day, she'd probably think it a little odd.

Re: Valentine's Day
I know it's only early days Tom, but you're going to have to tone down the random references to 'my girlfriend' or risk falling victim to Silversmoke Syndrome.
Also, i don't see why she would think it a little odd, or if she did she would get over it pretty quickly given the fact that she was getting free stuff (girls love stuff).
Or do you only surprise girls when you're guilty about something?

I know you've spent a year with minimal contact with other women (hahaha see I implied you're a little girl) but I think you're confusing the word "odd" with the word "sweet".

So spending quality time with the family is confined to Christmas? That's odd.

You could have parties, go for drinks and buy them presents for other reasons too, not just birthdays.

Christmas was the last time my entire family (mother, father, two sisters and the dog) were all together. I don't know when we'll next all be together again. Easter I expect - but there's no guarantee. I know that every Christmas we'll all be there. This definitely isn't unusual for most of the UK.

Sure.
The bottom line is you can't define marketing as ridiculous. If it's so ridiculous, people wouldn't buy into it. Having said that, the general public seems to be retarded when it comes to marketing/advertising (my favourite example being the "why have three blades on your razor when you can have FOUR?!" farce).

*second most alcohol.
I'm pretty sure we know who'll drink the most on the Irish patron saint's day, from these forums...

This year I'm going to drink so much that Jesus Christ himself is going to come down from heaven just to say "dude, that was a lot of ****ing alcohol you just drank".

It's a great razor, to be fair. I have it too, it's even better than the Mach 3.

Re: Valentine's Day
Adding extra blades to a razor does nothing guys. It just reduces the amount of movement from razor->skin as it's larger and more blades are going over the area.
That stupid animation on the advert of "the first blade takes half a hair off, the second takes the other half off, the third trims it down, the fourth then finishes it off" is stupid. If the first two blades are so ineffective, then get new blades
The only razor gimmick I've bought into is the Aloe Vera spongy pad things on the disposable ones I get. That's because I can notice the difference on them, though. I have quite sensitive skin on my face.

So it does do something...?
Anyway, maybe there is a good one blade razor out there, but if I'd tend to agree that when you have more blades it makes shaving easier. Moving home recently I found myself having to shave with a razor with one blade on it, and found it fairly horrible.
This is not to say that we should have fifty blade razors or something, but certain 3/4 blades does seem to help. If nothing else there's more "edge" overall to blunt.

Re: Valentine's Day
It really does do something. The extra blade means that there's less pressure on any one area of your skin, meaning that the shave is a lot lot smoother. You can press harder (to get to the really short hairs) without worrying about slipping and cutting yourself - and that's just one example.

Let's hope it's not one of those French restaurants.
