With Valentines day just around the corner, the question has to be..

Garp · 12-02-2008, 20:08

Would you ever buy these?

Unanimous "NO" at work. I've asked a couple of women their opinions too just in case our predominantly male workforce was biased and both felt they wouldn't like to get them. One of them commented that if the bloke felt that they had to buy them then they were probably apologising, and that "doing a Kobi" was better. Further interrogation revealed that to be "Kobi Bryant" an american basketball player who bought his wife a 4 carat diamond to apologise for cheating on her.

FIVE HUNDRED QUID?!?!?! I'd ask Phil why the hell he wasn't paying for Sakuras welding if he had that kind of money to waste on flowers. Sheesh.

Called "Infatuation"? Thats worrying enough, imagine if you got those off a stalker

I think its pathetic spending that much on flowers, after all, they die after a week :/

Joe 90 · 12-02-2008, 20:29

ha, no. never.

Bloody hell!!! I'd probably beat him to death with them if he wasted that much money on me.

Even if we were rolling in it that is such a waste!!!

Hmmmm if you can comfortably afford them, in the right situation (a romantic time away somewhere which is planned coinciding with valentines) then maybe. But chances are slim

. Them on there own is a bit =/ they would have to be part of some extravagant get-away etc...

Me - No, I'm not taken, nor can i comfortably afford them (I wish

) also I'm not doing anything extravegantly romantic for the day (I'm going to a traffic light party at a club

oh yeeeeah).

What... is a traffic light party?

Wear green if you're single and well up for shagging virtually anyone you meet

Wear amber if you're single and might be up for something if someone nice happens across your path

Wear red if you're taken or not interested in catching any STDs

Basically. That's how it works at Uni anyway.

Green = Sex on a plate
Amber = Sex with some effort
Red = Don't bother trying it on

All the blokes wear green, girls wear red/yellow else they get mauled by the blokes (or are after the attention). Least thats what happened in Chelmsford.

Would I buy them? Hmmm, depends on who I was trying to date

Those A-list models are soooo damn demanding, bloody woman

So given that i'm unlikely to get a foot taller, wake up and suddenly be built like Rambo..... no I wouldn't. However red roses into the build up for popping the question .... now that is another matter (but it wouldn't be on valentines day obv).

People who buy those are hardly going to admit to it, are they?
