Attention All Lovers Out There!
- 10 February 2011 19:3292204It's the time of year when we are all running around to find the perfect card with words to melt a lovers heart, a red blooded rose of just the right shade to match those pouting lips not forgetting that box of handmade chocolates oozing with Romantic descriptions like 'lovers dancing in a praline mousse latte heart' or 'champagne sozzled cherubs entwinned in romantic bliss filled dark chocolate'.
Pink Champagne on ice with rose petals scattered around the room thown across the red satin bedsheets.
Oooh, Heavens to Betsy! time to find the sexy lingerie ladies, which inadvertently got pushed to the back of the drawer for that 'special occasion'
With so much on offer in Dover why not try the Ramada which has something special for this Romantic time of year, see contact details on the Advertisers page, Oooh! you know you want to

Howard, I'm told that a truss can be quite becoming
- 11 February 2011 07:4392248By whom, Barry ?
Have you been talking to Trevor, Barry (WS) ?
Roger - 12 February 2011 08:5692369Ah yes Barry paints a romantic picture there. Howard I sympathise with your postman..too many sacks to fetch to your door and all oozing with romantic gesture. Alas your postman doesnt feel the same and probably gives you another kind of gesture ...
My postman rather amazingly gets lost on Valentines day in recent times. I dont undertand it. I wait patiently at the door tapping the panelling but he never shows up...I dunno. he seems to lose his way on Feb 14 but he can always find me other days when he has phonebills, gasbills...!email: dover7@msn.com - 12 February 2011 14:4292395Ah a little birdie told me today that Paul B is getting a card and a prezzie,I have lent the lady concerned one of Howard's old ones,don't worry about the crossing out Paul and where it said Howard don't worry about that,and I can exclusivly reveal your prezzie on here.......A pint of the black stuff!
A second birdie told me it is Ian's birthday,and he is being taken out by a load of young ladies!!!!If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 12 February 2011 14:5392396Jeanne - what a lovely idea! Street art and romance at the same time. Love it, if you'll pardon the expression!
- 12 February 2011 15:2892399Thanks Bern I photograph a lot of urban / abandoned buildings / graffiti and thought this was great. Alas it was only there for a short time as it was hording around a shop being done up. Someone wrote a message on it and many others followed and it became known locally as the Love Wall. I wish there were more like it. It was great fun reading the messages.
- 13 February 2011 10:4492468Ah i love valentines day usually i get spoilt but this year we are celebrating a few days later due to my dad being in hospital but i did give mark a little gift last nite
- 14 February 2011 10:4992568Happy St Valentine's Day to all the romantics out there, 'Lurrve On'
- 14 February 2011 11:3392573I'm celebrating in a slightly different way this year, I am having a tattoo this afternoon.
- 14 February 2011 13:4592581To all the lovely lady forumites a very happy Valentines Day....Pimms are on the Editor...Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 14 February 2011 13:5492582Jeane, I hope you will later be posting a photo of said tattoo? Assuming it can be done with appropriate modesty, that is!I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 14 February 2011 14:1192584I will Peter.
There is a bit of a story behind it, I'd been planning this tattoo for nearly a year; it was originally to celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary (in March) and birthday. Last November I became seriously ill and whilst in hospital I decided that if I got better I would have something to represent overcoming the pneumonia and septicemia. A bit like a phoenix rising from the ashes (although I didn't actually want a phoenix.) Thankfully I am fine now so last month I got working on a design. I have 10 small tattoos already (yes they are addictive), and before I go under the needle I always think carefully. My tattoos represent departed loved ones, places or events in my life which kind of tell my story. Anyway, after much book and internet research I decided on a dove in flight carrying a small piece of olive branch. To me it represents soaring high, peace and tranquilly and of course my great love of birds. It will on my left hand side, under my waist and above my hip.
Now where do I collect that Pimm's Marek?! - 14 February 2011 18:4092610I would like a Pimm's too....---------------------------------------------------
