Anyone you’d like to add to the list?
Update: Sorry I’ve been sort of invisible the last few days, but I’ve been under the weather. I’m feeling better now, and should be back to posting as normal tomorrow…
400,000 light years on the odometer, a few million exterminations to it’s credit – and it can be YOURS for the low, low, “I must have gotten smacked on the head by a Timelord” price of £4,000!

So, it’s been brought to my attention that maybe I was a little harsh yesterday – you know, when I went on and on about how much I can’t stand Valentine’s Day. Someone even said to me, “You won’t be saying those things when you have a woman in your life.” Yeah, well…25 years without one can really turn you off to the whole concept. That’s all I’m saying. Now let’s put this behind us for another 363 days.

And as if on cue, at almost the exact moment I hit “publish” on my “Valentine’s Day Manifesto”, one of the women in my office gets a dozen roses delivered to her. FEH.
It’s Valentine’s Day, and if I could channel Louis Black for a moment, all I have to say is…
FUCK Valentine’s Day.
I forgot to wear my traditional all-black outfit today, mainly because most of it is in the laundry, but the spirit is still there. Valentine’s Day is a bogus holiday, dropped on the calendar by the greeting card companies and FTD so they can move more product between Christmas and Mother’s Day. It’s designed to make people in love spend money on each other, and make lonely people (like me) jealous and unhappy.
Well nuts to that action. I’ve been lonely for 25 years, and I’ll probably be lonely for another 25, if my luck runs true to form, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to feel miserable today just because I don’t have someone to buy flowers or chocolates or stupid little kissing bears for. And anyway, if you really, truly love someone, why would you need a silly, contrived, commercial holiday like Valentine’s Day to prove it? To hell with the whole thing.
