Toolstation Valentines offer

[Tricky Dicky]

I see Toolstation have a Valentines Day offer of ear defenders. Is this to protect us from an ear bashing when we have forgotten to treat the one we love? Richard

Last year I bought her a USB socket as a Valentines present.

Her present this year is me fitting the socket:-)

Adam you really know how to spoil her :)

This reminds me of a story some years back when a company hit upon the 'great' idea of calling their sale the Valentines day price massacre, and made a commercial with gangster sounding voices with machine gun sounds punctuating the sample Sale items available. People complained to the ASA and it was taken off. OK, it was perhaps a little insensitive but I've seen and heard worse in comedy shows back in the 70s. Brian

I bought her some flowers last week. All she said was "What have you done wrong?"

I must be naive, because I believed you. Sadly, I can't find the offer on their website.

Nice joke, though. :)

"Trick No. 1" - buy her flowers *for no reason*, early on. The linkage is broken that way ;-)

"Wear protection this Valentine's"

Thanks.

Hmm. What do I need to spend £100 on?

[ARW]

Power tools (I suggest an angle grinder), USB sockets, LED lamps and ear defenders.

Quite tempted to get this for DW:

It's nice and light, plus well balanced for her to use.

That's not quite the full £100, so I'll invest in some PPE for myself to wear during the romantic hand-over ceremony.

Then you're tied to doing it for life. ##"You don't buy me flowers any more"##

TBH they are cheap enough at Aldi. And I have to buy cat food there as the cat will not eat any other brand.

It will if it gets hungry enough.

[Vir Campestris]

... and I forgot to get anything at all, not even a card ...

Though she's more bothered about her cold.

I have fitted it in the wrong place.

It was supposed [1] to replace the socket on the LHS of the cooker and I installed it at the socket on the RHS of the cooker.

Might come in handy for when you're in the company of ardent and incorrigible Remoaners.
