ChatGPT saved the day with a half reasonable love poem for MrsRNP.
Who says romance is dead?
Do we not get to hear it then?
Mrs Binners didn't look overly impressed with my valentines day declaration that I love her even more than I love Marcus Rashford 😀
Excellent Binners. Thanks for the reminder that it's Valentine's day 😱
Any one living in or near Marple - our local 'chocolato' (hand made chocolate and gelato ice cream shop) is open. Your better half will love you forever.
Binners - you're a keeper.
I made my wife a card one year that stated "I love you more than my bike", I'm a keeper too.
Do we not get to hear it then?
I had to copy it from WhatsApp - I've not actually sent her a card!
Larissa, my love, you light up my day,
With your radiant smile and your playful way.
Your eyes sparkle bright like the stars in the sky,
And your laughter is music to my heart, I sigh.
Every moment with you is pure delight,
As we share our love and our dreams take flight.
Your beauty and grace are a treasure to behold,
And I promise to cherish you, my love, forever bold.
So Larissa, my darling, my heart beats for you,
As we journey together, our love shining true.

Truly moving ... 😭
I'd told Mrs HTO on Sunday that I was riding with mates Tuesday, forgetting it was Valentine's Day (since realised, obviously!). Some slightly 'pointed' comments this morning ... but then, she'd organised an online meeting at 8pm, and we've our daughter to collect from the station at 9.45pm! Anyway, one of our number has bailed on the ride, and the remaining 2 of us are curtailing the ride AND not going to the pub. Who said romance was dead?
Binners – you’re a keeper.
Well let's be honest, with his build he'd be no good on the wing 😉
[Applause_gif] 🙂
🤣🤣🤣
@Bunnyhop, no good for me, I left home at 7am, on the bike, and am currently on the outskirts of Manchester, and won't get back to "near Marple" before 6pm. Guess who forgot, and hasn't got a even a card ? Sent a text back to MrsF this morning.
Will flowers survive a 10 mile cycle commute 'off road' ?
Well let’s be honest, with his build he’d be no good on the wing
Its a fair point 😀

Get some from the local garage. Every bloke knows that nothing says 'I love you' like some garage forecourt flowers 🤣
Excellent work binners,you old softie. 😃
I am and always will be,a hopeless romantic.
No flowers or chocolates though,this year I got MrsFH a telescope and a card.
As our world spins around,you tumble with me.
Holding us close as we travel,with your special gravity.
Keeping me in close orbit,through testing times last year.
I love you as much as ever,my piece of paradise right here.
❤ 😆
Who needs AI, I just whatsapped this across
It's valentines day 14th of Feb, A day of chocs and flowers in red, but that's not important it's just a day, I promise to to love you atleast until MAy.
Completely forgot, but was presented with hand made cards from both wife and daughter, so quite chuffed.
Luckily we're moving house this week and I'm doing chemo, so I was excused for forgetting.
Quick trip to Waitrose beckons!

It's not a patch on my heartfelt creation;
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Our dog is hairy
My bum is too
It doubly romantic, because I said it was my bum that's hairy, not hers. That's Grade A gallantry, that is...
Binners – you’re a keeper.
Well let’s be honest, with his build he’d be no good on the wing
Oi - as fully paid up member of the keeper's union I have to point out that the modern day keeper is a blend of strength, agility, flexibility and bravery and not just the fat kid that can't run.
Louise, my love, you disturb me every day...
A trip to Asda is needed, to get a card, and something that will survive a commute without being shaken to bits or exploding.
I've not done anything for MrsIHN yet.
Star of my heavens
Light of my life
I've been married to you for longer
Than I was my first wife
Too much?
An ode to Binners.
Binners loves his football and his Greggs,
On Valentine's day, his mind barely begs.
His wife may feel unloved, but he can't contain,
The passion he has, for goals and sausage rolls in his brain.
He dreams of the pitch, and the cheers of the crowd,
Of Greggs' delights, that make his taste buds proud.
His wife tries to compete, but can't compare,
To the thrill of the game and a meat-filled affair.
On this Valentine's day, his love is clear,
For football and Greggs, he holds so dear.
But his wife knows the truth, deep down inside,
That he needs more than that, to truly abide.
For all his passion, for all his might,
Binners needs to know, that his wife is his light.
So on this day of love, she'll show him the way,
That true happiness comes, when football and love can play.
With just a tiny tweak, that would fit perfectly to the tune of My Old Man's A Dustman 🙂
Bravo!!! Absolute genius sir!!! 😂
This evening I'm actually cooking sea bass fillets which are presently marinading in chilli, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. I wonder if she'd mind me encasing them in pastry
^^ lol, what you are inferring?😂
Apparently a new baking tray is not a suitable Valentine’s Day gift, which is odd as I am sure she said something like “we really should treat ourselves to a new baking tray” on Friday.
A simple “oh!” And a look of indifference prompted me to ‘find’ the expensive handbag that she was admiring on the Saturday - all was forgiven… phew!
Hopefully the surprise chocolate bar in her lunch bag may even earn me some praise at her work when she finds it.
Valentines isnt really done in our house, however i did write the wife a lovely poem to remind her of why she fell for me:
Roses are red
I'm not good at rhyming
Now sit on my face
Or is it bad timing?
Job jobbed for another year
I got the Mrs some crotch less knickers. She will have a better grip on her broomstick!😀
Get some from the local garage. Every bloke knows that nothing says ‘I love you’ like some garage forecourt flowers 🤣
Seems needlessly extravangant. I got a bouquet of flowers for my other half, someone had just left them there taped to a lamppost.
Now sit on my face
Or is it bad timing?Job jobbed
Sounds like exceptionally bad timing, yes.
Roses are red, chocolates are brown, I expected nothing, but you still let me down.
Singletrack feel a perfect valentines day gift for your loved one, is a bobble had and some bum butter.
The hat will no doubt be well appreciated, but you might have a fair bit of explaining to do over the other gift.
Edit, link not working… ignore my last.
Ah balls. It's the one night of the year we can't eat out
As every year, she gets a single red rose, small box of chocolates, no money wasted on a card (a scribbled Happy Valentine's Day on a post-it is enough).
This year we have a tomahawk that's about to come out of the fridge to be seasoned and a bag of sweet potato fries to go with it.
She gets flowers and chocolate, I get a big slab of meat. Win win in this house.
Our romantic tete a' tete meal pour deux is a fish finger butty and veg.
@fossy - not sure but I think cocolato is open until late tonight. It would only take you an extra few mins to cycle to Market street (tried to find info on facebook but not confirming the late opening).
Walked into town with the dog and bought card and a pot of three hyacinths from the Royal Florist (lots of kudos but I'm not paying £90 for a bouquet). As anyone knows, today is peak garage flower sales day. So I thought something that will produce flowers in a few days and flood with lovely scent (which I can't sense). To be honest, we're rather maxed out on flowers at the moment due to her father's demise, so subtle is the way.
Mrs Tired is out with her mother all day, and tonight is Club ride night...I'll be gone before she returns.
Ah! If this has any impact on who's out for usual Tuesday night ride I will be cross.
Luckily we’re moving house this week and I’m doing chemo, so I was excused for forgetting.

You have a very odd definition of luck!
My missus just got back from a work trip and is jet lagged to hell. The Pot Noodle I bought for her lunch was very well received!
Ah balls. It’s the one night of the year we can’t eat out
Or the one night of the year that you do!
Ah balls. It’s the one night of the year we can’t eat out
Statistically its probably the night when the downstairs restaurant gets eaten at more than any other.
Someone on the radio just said the secret to a successful marriage is the two of you not wanting to get divorced at the same time 😂
Back on the first evening i met Mrs Weeksy, we had a first meeting/date at my flat.
On that meeting, i made a chocolate cake.... the rest as they say is history.
With today being Valentines and us not doing presents..
I made her the same cake 🙂

I’ve warned her not to make a fuss else she gets the hose again.
The power of a (ChatGPT) heartfelt poem - come home to find MrsRNP has put beers in the fridge and a homemade lasagna on the go.
Result! and then she's going to choir practice so I only need to be romantic for an hour or so and I'm typing this from the toilet so realistically only another 45minutes of romance then back to disheveled grumpy normalness. Lucky girl.
Every year I buy my wife a fish. Tbf I do cook it as well. Seafood risotto tonight. Best get a move on.

It’s a good job she understands my sense of humour. Then again if she doesn’t get me after 26 years she never will do…
Mine to The Wife.
