…though parts are relevant to myself and quite a few others… The only link between St. Valentine and romance is in a couple of lines from Chaucer's The Parliament of Foules (1380s) and he probably meant the Valentine of May 5th. What did I do for Valentine's? Rather too much to drink, danced to Go-Betweens and Field Mice, suffered the mockery of my 'friends' and bought way too many books. At least they love me. If they don't I'll rip out their little indexes.
