You've gotta have heart this Valentines Day

For eight hundred years prior to the establishment of Valentine's Day, the Romans had practiced a pagan celebration in mid-February - featuring a lottery in which males drew the names of teenage girls - and young men (Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married) would be assigned sexual companions during the remaining year.

Thank St. Valentine's - a priest who was imprisoned for marrying soldiers in secret - that that's over with!

Unfortunately, even the most centered of people manage to lose their heads this time of year - actually, Valentine was beheaded - in profession of their undying belief that...when it comes to love...you gotta have heart!

Love Hearts - has a great range of Valentines gifts that are centred around the cool sweets I'm sure you've all tried as a kid. Gifts range from cuddly to tasty. Check it out and see what you find for your sweetheart.

I also had a packet of Love Hearts recently. Since when did love hearts have messages like 'text me' or 'email me'? and 'page me' and 'fax me'... I mean, when did they get so lame? I mean 'just say no' is not a love message.

What happened to good old fashioned compliments and sweet requests for kissing and hugging?

Still, they taste just as adictive as I remember...

Amazing how you can still easily buy these. I never liked the taste but always wanted to buy a packet with a really interesting meassage on one of the sweets.
