Valentine's Day in textspeak...

Not quite Sara. I am an "uncle" to the two sets of children (now adults and married) of my two lady friends whose late husbands were very good friends of mine. I was the Executor for both of my friends when I was called upon to do my duty! I also, perhaps value my "independence" to buy any photographic equipment without losing a good curry!

There is of course "Norwich" I hope some one will translate it for you Sara as it's probably not becoming of a man my age to do so

Bob may remember
TTFN
From sunny New Zealand, where we have just had a Valentines Day breakfast

Oops just spotted that MikeP had also suggested this

I have checked this via Google and I will not repeat it here. Agree with Peter that a person of my vintage should not mention this or even think about it.Just tells me how "starved" the returning squaddies" were!

We discussed that one Peter, see top of this page

Do the over 50's still have to bother with Valentine's day cards? OR can't they retire gracefully saving their cash for some much needed photographic equipment?

It would be more than my life's worth if I forgot Valentine's Day, Nat

How about BURMA ??

Re: Valentine's Day in textspeak...

OOH, I remember SWALK. Not used that in a long time. I've never heard of HOLLAND; I think that might be used as well!

What about N.O.R.W.I.C.H?

Hoping for LOWESTOFT

Us Scots are renowned for our romantic streak
Like the Scots guy who loved his wife so much that he nearly told her

Sorry. Missed the earlier posts!

Now Nat, we all know that Sergeant Wilson was "Uncle" to Private Pike. I think you are digging a hole for yourself!!

I've now written my card, and used Norwich though I think I might regret it!!!

I'm not going to look into BURMA or LOWESTOFT. I think that will be a journey too far.

I know I am a bit late to this one, but here is a list. Beware, some are a bit risque

Re: Valentine's Day in textspeak...

Thanks Digiman - that saved me trying hundreds of variations in Google - it might be me, but apart from finding out quite a lot about the Norfolk Broads, I was no wiser!
Strange, I always thought the Norfolk Broads were ladies of ill repute too!

Re: Valentine's Day in textspeak...

Just to break the mould, I wonder how many of the male members received Valentine day cards and perhaps a bouquet or two?
