A visual representation of the results of a nationwide survey carried out by online gift store GiftsDirect testing our attitudes to Valentine’s, romance, stalking checking up and whatnot.
FIGHT!
Meanwhile…
Last week you may recall we offered a lovelorn reader a €60 bunch of red roses from GiftsDirect to complete a political themed Valentine.
The GiftsDirect staff have chosen (and cut ‘n’ pasted their selection)…..
A video for some 30,000 Palestinians married to Israeli citizens and East Jerusalem residents who, under Israel’s Citizenship Law, are prohibited from gaining residency or citizenship in Israel. The rule also threatens families with imminent separation.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we went to talk to the kids at St. Patricks National school in Ringsend [Dublin] to get their take on things… Above is the result.The highlight for me has got to be “Noooooo!! ‘Cause they’re boo. Boys smell like old socks and rotten cheese.” We even made some eCards out of the best quotes- available here.
I’ve designed 3 Valentines Cards that are up for sale on my shop (link below) , and are available in Jam Art Factory in Dublin from today. €4 each or all 3 for €10.
Irish-made stuff marked ‘Irish-made stuff’ to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie. No fees , favours, blunt-talking Valentine’s cards were given for this post. You might like to throw in a discount for readers should that suit.
“We figured asking some couples with a proven track record… for relationship advice that might be helpful at this time of year. Obviously some flowers or chocolates from Gifts Direct. is one sure way of keeping the love alive this Friday!
Last Friday’s horribly tricky GiftsDirect 52-movie puzzle above was solved by Andrew Murphy who gets Champagne and chocolates delivered to a person of his choice.
