Decadent, hands-on, deliciously messy and more than a touch primal...with not a candelabrum or silver-plated utensil in sight. A huge live mud crab took the place of a doz stemmed roses...same cost but incomparable value! For us, Singapore chilli crab prepared at home.

Psychologically it's clever. It only takes one day a year to satisfy most women, where the lady of your life can be relieved of the domestic humdrum and receive some affection in order to be made to feel special and loved. With dogs and cats you need to remind them on a daily basis or they run away. We went to see Lust Caution - artful, a little raunchy and suspenseful - and wandered hand in hand through Melbourne's laneways until we settled on supper at Punch Lane. Perfect.

But why a six pack? Surely a slab if you've made the effort to drive there. Fiona, of course Attica is different. I'd none of the above would have been ticked which makes us in agreement in this isolated case. Gobbler, classy. But why a six pack? Surely a slab if you’ve made the effort to drive there.

Boy, a glass of wine would have been nice with the ham and figs. 14 days to go! Ange, sounds great. It's where it comes form rather than having to have hearts on it that counts.
