Nothing says I love you but I am both boring and unoriginal than a dozen red roses on Valentine’s Day. Really boys, there is nothing wrong with flowers, we adore them but has life really got that pathetically predictable that the only way you are able to express your love is through a tired wasteful cliché? All a girl really wants is for the man in her life to express his love, to show her she is understood and appreciated. It does not have to cost anything, it’s not about money, of course we love diamonds but that’s not really the point.

Here are some cheap ideas on gifts that will wow the lady in your life, seriously just pull your finger out your arse are do something special:

As we prepare to enter a new decade in 2010, Suit Yourself looks back and asks - What will be remembered about the decade that was the Noughties?

Where to start, where to start…well, right back at the beginning seems as good a place as any; one minute past midnight to be exact, on the first day of our new millennium when the greatly feared Millennium Bug spectacularly failed to rear its ugly head. Never has such a hyped and anticipated issue been such a non-event. The Millennium Bug: memorable simply for its non-existence; an excellent way to kick off the decade!

Bristol Zoo Gardens will be holding two bangless bonfire nights this autumn. The Zoo will be lit up by special bangless fireworks at 5pm adding a sparkle to Guy Fawkes Night without the bangs that might frighten youngsters or the animals. The events will also include a bonfire on the main lawn and professional fire performers on the Terrace Theatre.

Summer is nearly here - the season for ice-cream vans and holding hands, flip-flops and frisbees, sorbets and sunburn, beer gardens and barbeques. But chances are that the summer of 2009 is going to be another complete and utter washout and Vitamin D intake is going to be at an all time low. Therefore, here at SY we’ve helpfully compiled our guide to the best ways for you to enjoy those warm but rainy days and embrace the soggy summer!

- Put on a wetsuit and pretend it’s sunny.

- Turn up the heating in your house, don’t consume any liquid at all for 4 days and then run outside into the rain with your head back and mouth wide open; you’ll get a whole new appreciation for precipitation!

As we slowly start to ease out of the darkest days of winter, the thought on many people’s minds is; “What shall I do this summer?” For the fortunate, a couple of weeks basking in the south of France’s best sunlight or a road trip down the Californian coast might be a reality, but for those of us who are trying to keep our heads above water during this nasty credit crunch, staying at home is the only option. One of the biggest worries about summer in England is that we won’t see enough sunshine to even be able to distinguish the season, let alone crack out the ice-creams and sun lotion. But if you’re still reeling from 2008’s washout and thoughts of the summer ahead are anything but glamorous, it can still be fun, worthwhile and memorable. Whether you’re out of pocket or out in the rain, the important thing is to stay positive and make the most of summer – whatever form the summer might take.
