Another great episode. Very funny indeed. Many congratulations on getting to Number 1 on iTunes. Amazing.

So - the last time I gave flowers was to a girlfriend. They were some cheap ones I got at a service station. Unfortunately she saw the sticker for £4.99 so she wasn’t impressed.

Still got my leg over though.

Brilliant!!!! loved it so funny, ive really been given flowers its been mostly chocolates, my last boyfriend was not romantic enough…lol P.S whoever you buy flowers,chocolates etc for is one very lucky woman x.

Lol. Cracking stuff Mr M. Did you clean up the sick yourself?!

You do seem to make your life unnessarily complicated. Why not just give a pot plant?

Awwww… I simply cannot imagine a lady being anything less then delighted to receive flowers from your good self. In fact I don’t know a single (or married) gal who would not adore being given a lovely bouquet. Though I suppose if the lady in question has allergies it may not be the best idea, so I would suggest attempting to confirm that is not the case if at all possible before hand. Personally even if I were allergic I would still be flattered by the gesture, and appreciative of the sentiment.

If you wish to convey affection, though not necessairly of a romantic nature, than choosing a more “casual” flower such as daisies or carnations (unless you happen to know what her favourite flower is, then I would suggest going with that) and accompanying it with a friendly-themed note should do the trick, especially if the flowers are a birthday or thank you gift. If you are in fact going for the overwhelmingly romantic gesture than roses certainly embrace that emotion beautifully.

However if you were ever to give a woman flowers only to receive a discourteous, dirisive, or ungrateful reply then the person who ought to be humiliated by their behaviour is the lady, not you. Showing someone that you are a thoughtful, generous person should never be regretted, and you should stand tall knowing you are exactly the kind of man that any woman worth knowing would be proud to be with!

So Happy Valentines Day David… I’d send you a bouquet but I’m not sure what your favourite flower is?!

BTW- I hope your mouse problem has been sorted.

The last time I gave someone flowers they were for a very sick but dear friend. I gave her Lavender Tulips. I’d chosen the Lavender cause the color reminded me of her. They ended up being her favorite of all the flowers she’d gotten.

I don’t receive flowers as often as I’d like, but I do remember the first bouquet of flowers my fiance gave me when we first started dating. Orange Roses, which I found funny cause Orange flowers (as I understand it) are supposed to represent marriage.

I hope you at least helped to clean the floor you soiled. I got terrible drunk with a friend at a party and then we went back and crashed at her place for the night. Needless to say, in the middle of the night I was rather ill and ended up trying to clean her carpet in the dark, half drunk. Thankfully she’d been pretty bad off herself and she didn’t hold it against me. Guess that’s how you know you’re really friends ^.^;

Happy Valentines David.

You can also say that nothing says “Love is Blind” like a Triffid…

flowers are very old hat these days. I used to work in a shop, and on valentine’s day last year, a man came in with his wife and let her choose whatever pasty she liked. And she seemed genuinely touched by the gesture. He even paid for it. She went for a traditional cornish pasty, by the way, in case anyone needs tips on future romantic pasty purchases.

Happy (now belated) Valentine’s Day, David.
I think it’s fair to say that flowers are nearly always a good idea. Especially if it does turn out that they were in some way inappropriate for the occasion. Because that’s endearing and puts the woman in a position of power in which she can laugh at the silly man for being silly enough to bring flowers. ha.
ANYWAY, David you must come to America. I’ve decided that you and Robert Webb should tour here and spread the MitchellandWebbness that Britain so greedily hogs.

Great episode! You should do one about how you are part Welsh, whilst sitting in a flock of sheep.

I’ve never given flowers, though I have written a poem for a girl (one I wasn’t in relationship with at the time).

But why be frightened of expressing affection at all? If, as one of the ladies claimed, “I don’t know a single (or married) gal who would not adore being given a lovely bouquet,” we should feel comfortable doing it whether they’re going to return our affection or not, knowing that they’ll at least appreciate the gesture.
But we know they don’t. And that’s what’s difficult to explain about women. According to all known principles of human psychology, you’re supposed to feel happy about someone showing that they like you, even if you don’t like them as much. At least, that’s the most direct result. If the net result is that it makes you unhappy, there must be some really big unknown factor, one which you somehow subconsciously expect to be caused by a person liking you and expect to have a really bad result. But what? What could be caused by somebody liking you, and have such a terrible result that in order to avoid the possibility you’re willing to cast off friends that care about you, thus denying basic human needs?

Can anybody explain this bizarre female behaviour pattern? Science needs to know.

I always give flowers to my mum when i can afford it. it makes her house loverly and most of all it makes her happy

I discovered recently that there is a flower called a “Kangaroo’s Paw”. I for one would love to receive a bunch of these. 40 cats IS too many cats unless you own a cattery in which case it simply means that you’re still in business, which would be good news in these financially turbulent times. Good on catteries is what I say in fact I’m going to buy the lady who owns the one near me a bunch of flowers!

I would love a man to buy me flowers… even if he didn’t fancy me/ I didn’t fancy him. Just a ‘you looked down, I’ll cheer you up with these pretty tulips’ kind of gesture.

And David… if you want to practice your flower-giving-without-throwing-up skills, I am always available to help
