Single is much overrated. I don't just mean hot and cold sex on tap, either. I'm more motivated to cook with someone else in the house, groceries are half the chore, and since Lee's discovered outflanking wins battles....

Hah! Single is peace and quiet; cooking what you want to eat and when, free choice of what to watch ... or not; spending as much time you like on your hobby; etc etc. Tried both, prefer single.

Tax accountant: Marriage is great! I can claim her as an extra expense, we use each other's banks to hide earnings, joint income means we're rolling in it.

Lawyer: Worst institution in the world. One slip up and an expensive divorce, and I lost the house, car, and boat, I'm paying kilotons in alimony, and I see my kids once every two months. Keep a mistress, but never marry!

Actuary: (smugly) I have the perfect situation: a wife and a mistress. When I'm not with the mistress, she thinks I'm with my wife. When I'm not with my wife, she thinks I'm with my mistress. That way, I get to spend more time at the office.

I must admit that If my current relationship ended I don't think I would live with a partner again.   I enjoy my own company and as Nobby says - My house, My rules.

I played a joke on Mrs Sunjester, and Orcs almost go the blame.

Which I object to, because if I'm going to do something insanely suicidal, I want to claim the glory.

Yep, I nearly got a clip round the ear!

I was looking at clip boards with storage on Amazon.

The Genie M800 is described as "Gummies at the clamp prevent a slipping of the papers while making notes or wind".

Can anyone explain?   :(

Obvious clerical error for "breaking notes or wind". Clear now?

You probably deserved it.

Yes, even  if not for that particular event.  ;D

My daughter went to Wetherspoons (a well known pub chain in the UK) and ordered a vegetarian breakfast with grilled tomato. Some time later, out came a vegetarian breakfast with black pudding (a type of blood sausage).  :o  You have to wonder what goes through some people's minds. Why would someone order a vegetarian breakfast with meat?

Her partner went for the full English and asked for poached eggs but was informed they had run out of poached eggs.  #-o  ;D
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Techno

That makes me wonder....Could you poach an egg and then 'fast freeze it'....So it only needs to be microwaved ? (and that's why they'd 'run out' ?)

'Lunch' at Techno Towers, for the past few weeks (plus) has been home grown poached eggs.

'Home grown' eggs are SO better in taste compared to shop bought ones.

(I just wish the sodding chickens wouldn't follow me around and try and get under my feet !......OIKS !)
