    They're lots cheaper than divorce proceedings. Which, if your missus see's this, you may find out first hand! :laugh:

      What's the worst thing you have ever spent a wad of cash on? January tax return is looming, that's pretty bad. That day Camden Council towed my car away wasn't good. Root canal fillings are well up there...

            My '94 chevy blazer, what a piece of money sucking, leave me stranded in the middle of f'n nowhere, drives like sh!t, crap! It was the last straw in a succession of lousy american vehicles I've owned. I, and it pains me somewhat to say this, have not purchased an american car since. I'll get my fire suit on now. ;)

                  Depends where you wed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_license[^] - I don't think there is a "paper version" any more in the UK, just the requirement of the notice publication for fifteen days. Some countries though: NZ[^] do require you to pay for one first. The bad news: they don't expire, and you can't lose it for bad behaviour...unless she finds out, in which case you lose everything!

                        Given Griff's history of comments, I'm pretty sure she's not a member. Also, she'd have to know it was him, although he has probably posted enough evidence over the years to leave little doubt! :laugh:

                            A few thousand on a divorce mediator. Then my ex didn't like what he was saying would likely happen, we both then had to invest in lawyers, and she basically ended up getting what the mediator originally said. Quite a lot of $$ wasted. :sigh: Scott

                                    I'm in the lucky position that she is not that computer literate: she hasn't powered up her PC in about two years, and I redirected all her email to my address after her friends complained she never read her mail. :sigh: Plus, she is so worried about "breaking my computer" that she won't even dust the mouse! :laugh:

                                        I'm in the lucky position that she is not that computer literate: she hasn't powered up her PC in about two years, and I redirected all her email to my address after her friends complained she never read her mail. :sigh: Plus, she is so worried about "breaking my computer" that she won't even dust the mouse! :laugh:

                                        Oh well, they say opposite's attract. :confused: On that subject: Do you dust your mouse often?

                                        Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

                                          What's the worst thing you have ever spent a wad of cash on? January tax return is looming, that's pretty bad. That day Camden Council towed my car away wasn't good. Root canal fillings are well up there...

                                          Regards, Rob Philpott.
