January 6th: Divorce Day


Recommended Posts

Apparently, a surge of divorces are instigated in the first week of January.

According to the  Bradford Telegraph and Argus, the solicitor LPS has surveyed the most annoying habits a partner had during Christmas. I suspect that most of those surveyed were women:

On their phone too much - 25.45%

• Not helping with the household chores -16.07%

• Drinking too much - 12.95%

• Spending too much money - 9.38%

• Having to spend time with your partners family - 5.80%

• Sleeping too much - 5.36%

• Watching too much TV - 4.91%

• Not showering - 4.46%

• Expecting you to wrap all the family Christmas presents - 3.57%

• Leaving loo seat up - 3.13%

• Having to prepare Christmas dinner without their help - 2.68%

• Leaving you to look after the children - 2.68%

• Spoiling the children with unhealthy food/treats - 1.34%

• Eating food planned for Christmas -1.34%

• Not getting dressed - 0.45%

• Having to spend time with your partner's friends - 0.45%

Obviously, I'm not guilty of any of these inadequacies, or only guilty of those that I don't consider to be inadequacies (i.e. all of them?).

How about you?

I'll put my hand up to the present wrapping thing. Actually I delegate all matters Christmas to her, for two very good reasons:

1. She absolutely loves it.

2. I absolutely hate it.

BTW today, divorce day, is also her birthday.

And when they found our shadows

Grouped around the TV sets

They ran down every lead

They repeated every test

They checked out all the data on their lists

And then the alien anthropologists

Admitted they were still perplexed

But on eliminating every other reason

For our sad demise

They logged the only explanation left

This species has amused itself to death

No tears to cry no feelings left

This species has amused itself to death

January is said to be the busiest time of year for solicitors dealing with divorce. The period after the summer holidays is said to be the second busiest.

Any snipes posting on here may be able to confirm or contradict these alleged facts.

As I said to her, "I use the toilet with the seat up, so I put it up. You use the toilet with the seat down, so you put it down. I don't complain about the seat being down, when I want it up, so shut your mouth when I leave it up".

Divorce hearing next Thursday, in Haiti.

I have to clean the toilet because I don't trust the little woman to operate technological things like toilet brushes.

**OW** 'no'...... **STOP**

Ha ha

I call my wife 'half-job' 

Truly awful at house work, very messy and an awful cook

She is however very kind, funny and still a sort at the age of 39 so she is forgiven
