    Blimey, 2 years, is that all? Me and the other half have been together for 18 years now and still trying to work out how to get hitched. We've both asked each other but not got around to doing the dreaded deed yet although this year is looking better (at least I'm making an effort to get my birth certificate.)
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      After 18 years, why bother?

        Tell her you are not quite sure about your sexuality, and you need time to be sure, that you don't want to rush into a marriage with what may be the wrong gender.

        That'll stop her in her tracks

          Especially if you add that "Darren" was quite understanding when you turned down his proposal of a civil partnership

                Married persons tax allowance. Here in Germany I'm on tax class 1 which is mighty steep and my accountant suggests marriage as a very fine way of keeping more back from the tax man

                    I'm Larry. This is my brother Darryl. This is my other brother Darryl.

                    George Utley: Hi, I'm George. This is Larry's brother Darryl, and this is Larry's other brother Darryl.

                    George Utley: Dick, I cleared out that obstruction in the chimney.
                    Dick Loudon: Thanks George. What was it?
                    George Utley: I don't know but when I woke it up, it ran away.
