Can we assume that you are another Geek that has difficulty "forming relationships" with women?

I've had plenty of relationships with women, ranging from a few hours through to several years. I also have offspring to prove it.

Or IR35 caught. Or possibly both.

Well outside IR35. At least until the next set of rule changes.

Or been divorced and taken to the cleaners.

Not divorced as thankfully never married. Still taken to the cleaners though.

I don't really understand the point of marriage to be honest. If a couple need a piece of paper to show their commitment then its a bit pathetic.

WHS+. And half of them end in divorce anyway. And why people get tax breaks for doing it is absolutely beyond me.

Are there tax breaks for 'doing it'? Wait, must phone Lady Tester. Might rush home for a quickie.

what tax breaks?

I get to take on the wife's financial risk but can't use her tax allowance if she isn't working. I will get less benefits if I'm out of work and my wife works.

Why not push it the whole way and let you marry your pets and inanimate objects so you cover everything in one fell swoop? Everyone would be happy then surely?

and polygamous marriages after all if 3 consenting adults love each other who are we to deny them the happiness of marriage?
