Divorce

    I got emails today from an ex, and a solicitor, informing me today that we are now officially divorced! She was my first love and we were young and stupid but we needed to do it so I could stay in her certain North American country. So it was a shotgun thing. Anyway a couple of years later I moved home, and never really heard from her since. Then about 7 years passed until she sent me some forms, I presume she's getting married again. So after me signing a few forms, commisioners of oaths, fax machines etc., today I learned I'm divorced!!!

    Anyway - am I supposed to be happy/sad? Do you celebrate these things? Any divorcees around?

    So long as she and her lawyer didnt take everything you own, bar the fillings in your teeth, you should be happy.

    I think coke and hookers are the traditional AH way of celebrating. Divorces, christenings, it's pretty much a catch-all.

    How could you even think of such a thing?

    There seems to be a thing alright for celebrating divorces-we had a caterer in a while ago,and on the side of his van was that he catered for parties, christenings, weddings , divorces.

    So when's the party?? :D

    I'm broke till payday :(
    So all I have is 2 cans of Amstel, which I'm drinking now. Hooker would be good though.

    That's prime material for a mawkish country and western ballad. Get writing!

    I'm not sure if I know the meaning of the word "ironic" but the only person who has thanked my OP so far is called The Minister. What faith do you practice sir?

    Maybe you could have fed her a portuguese breakfast without telling her what it is


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    You glance over at the pale delicately embroidered tablecloth and the fresh flowers and suddenly a waiter walks over to you with a tray of freshly baked portuguese buns, round and hot; fresh butter and quince jam sliced in thin shining layers. Fresh cheese, hard and fragrant or shaved smoked ham or fried chorico sliced.A small tray of pastries is added to tempt you and ofcourse there is always a bowl of fresh fruit or freshly squeezed juice to start your breakfast and to finish it, it would never be complete without a cup of cafe com leite (half milk/half coffee) or a bica (lots of hot milk and some coffee) or a small cup of strong portuguese espresso type coffee that will really wake you up. This is continental breakfast almost anywhere in Portugal.

    How is a Portuguese breakfast relevant to my situation?

    Flaming Rudolph: When a chick sucks you off, you blow one on her grille, punch her in the nose, flip her around backwards, throw a pair of fake antlers on her head, light her hair on fire, and throw a rough one in her ass. (this is the holy grail of all sex acts. as far as research indicates, man has only gotten as far as to have the fake antlers in hand. however, that does not mean that it can't be accomplished.) Definition to be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual-slang .



    Now thank me :)

    Happy. Did you consummate your divorce? :pac: Celebrate by getting married again. Your ex seems to be doing that. That's what I did. :D

    No, I don't think it's for me, the marriage thing. Her new hubby is hella-ugly, according to facebook pics i've seen, but probably a much nicer and all around better person than me. But that's not much of an achievement.
    But at least I know their kids will be ugly, if they look like him!

    Actually, there's a quirk in Irish law that says that although an ex-partner cannot claim winnings after a legal separation/divorce, they can however claim 50% of the interest of the winnings.
    Its a odd small detail in Irish law that still exists somewhere for some reason

    One once divorced bloke here who had to go thorough all the legalities.

    Now that made me laugh.

    You're a lucky man to get away so lightly, **** can get seriously fùcked in a divorce, nasty, nasty nasty.

    You should head out to Coppers to celebrate at the weekend.

    Why are hurricanes usually named after women?

    Because when they arrive, they're wet and wild,but when they go, they take your house and car.

    Ah yes, my mum told my sister's English boyfriend about this very quirk in the law. My sister was raging, says he's never going to want to marry her now :pac:
