Substitute

This morning, as I checked my GoogleMail, the all-seeing GoogleBrain read my correspondence and decided that I needed to be directed to the portal for recently divorced or bereaved men: “Wife’sGone.Com”, whose general message seems to be: “Okay, so you don’t have a missus any more, but at least you can afford to buy some boys’ toys (oh yeah, and you might want to talk about it with someone else)”.

    Do divorced men head-butt their dates? Look at the photo for the dating section (right column, bottom.) That can’t be a good way to start anew.

    You’ld think my wife was gone, the way I’ve splurged lately with a brand spankin’ used, gas-guzzler of a giant, manly, boat- and lumber-hauling truck. I’ll take credit for 0.00000001 oC of global warming per year, and no more!! (if you believe in that stuff…)

    Interesting that pre-nups appear under bereavement. Bit late to think about that then, surely?

    As for the ones looking down both barrels of a messy divorce, for God’s sake don’t show them this

    I had the exact same reccomendation when browsing gumtree (which I assume uses Google ads) I’ve never been married.

    It’s only children that result in messiness. Sans that complication, divorce reopens one’s horizons: the car, the record collection, the late nights, freedom from toilet seat fascism.
