I suppose there'd better be a story:

On how I won my ex-wife in a raffle

Easter 1987. I had been talked by workmates (the kind that blackmail you with "Come on it's for CHARITY") into taking part in a treasure hunt followed by a barbecue, all for charidee.

Grudgingly, I went along, and drove people around the Berkshire countryside, following clues, and trrying desperately to come in last.

We came in last.

And then: The Charidee Raffle.

"And the first prize - two West End theatre tickets - goes to... the young Mr Scary Duck!"

Woo Hoo.

I was single and a complete Billy No-Mates. But that was no problem for my boss.

"Hey! Scary - you can take V!"

V was the young lady in our office at the Ministry of Cow Counting who had stolen my desk by the window while I had been away for a week. We had a particularly healthy hate-hate relationship. She'd do.

I asked her to the theatre.

She said "Yes"

We got married.

Twenty-something years on, we are getting divorced.

And that is how I won my ex-wife in a raffle.

Clucking Bell, Scary

I read your blog via RSS and I must have missed the bit where you and the fragrant Mrs Duck decided to part company.

*Congratulations!

*Commiserations :(

*Delete where inappropriate

Cheers

I haven't blogged about it yet
I really should, tbh

Why?
Surely these things are private! *Don't forget to change your relationship status on facebook*
Why do people assume the whole world gives a fuck about their relationship status?
why SHOULD you blog? Nobody but you cares....

There could be a funny story in it though.

It's all good.
In about two or three years you'll look back and think "Thank god that's over!" as some young lovely is straddling you...
