if you were introducing her to one of your male friends, you don't say "and this is my friend Rachel",
You say this is Rachel In your world you may need a formal declaration of relationship with every person you meet but I've never found it necessary. |

Never met anyone who when meeting their new other half for the first time, don't bother to introduce her by saying either "this my friend Rachel" (as in friend) or this is my girlfriend Rachel (20's) or Partner Rachel (30s).
I'd hazard a guess everyone would say the same. How would you introduce you mum ? This is Carol, she brought me up for 16 years but I refuse to call her mum in front of anyone because it's none of your buisness who she is  |

"But I only shagged your mate because you didn't use the correct possessive noun. So its all your fault"

By:
Potentially, she may think that you are ashamed of her by not introducing her as your other half, and in that instance may not even tell your friend you are together, like you didn't

Had a couple of jobs translating patents and medical literature back in the '80s, but then Nigel Lawson (God bless you, sir) abolished the on-course betting tax, so that was the end of that.
Had a communication out of the blue from the Revenue just before Christmas the year before last. I thought the simplest way of explaining the last quarter of a century would be to declare that I was retired. I must say I was rather taken aback to receive a reply along the lines of "Very good, sir. We shan't trouble you again." Who knew it was that easy to get them off your back? Probably best not to follow up with an enquiry about whether 55 is old enough to start drawing the state pension though. So that's me - Retired. |

When I phoned the tax office about 10 years ago and told them my only income was from gambling the woman asked me if I had any tips. Never had any problems with them.

Got bored with working, and sorting out other people's problems.
Retired in November 2009 having spent six years on here, part time. I was an "Orange Paint Specialist", but six years of action on here, made me realise how much I had been missing! Now a full time "risk analyst" and long may it continue.... |

I was so shocked, I careered off the road. |
