Charlie Brooker on Marriage…

From last Monday’s Graun:

Nothing beats living alone. Why shackle yourself to a fellow human being for the rest of your days? Because you’re in love? Don’t be a wuss. That’ll fade after a few years and all you’ll be left with is a walking catalogue of tiny, grating quirks gleefully pointing out your shortcomings. To avoid murdering each other, you’ll have to keep yourselves anaesthetised with DVD boxsets and the occasional holiday. Life partner? Joy thief, more like.
