Camp(ing) rant.

That is my suspicion (and hope) too. If you know of any of the details of what changes are being made, maybe you can answer the questions that I can't?!

So, a couple go through registration.....they are referred to as "partners" I assume, after that, where a married couple would be spouses. Partner always sounds naff....and people introducing their business partners will have to e even more careful to avoid a misunderstanding!

A woman's title changes after marriage to Mrs, but after registration, what? If you keep Miss it is assumed you are single (as that is what it means) and using Ms (although I do) always makes me grit my teeth, something a bit PC about it.

When I fill in a form now I have a choice between single, married divorced or widowed usually. By default I always have to tick single now. What do I tick after registration - or will the forms change? And if they change and one of the options is "registered" then that kind of states something....

Finally - how many newly changed double-barrelled names will be asked for by deed poll as there is no mechanism within the law for a name change for one or both partners?

When I get asked what I'd prefer to be Ms or Miss, I simply say Lynne I refuse unless abolutely necessary to use ANY title (even on work correspondence)

Conor > Very apt "liebensraum"

The ayrian term was "Lebensraum" which translates as living space. Liebensraum would translate as "loving space"

Nice slip (if unintentional that is )

[Conor]

I think I prefer the latter

Strangely enough, I have never been interested in anyone's sexual orientation, gay, straight, whatever, I simply do not CARE...the only possible exception could be Finless with his erotically-coloured xenophobia, which seems very strange indeed

When did he show you his erotically-coloured xenophobia? Did you point and laugh?

What about the MOBO awards, could you imagine the fury if you devised a music of white origin awards ceremony.

personally i don't give a monkeys about anybodies leanings/politics/sexuality/race etc etc etc. Its the self perpetuating liberals that have to propagate this to keep themsleves busy having finished reading the guardian.

Couldn't agree more

Editted to say: Having read the thread properly I can see why people may want to holiday with people who wouldn't judge them - must be very hard restraining all public displays of affection - still if registration is anything like marriage, there'll be less of that nonsense going on after anyway! (only leg-pulling - married man joke!)
