  • Hard News: My Year in Culture,

    And the Pixies, thanks Kebabette, I was struggling to remember whether that was this year or last year. Quite a lot has happened this year really.

  • Hard News: My Year in Culture,

    I really enjoyed rufus wainwright. And the Civic was just perfect for him.

  • Southerly: When Otters Get Famous,

    Mine arrived too but I've saved opening it until tomorrow so that I can be the one to read it to my girls and not the (lovely) nanny. Ooh, wonder what number I got?

  • Up Front: Staying Civil,

    @ Rob - I like that, thanks!
    @BenWilson - harsh, and mine is actually quite delightful. But I know that's not so commonplace.

  • Up Front: Staying Civil,

    Late to the discussion but never mind! I tend to use "de facto" or "partner" and it seems to work quite well. We find the trickier ones are what to call the wider family, eg, his mum is my...what? "Mother-in-fact"? All suggestions welcome.

    For civil unionists, has anyone suggested, springboarding from the Italian, "civillio/civillia"? Or does it have an unfortunate translation?

    And for the record I use Ms quite happily (necessary for the times I appeared in Court) but really hate Mrs hissurname.
