I think people need to let go of the past when it comes to marriage. To some people it means something a lot differently than it used to. Perceptions change, societies change. In many ways it's for the better since people aren't trapped in loving relationships. In other ways it's bad because people make commitments far too easily and make things very difficult when it comes to sorting out the mess and all the ties. Just make sure you make yours special and don't worry about other people. It really doesn't matter.

Neither you feckin emo's. I am looking forward to growing old if I get the opportunity and pretty much everyone finds someone. Even the weirdos. And forever young is a shit song.

Tottenham won't qualify either.

Settled on the songs, tweaking the order.

Porto manager learnt in Scotland.

I've still not listened to the butcher or the supercollider thing. Don't think I will till it's official. I don't think I'll ever look at the universal sigh thing either.

I see it that they released and album two songs short. In previous years they released a few snippets which covers the rest of the album and a the b-sides, except they didn't fit in with the rest of the album. So it's just like the album came delayed. The thing most people seem to care about is not knowing what was happening, and if that's what everyone is getting pissed about then I don't care.

S'all bullshit. Just glad I had a Swedish connection when it first came around (it was born in Sweden) so I got a free invite which means I have no limits and just have to deal with the adverts.

Coaching a kids football team. Raising a child, even if through adoption.

PM me and I'll give you some tips on chat up lines...

Which album?

I think marriage is a concept and something personal to somebody so they can treat it however they want to. I'd want people to treat it with respect, but I honestly don't care. People can make their own problems by entering into contracts with people who they won't be with forever. They are idiots and can deal with whatever they choose. Marriage can be whatever you want it to be. Let's talk arranged marriage.

I like the idea of marriage, though not in a holy sense. I see it as a statement between the two people, and also an act of sharing something potentially huge. How people use their right to marriage is up to them, and providing it is not being used in something like human trafficking then I'm all for divorce too if this suits the people involved. People can devalue the act of marriage all they like on the surface as far as I'm concerned, but when I do it it will certainly mean something. If people want to get married and divorced several times then that is their prerogative. People make mistakes anyway. My marriage, if I do indeed have one will be something incredibly personal anyway, rather than just a status symbol. I was looking recently at the differences between French and British marriages. A marriage has certain religious ties, whether you have that wedding within a church or other place of worship or not at all. When it comes to civil partnerships, in England this is only available to same sex couples and not between a man and a woman. In France civil partnerships are available to both same sex couples and men and women, however they are seen as inferior to marriages and not recognised as highly. The introduction of civil partnerships began much earlier in France, though has not progressed as quickly as in Britain and I'm unsure of the factors why. I would like civil partnerships to be available in Britain for anybody who wants one, rather than just same sex. I think I would have a civil partnership if it was available and recognised by the state in the same way as a regular marriage, as it would be pointless to miss out on the benefits of marriage (tax reasons etc) simply to make a point about religion. Obviously tax reasons is not something I would get married for haha, but it's pointless passing up on that offer. I could be massively wrong about this though and marriage may not have to be religious when you don't get married in a church, but I'm sure the state recognises it as at least semi-religious. I'm starting to doubt it now. I just looked up that there is Common Law marriage but it is seen as informal.

Bumpety Bump Bump Bump.

Put on Thursday afternoon by Brian Eno. It's 60:51 so that could be your mixtape.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience have some great drums, particularly live. High intensity.

They've produced enough in the past to dictate their own terms. They don't owe us anything and I'd much rather they'd release small amounts of gold than frequent watered down samey stuff. I was hoping for a follow up, but there are plenty of other bands around and I don't want them to burn out anyway.

:shame:

Name change again?

No London team has ever won the Champs League. Ha.

Sweet, I haven't missed anything!

A repeat result of last week will be nice tonight.

Mine will probably be an education.

Well done Rudy ! An hour long nap made me very happy.

My doctor is a **** and has no people skills at all. Seems to be annoyed that people are ill. Learned that yesterday, actually.
