what was your favourite abuse of Scots? mine was when Hadrian built that sick loving wall to keep them out of our glorious Roman Empire. :smuggo:

Er excuse me? Hadrian's wall was basically an appeasement, ceding vast amounts of territory that rightfully belonged to the Civilised Peoples of Rome to those uppity northern barbs. Antoninus' wall is the correct one :smuggo:

You could compare the party leaders to various sausages if you like. Like Cameron is a cumberland sausage, all coiled up like a turd

I get the feeling if Cameron wanted sausages he would get chipolatas. Not a proper, decent British banger, one of those thin slimy things that are unworthy of being placed anywhere near mash.

Chipolatas are essential at christmas if they're slimy its because you're cooking them wrong.

get your poo poo straight.

As were the English. In fact, if you look at the history of the language it's more accurate to say that the people of Britain have stolen all kinds of words from the people who came to abuse them, not the other way round. Which should come as no surprise to anyone - when you conquer a people you do it to impose your culture and language on them, not the other way round.

Maybe the TV is picking up signals from the even more dystopian mirror universe where Birmingham really is a Muslim state enclave patrolled by gangs of Islamic police who beat people up with their big curvy swords and talk about camels a lot and other stereotypes from the 1920's.

Edit: Obviously we need a modern T.E Lawrence to go and incite a revolt to reclaim it for the crown.

As someone who lives in wolverhampton, I am always living in fear that the IS fighters from birmingham will come over and enforce strict jihad in my city. I mean, they are already trying it by merging all the local councils in to one super council! It all makes sense, really. Soon all Mecca bingo halls will have to face East and cars will have to wear burkas.

I thought Wolverhampton was more a place that someone would hole up in, dwell in or drift through rather than attempt to live in. I remember it being listed as one of the worst cities in the world by Lonely Planet a few years back. I can't see how the Caliphate could make more of a mess of it.

You're pretty much right. The Tories don't want either humanist marriage or mixed-sex civil partnerships because Lynton says so. The Scottish government has the right to implement them through secondary legislation, but they're still working on it.

There's been no traction on people from other jurisdictions converting their civil partnerships to marriage, either, to the chagrin of some Northern Irish couples.

I went to my first Humanist wedding on the weekend, it was lovely and made me really jealous we don't have it as a legal ceremony down here :3:

Same reason as why you can't have a mixed-sex civil union: because it would undermine the sanctity of the Anglican church to define what is and isn't marriage.

You can have a ceremony but it won't be legally binding; you have to have a registry office ceremony first.

I have absolutely no idea why you can't have a legally binding one. You can in Scotland and you can have a loving legally binding Scientologist wedding in England/Wales if you bloody want. It's some idiocy about humanism not being a religious body and that being the legal line on who can and can't conduct legal ceremonies.
