Awwwww, a pink elephant!!!!!

That second one is just silly. You should be able to be called Miss, Mrs or Ms. Whatever. I like Miss.

I do hate when women get called Mrs John Smith though. That's f**ked up. Mrs Smith is enough, surely.

I'm personally a Ms because I have never understood why it's important to be Miss when single and Mrs when married and I get the odd person asking if I'm divorced because it's quite common to be a Ms if you are. But to be honest if someone refered to me as Miss, it's a non issue. I wouldn't stand there and announce "It's Ms ACTUALLY" and stomp off in my Dr Martins. And IF I ever did get married, I'd have no issue taking my husbands name cause I hate my surname anyway!

I agree with Zooo on the whole "Mrs John Smith" though cause I find it quite rude as the poor woman has a name of her own.

The title 'Ms' conjures up the image of an embittered, tired, wrinkly old man-hating harridan.

I think I want everyone to call me Lady of The Manor...

JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown's leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society.

Jonathon Porritt used to be my English teacher at school.
Occasionally he would give a 'SPAM' to unruly pupils which was known as the
"PORRITT FOREHEAD"

What is a SPAM? Or am I being an incorrigible old thick?

A Spam is a little slap to the forehead.

Here is an example of a vintage 'Porrit Forehead'

I did not know that.

Aw.

6 miles of track!

Surprisingly, I think that's the only photo that I have of an eviromentallist & former politician about to slap the forehead of an 11 year old school kid.
But I could be wrong.
