I don't think he was able to finish this sentence.

You heard: "Poor Rolf Harris."

What he meant to say: "Poor Rolf's arresting..." And then he got bored and left.

I thought this was funny, but after typing it out (and refusing to delete it because Post Whore), I think perhaps posting after being sleepless for 2 days doesn't help my cause.

Rafael Nadal got done by an Australian teenager today at Wimbledon.

Rolf Harris is having raging fits of jealousy.

arggghhh... after reading how old peeps were when they first had sex, I started feeling really shit about myself, but then.... JW came along :) 15 as well here. I touched my first boobs (that weren't my own) at 19, and my first kiss was when I was 12.. :)

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm... I wanna change my last name, to my Dad's.. my maja has a serious problem with this, but I wanna be like f**k YOU, you don't get to decide. Am I wrong to think that I should have had my Dad's last name from birth? It's not like he was absent? From what I hear, she only took that away from him out of pure spite, and then when my brothers were born, she used the excuse that she didn't want us to have different last names. Anyway, it isn't really about that, I just want some serious changes in my life. I've always had in the back of my head, that I would like to have my Dad's last name. Does she have a case to be in my face with this?

She sees it as you distancing / choosing sides in the dispute between your dad and your mum. She feels betrayed, but that is likely due to her not processing the 'dispute' between your dad properly and doing it out of spite to your dad as a kind of 'they've mine, and they are on my side, not yours'.

She has no ground to stand on. If you want your dads last name, it is as much your birthright to claim as it is your mothers name.

I say do it.

you are over 18, you can change your name to whatever you want..

forget what everyone else says or thinks.. your name is what you identify yourself by.

yours sincerely,

max power.

I'll end up doing whatever I want, without considering her opinions. But it just annoys me, and I want to know if I'm being unreasonable and selfish to want this. My Ma and Dad get on fine now. They have been separated for a long time and have gotten over their shit. But, she gets irritated by the fact that I can call my Dad twice a week and talk for hours, but I'll call her once a month and have nothing to say. I'm just over her and everything that comes along with her. She is a compulsive liar, and she has the victim card overplayed to the point where, if she was really in trouble, I wouldn't believe her. So, in this case, she has said that he had no right to have his last name as mine when I was born, because he broke promises to her. Who the f**k cares! Everybody breaks promises. No excuse to involve your children in your revenge. ugh. I just want a drama free life, and she keeps raining it on me.

I changed my name to include my mother's maiden name when I was 15. From Bush to the current WB alignment. Dad would probably have been upset if I'd dropped his name completely, but seems okay with the double barrelling.

My Dad will never have another partner lol

Mis, I don't like hyphens. At all. So, that isn't an option, and kinda defeats the purpose of making serious changes haha

I'm confused as to why you have your mother's surname to begin with. Isn't it customary for the child to take the father's surname?

Yes. One would think. Unless you're a spiteful bitch, wanting to hurt your partner. She f**ked him over so bad with me. Even with the Godparents. He chose the Godfather and she chose the Godmother, but on the day of the christening, she announced her brother as the Godfather because they had a massive fight two days earlier. She didn't tell my Dad until it was announced, and his best mate that was to be named, was devastated.

just drop the surname all together...

i know someone who did that..

they just have one name.

bit odd though... and at times annoying, particularly for online forms.. he has to use his name as first and last name..

Yikes, that is pretty spiteful. Your Dad's poor mate!

Yeah pretty much what others have said

My wife had her birth fathers last name and kept it when her mum remarried. She found it difficult in high school when her sister was born being the only one in the family with a different name so she informally started going by her step fathers last name. She got over that when she left school though and switched back

I guess now that you are an adult you want to do it for your own reasons so I say go for it. Its a bit of an expense but if its important to you then the $$ dont really matter all that much

BTW, 15 is nothing to be ashamed of. Its probably closer to the average than you expect, at least it was where I grew up
