    First time I've ever encountered this. I thought the hyphenated names were the perfect solution for the kids, not adults.

    Was wondering who "ex kiwi league international " Robbie Hunter-Paul was...

    *Hunter-Paul is well placed to comment on Super League impact.

    The Aucklander - best known in New Zealand as Robbie Paul before hyphenating his name when he married Lisa Hunter in 2010 – spent his entire 19-year professional career in England.*

    From an article on stuff talking up SBW

    What if two people with hyphenated names get married and want to... hyphenate? Do they end up with 4 surnames? And then their kids end up with 8? 16? 32?

    It's a stupid idea.

    Both parents hyphenating is, but children adopting hyphenated names works perfectly well for hundreds of millions of people.

    BBC breakfast this morning is mostly some Keifer Sutherland lookalike awkwardly stalking the red carpet outside the Oscars after party.

    Is this the bizarre out of touch state of the media where they think this is the kind of breakfast TV we want to see or am I the one that's out of touch?

    At least in between cuts to the red carpet we can talk about diversity.

    I saw that - clearly an 'expectation vs reality' picture 😃

    What! A decent in-touch opinion piece from Stuff?!

    ...well its from The Telegraph but some slight kudos for reposting something that isn't complete sycophantic celeb dribble.

    I'm just glad in his case I can still seperate the art from the artist. Will be seeing him live in a couple weeks..ear plugs might be necessary if he's gonna do a sermon during the show.

    have to be pretty old school to consider putting something like this in media...alternatively, if it has been a hard to fill role, this will generate alot of publicity, so might end up in front of the right couple, so a marketing ploy...😂

    That’s fascinating.

    People who recline their seats are utter fluffybunnies

    Slight more tolerance on an overnight long flight. But domestic? Fuck off

    Even at my height that results in fuck all room

    Seat reclining might have been not so bad in the past, but nowadays people are packed in like sardines and it's just shit.

    God I wish Kate Hawkesby would fuck off. She is the epitome of Karen Wishes to Speak to the Manager.

    I only recline when the person in front reclines. Unfortunately this poor bugger is in the end seat that doesn't. Would be interesting to get his side of the story, did he try talking to her about it or did he go right for the childish antics.
