Thank you - the important thing is the relationship. For my own part - the less the State has to do with my personal life the better - and those who want marriage and who are able to make it work - it is still there for them to do so. I'm unlikely to need you professional advice ('qua' Family Lawyer) but I do enjoy your take on the law and, as a fellow smoker - I feel sure that we are both likely to have something to blog about come 6.00 am on the 1st July 2007!

I was going to make the point in my post that the debate about the reasons for the decline is based largely upon the assumption that marriage is a 'good thing'.

God save us. What we enjoy is barristers and other learned types using their vast reservoir, of wit, education and bon homie, to keep us entertained. Anecdotes, pithy observation, scandal, this is the market. We can save the law for our consultancy work for corporate types. They like it. And pay well to recycle their self importance.

I do not hold myself out as blogging on the law - although I try, at times, to shoehorn a bit in. Did enjoy your post about Vanity. Pot and kettles?... yes... absolutely ! I have no problem with that. One of the few benefits of being a figment of another's imagination is that I am able to do as I please.... tomorrow, for example... I could be offered a peerage, perhaps I may even get an Oscar...It is a possibility (remote, I grant you) that I could be selected as a contestant on 'You Say, we pay' hosted by Richard & Judy (if it ever appears on UK TV again) I never know what will happen to me when I wake in the morning. One day I shall be free of my 'creator'...that day is coming. Cheers.... One of the great pleasures of your blog, Nearly Legal, is that you do manage to discuss the law.

And do I hear the sound of the pot besmirching the character of the kettle?
