I particularly hate 'ethnic origins' forms. They want to know if I am white irish, am I a pikey, am I afro carribean etc. I just think with the anonymity of the forms, surely we should all be treated equal regardless of ethnic origin, and to ask these questions leads to discrimination - which there is in certain groups - some positive discrimination - like Irish pikeys dont have to wait to see doctors according to govt directives - they should be seen immediately and with 'extras'.
Just to take the pee (and Daniel, you may owe us money) I write that we are of Viking descent, having been followers of Sturguid the Stout, who made his way to Normandy, and we came to England as an invading force under William and shot Harold in the eye. If they insist on their wee boxes, then let them put more, they should put a box for everyone, not just some.
I also get asked on these forms about my sexual orientation - like whats that got to do with the price of fish. For that one, if I choose to write anything, I put, 'old and dusty and not applicable' or 'chaste - so none of the above'. Since when did who you rub naughty bits with define who you are as a person. What buisness is it of the state or local governments anyway..... at least untill they find a way of fixing a pedometer type thing to all headboards so they can tax us for sex - its long been said they would if they could.
