Someone used to say " come here" and put his arms round me while this played.

"Partner" wassatt?

Ray.

Well I hope for you it´s Pru.

Partner covers everything, wife, husband, lifes , or anyone who has a partner they have loved for a long time.
Why are you so buddy awkward, I reckon Pru is a woman to be admired putting up with you.

I'm with Kev now.
Partner in crime, business, sport, threesome, etc. etc. Doesn't necessarily mean spouse or significant 'other'. I dislike the term as it's just too general.

Ray.

Oh shurrup ya miserable old git, just sit with Pru and listen to the words

Can't be dun. She is now immersed in WW2 and Nazis and can't be disturbed.

Ray.

Oh well, I tried.
I´m listening to some really lovely music.

Lovely Jan He is still in bed and will be until I make sufficient noise to rouse him. He's got a little longer yet.

I'd rather listen to "All Shook Up" (Elvis) than sentimental crap like that.

"I, Drew, take thee, Joyce, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge thee my faith."

I have a wife, not a partner.

Then its best of all if you keep your opinion to yourself Drew.
