    He would introduce her as 'current girlfriend' if that was the case. To me, Partner suggests same sex, Wife suggests visa requirement.

    Is one of you lot working on an agile project in the insurance arena perchance? If so, keep up the good work and may all your renewals come with rate hikes

    * which is 100% correct as they have refunded the last renewal plus a partial refund of the year before.

    That makes sense. I didn't get any meerkats at the last round of renewals as the existing provider was cheaper/similar in price.
