The format of the English and Welsh marriage certificate has remained unchanged since the Births and Deaths Registration Act of 1837. Besides the names of those getting married, it only requires the name and occupation of their fathers, not the mothers. So is this an antiquated and needlessly discriminatory state of affairs, or are complaints a fuss about nothing – after all it’s just a piece of paper?

Tourettes syndrome is misunderstood Ìý– a situation not helped by the media’s fixation with people living with Tourettes who swear uncontrollably. In fact, only ten per cent of people with Tourettes swear - the other ninety per cent exhibit a mix of verbal and motor tics, ranging from head nods to chest beating, random words and noises – and often comes hand in hand with a range of other conditions, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.ÌýThe condition affects 300 000 people in the UK, is more common in boys, and usually presents at around six or seven years of age. While symptoms – which often peak in the teenage years - can subside and even disappear, in two thirds of cases it never goes away.

Last week it was announced that Portugal’s is to become the highest profile female manager of a European men's team - next season she’s going to be the head coach of French second division team Clermont Foot.

When she was nine, Pia was given a boys name by the coach of her local boys team, because girls didn’t play competitive football in Sweden in the 1960s. But at the age of 15 she made her first appearance for Sweden’s national women’s team, and 40 years later Pia is now one of the most successful coaches ever in the women’s game. She’s won two Olympic gold medals as manager of the US women’s football team, was named 2012 FIFA World Coach of the Year, and in December 2012 she became the head coach of Sweden’s national women’s football team. Jane Garvey interviewed Pia Sundhage last month for - a series of , currently being broadcast on the ±«Óãtv World Service.
