What the hell?
Just went to start downloading the Resistance 2 beta and I've got to wait 20 minutes whilst it downloads the new firmware update.

Pssst, it's poor sauce, Brown Style

/Sadly my "It ain't Halo 3 but it desperately wants to be rant was removed from B3D for upsetting the "insomniac gave me beautiful blonde babies" crowd so this 'port' (left in for comedy reasons, it's supposed to be post) has less meaning than usual.......

Is my birth certificate completely useless? I keep being told by potential employers that due to immigration laws I need to provide evidence of my right to work in the UK. I have no passport, so I need to provide a P45 which I can do, and a birth certificate that names both my parents. My birth certificate doesn't even have a space for the names of my parents, what's that all about?

[VR46]

Can't remember what a birth certificate looks like, 100% sure parents names are on it though - remember registering my sons birth years back.

[toythatkills]

Is it a recent-ish thing, perhaps? Does anyone else around the age of 26 have parents on their birth certificate? Is it just me!

[jimmbob]

I don't think mine has, it just has my name, place of birth and some other stuff from before the gender reassignment.
It's also rather small. Unlike my wedding certificate which I think could be used to keep the frost off the Range Rover.

Just spoken to my mum, and apparently she just chose to have a short birth certificate when I was born. Looks like I'm off to town tomorrow to pay £7 for a new one!

[Hohum]

There are two versions of a birth certificate, full and short. The registraar for the area you were born in will have copies of both, so get in contact with them and they can send you out a copy of your full certificate (with parent names on) for a small charge (think it's about ?7). I know all this as I ran into the same problem myself a while back, only had a 'short' copy in my possession.

On a different note:
