Yes I do this due to the company I work for having an office in Israel. I have one passport for the Israeli stamps and one for everything else.JR8 wrote:Good point re: applying for visas. In the UK you can be issued with two passports in such cases. You might use one solely for applying for visas, where it takes time, or for visiting Israel*, and so on.

Interesting conversation
Its very commonly used in forums and facebook groups related to maternity, like the MummySG.com site. Locals use it a lot too. I spent some time there during our DD's (:P)birth and got the hang of it.zzm9980 wrote:Then what is DH?

Used in most other countries as it does not necessitate marriage. Here however, it is a largely superfluous as for EP basically have to be married, same for PR etc.

It is only applicable in written format, of course

Hmm maybe.PrimroseHill wrote:Although saying other half seems to be a British colloquism, JR8, yes?
It could refer to your wife/husband, as a term of casual affection, but more probably your spouse (not married), your 'partner'. 'Partner' is quite vulgar (to my ears), metropolitan, vague, gay, uncommitted, cohabitee but not close enough to enter a legal relationship with. Half-way between girl/boy-friend and wife/husband. Limbo-land. Not good enough to cross the rubicon for.
'Other half' is also a nod to the expected expectations within a relationship. 'Yeah I'd love to go down Boat Quay tonight and lash it up, three times in a week though, the other half would kill me, lol!'. ....
