Let me just direct you back to the Sugar scenario.

Call him Sir. Or if that offends you, Alan. Or don't refer to a name or title at all when speaking with him. No harm whatsoever shall befall you for doing so if you don't want to play the game.

When I'm the Earl of Armpitshire, you can still call me Bernard. Or, which I'm sure you do anyway behind my back, smelly chump face ;)

How do you know? So if candidate A calls him Lord and candidate B refers to him as Al, you can honestly say that one won't be held in preference over the other?

I don't care if anyone prefers it or not. It's you with the hang up on it - perhaps 'comrade' or 'brother' would be more to your liking?

Anyway, this is supposed to be a light hearted josh about which phoney title I should spend twenty quid on for a laugh. Just a few days ago Shaun issued instructions about where to go for 'proper' arguments or discussions.

OK, sorry - I get you, the difference is whether or not they agree. Fair point, but I still don't think that The Apprentice candidates are acting under free will, I mean I still believe thet they feel they should call him Lord.

Calm down, I'm exploring something - sorry if its ruined your light hearted josh but some things spring from others, that's not my fault. I'm quite happy to stop if the mods say so but it is quite interesting and nobody has really come up with an explanation of what the point of any of these titles are, save for academic willy waving.

Is there any likelihood I might find a title that gives me the right to help myself to virgins of the manor on their 16th Birthday or some such? Are there any virgins left by the time folk have turned 16?

Are you replying to me or just throwing that out there? :whistle:

It is interesting, and I'm sure quite a few members could offer some input on the history of such titles and their change of use over time and whether they serve much of a purpose - but as this thread is just a bit of random silliness I'd suggest starting a new one to explore titles in more detail. :okay:

Cheers,
Shaun :biggrin:

You do know it's just a television programme don't you? You do know it's all edited and reshot? You do know it's not for real?

Why not The Earl of Sandwich or The Baron Strange ?
