Or 'Mrs' in Tiara's case. Well then, what you need is this (http://www.elitetitles.net/) fine service.

I'm going to get myself registered as Lord DG of the Intarweb :nod:

My Dad is in the Police, and is just starting a Phd in management philosophy. When he finishes and is promoted, his title will include either:
"Super Doctor" or "Doctor Super"

Super!!!!111

Isin't this just a change of name deed? From looking at the website the contact with the HMLR looks like its to do a T/E on your property to show your new name on your property's deeds.

If I am right, and I don't think I am far off the mark, any Solicitor could do this for a lot cheaper, £5 for the change of name deed, and whatever for the Transfer of Equity propably about £150, that is if the solicitor would change your name to a title which most probably wouldn't without seriously checking out the applicable sections of the law.

Seems to be. Which is a bit odd, as I thought that aldo was Scottish. I may be wrong though.

Correctly:

Glorious Leader = Lider glorioso

and El presidente grande would actually be "El gran presidente"

He's not wrong. Surgeons are called Mr rather than Dr.

It's related to the fact that in the olden days doctors were never allowed to practice surgery. Strangely enough only barbers were allowed to do that :eek2:

Something for the weekend sir?
Like what?
An appendectomy? I'm doing a special on amputations.

:D

Scud isn't.  Scud is short for 'Escudro', which is a derivation of old Scots / Latin used for a clan chief and later a prince far-ish down the line of succession.

you're probably thinking of 'spud', which is a projectile weapon.

Golfball?  Where's the emotion, the care, the pride?

There's nothing that says 'I hate you' quite like a blob of unprepared smash at 200kph.

[color=66ff00]Granted, but have you ever watched one bouncing half a kilometer down a closed off section of motorway in the early evening?

There's beauty in that.

True.

Of course, the ideal weapon is a golf-ball with the outer white dimple-skin removed.  That's basically a rubber band cluster bomb :D
