So if I met Lord Garnier the correct address is Garnier from me to him and Wright from him to me. Happy to call Chuck, Windsor, or Saxe-Coburg-Gotha or Glucksberg or Battenberg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never go anyway so won't have to change any plans to avoid him. I'll just have to imagine all the bowing and scraping going on to what is a totally pointless, irrelevant. undemocratic and archaic position. If we were a progressive island we'd turn down the offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You surely absolutely cannot think that the island is anywhere remotely possibly progressive. Well, here is a photo of a recent Tynwald session. Fancy dress is not optional Persons involved have to address others as "The Honourable Member for" rather than simply "The Member for" All statements have to be preceded by the words "Thank you, Mr. President" Reference to the MLC must be by the euphemism "The other place" Everyone who wished to speak must stand up - God knows what the protocol is for someone in a wheelchair My solution? Get Michael O'Leary in there - The President: Mr O'Leary, you must precede all statements with the words "Thank you, Mr. President" and you must arise before uttering those words O'Leary: Fuck off* [* Footnote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8Q-5IumT2Q ] 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trend was started by ex CM Quayle, who liked to think he was Manx Royalty, whilst we have a People’s Prince, who if he got presented in a line up of politicos, would be tripping over his tongue. If he was doing his weekly blog …….. he’d have double portion of cheese on toast in celebration. Not forgetting that Douglas City Council will want to be involved ……….. perhaps he will visit the Corpys Refuse Service. Would Devon Watson hold a protest, complaining of the cost, and demanding that the King gives up his home to be turned into social housing.
