Unlikely - Harrods is in Londinium, not the colonies, old boy.

I note that 'President', 'Governer', and 'High Commissioner' do not appear on the list. Does that mean that no citizens of a republic or of the Commonwealth need apply? :laugh:

Seeing the size of that list, I'm again grateful I don't live in the UK ! One thing I noticed, mixed in with that cluster-fuck of titles, was sheik. How many of those do you keep handy to make that entry worth it? Perhaps in Whales?

Dear, dear. "~~~ ARE belong to us" These unwashed peasants are so poorly versed in the Classics*. * For the unwashed: "Classics" was the study of Latin and Greek history, legend, and language that people like me were forced to follow in snobby schools -- which obviously made us superior to you oiks.

The classics for me in that were Age of Empires : The cheat code list -> "All your base ARE belong to us"

I just want to know what they used to order the mess. It's not alphabetic, it's not pairing equivalent male/female titles, it doesn't appear to be sorted by frequency of use either. (I'm pretty sure most princesses have minions to do this sort of thing for them.)

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I wonder where Admirals, Rear Admirals, Group Captains and Field Marshals shop, then?

[Mark_Wallace]

Hardly anyone ever played it, either -- I certainly didn't!
