I'm rather puzzled by this Prosoundweb page:

http://www.prosoundweb.com/article/adk_endorsed_by_engineer_ sir_eddie_kramer/

I was under the impression that -apart from under only extremely rare circumstances- it would not possible for a South African-born individual to use the title 'Sir' in the united Kingdom... -And South Africa did not recognize dual-nationality prior to 2004.

For comparison, Rudy Giuliani received an honorary knighthood from the queen, but -as a non-British subject from birth- is forbidden from going by the title 'Sir'.

-So I'm confused as to how Eddie is permitted to use the title. -It'can't be legitimate, surely?

He seems the type that may take license with a license.

I'm equally puzzled by Sir Mix-a-Lot's misuse of the title.

Keith,

next time I am having tea with her royal maj I will wait 'til she takes a sip and mention that I was listening to an album produced by SIR Eddie Kramer.

Her reaction will tell us what we need to know.

Well if these sorts of titles are free for the claiming, I'd like to join in.

Well then I'd like to be known as Admiral Lord Keef (seventeenth in line to he Earldom of Tavistock, commissioner for oaths and small bets placed)!

Very Happy

Why?

When I was a kid I liked the idea of ESQ after my name - until I found out what it meant.

What title befits a bunch of hams?

ssltech · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2010, 06:34:31 PM »

The collective noun...?

A flock of sheep, a herd of cattle, a coven of witches, a murder of crows, a parliament of owls, a pride of lions, a sword of mallards...

A fist of hams, perhaps!

(well, it fits in my case!!!)

'Laird of Beethrie' would be a fitting peerage, perhaps.

Who's flat? -you, Lance?

Dear Keith,
These guys and E.K. is typical of the type we come across daily.
I could also name another UK resident who also claims to be a top sound engineer & Technician as well as insisting he is a SIR, and who is of a similar nature to E.K.

I understand now in the UK you can purchase a “Sir” if some poor person who deserved the title comes across bad times and then has to sell his title to the highest bidder.

I was informed that the guy in London who I have referred to, paid

This line was used to great comic effect in a television advert in the early 1970's in England.

I think it was for a brand of soap... -Cussons' "Imperial Leather", perhaps?

The scene was the couort of Czar Nicholas, and ends where Rasputin -in an agitated state- blurts out:

"..But the peasants are revolting!"

Upon hearing which the Czar turns, surveys the mad monk for the briefest moment, before replying:

"...and so are YOU, Rasputin ...(pause)... -So are you!"

-Twas ever a favourite.

-Thanks for reminding me!
