They are definitely biased to a certain way of thinking, which does lead me to question their overall usefulness in defining such a nebulous term as intelligence.

I remember the BBC did a IQ test TV show, and I got a good score. “Yeah super-genius, I am!” Me trying to navigate the online holiday booking system my job has, which isn’t really complicated. “What is going on? Why is it doing this? Why does the universe hate me?” It’s a crock of shite.

This is a good start. James Timpson must have spoken to people in all levels of the prison system over the years. The Prison Service is in dire condition, and he’s well aware of it. He also runs a successful company, so knows that money is finite. He’ll try to do the most with what he’s got to spend

France has knights too. Being a republic is no barrier.

My mate’s parents fled South Africa for London because of apartheid. They were classified as “coloured,” and when you see the rules and charts that they had to put everyone who wasn’t white into a box, and what rank had what privileges, it very much reminds me of somewhere else.

That’s your class system right there. After all we only have a royal family now because they were related to someone who was good at fighting.

I understand that. My point, which ain’t really much in the first place, is that he would have got no coverage if he was Ronald Casey, the mad car salesman of Wichita. Every car comes free with a 9/11 conspiracy theory decal!

From what I can gather, after extensive investigation. Bear in woods-fine Bear on property-not so good. They tend to nick all your porridge, and attract delinquent children.

I just want people to know that Jamie Lee Curtis is a member of the British aristocracy. I just find it incredibly amusing.

Sorry, The Right Honourable Christopher Haydn-Guest, 5th Baron of Great Saling in The County of Essex. To give him his full title. And his wife, The Honourable, The Lady Haydn-Guest. Or Jamie Lee Curtis, as you lot know her.

Oh America has a class system all right. Do you think anyone would have even entertained Kennedy’s run for President for more than a second if it wasn’t for the name?

But why is it only the President who gets that? I mean, why shouldn’t Director of Waste Disposal of The State of Wisconsin, (or whatever the official title is) not get the badge for life?

They are the sole discretion of the Honours Committee and the PM. We would probably still have knighthoods even if we did away with the monarchy. After all France still has knights, thanks to The Legion of Honour, and they haven’t had a king since 1870.

Knighthoods tend to be earned too. They aren’t hereditary. Wether you agree an individual is worthy of it, well, that’s a whole other can of worms. Starmer earned his to rising to the rank of Director of Public Prosecutions. Of course, you can refuse them, like David Bowie did.

And Archbishops. The chances of a member of the public meeting a non-royal duke is a lot less than meeting an Arc-Bish. Probably why we forget about the former.

We had Sir George Young, the Conservative Party Chairman as our MP, then Sir Clive Soley, Labour Party Chairman. It’s funny, the wealthier Acton got, the more left wing it became. It used to be a swing constituency, but now it’s rock solid Labour.

They’re always doing things like that. I used to live in Acton, Acton and North Ealing, Acton and Shepherds Bush, Acton and Ealing, and a few more I can’t remember.

Oh, I know. I’m wondering does she think that somehow England managed to invade the whole country, and just took it over. It would explain why she believes that no Scottish person could really be pro-union. It wouldn’t just be wrong, it would be traitorous as well.

I think one of the guests had some sort of Damascene conversion, though not in the way you’d expect. He put on the bride’s mother’s hat and tried to snog one of the waiters at the reception. (I don’t think he was being serious.)
