No he's duty bound to read it, consider it, and then disregard it.

Completely.


And from what I can tell.. he did so quite well. Excellent modding example Tex .

http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Lord-Lady-...00000008921426

I will in due course be able to supply actual law for the admin of Meamo.org to look at but in the meantime could you please give me the email address for administration.

Bill you might want to have a look at the Deed Poll Service

Do what you need to get over being right and wrong simultaneously then post about your experience somewhere appropriate

There's no way to take you seriously.

I tried to entertain the notion that maybe you just needed some extra patience, but now I'm sure it's just an act designed to cause disruption here.

So, no, I'm not bound to do anything except maybe debate with the other moderators on what to do with you.

EDIT: thanks to whoever extracted this silly segment.

I did look as you suggested on the http://www.ukdps.co.uk/OtherFAQs.html and i found THIS....

Q22: Can I have Lord or Sir as my first name?
A: Although there is no law in the United Kingdom that prevents you from calling yourself by whatever title you like, we will not accept an order for a Deed Poll that includes a first name that may result in others believing you have a conferred or inherited honour, title or rank. This is because of the obvious deception such a first name will cause to the general public. Therefore, applications for a new first name such as Sir, Lord, Lady, Baron, Baroness, Count, Earl, Countess, Duke, Duchess, Colonel etc will not be accepted.

Please do explain why they put this?.

I'm sure that Earl has had common use as a first name.

So just to be clear..... Signing up for an account on T.M.O. is sending a DeedPoll request to the UK?!?!

Now that's what I call Single-signon....
