[is that my watch]

I thought knighthood, now that, you know, no one suits up and rides horses anymore is more of a ceremonial and meaningless thing, kind of like the monarchy. A neat thing that some people like, but is largely inconsequential and just for show. I think Lewis Hamilton should get 5 knighthoods.

my point is proved ..... thanks Raza

Who could object to Dame Shirley Bassey? Entirely appropriate.

Well, I’m on the path to knighthood myself, that should right the ship. Esq.

In the EU, lawyers use the Doctor title. Even though that's on my diploma, I'd never use it in a million years. I agree with Robert Heinlein, the title should be reserved for actual medical professionals, to distinguish them from playground supervisors.

Personally, I think if you have a doctorate, you have every right to call yourself a doctor, and a JD is a doctorate. Of course, culturally, lawyers don’t use it, and as such, I don’t use it, except when I facetiously tell people to not do things that are stupid, like holding a crystal to recover from illness or I give purposely bad medical advice jokingly, like taking Demerol to even themselves out after cocaine.

I thought this was pretty cool that the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD became the first American-made production car to lap the 'Ring in under seven minutes, with an official time of 6:57.685

That is cool! I’m surprised no Corvette has ever beat that, especially one of the C8s, which I don’t like but is a monster.

GTD doesn’t mean diesel, does it? It always makes me think of the Volkswagen GTD. But if it is diesel, that’s all the more impressive.
