Due to a Lord's blunder. Which raises an interesting question...

Now that I am no longer a eVic owner, can I still be the Earl of Eviction? Perhaps not...and my title as that Earl was the basis for my title of My Lord (or m'lord, by the low-born).

Earl of Eviction in Absentia.

Once a Lord, always a Lord....

The position of ProVarinati Prince is open. Notice I said ProVarinati Prince, not Prince (of) ProVarinati, the same as with my title. It leaves room for other princes and princesses to join the court should they be found worthy. Although I wonder if "of the" would leave room too?

Thankyou everyone for your congratulations. I told Mrs F about the 6 months and she was like "yeah, but you're still smoking". Sigh.

Bricks and Mortar. What a Dufus :oops:
I can hear you all s......ing in the background

Really, I'm not allowed to s...... in here? Oh well, I'll just have to snicker instead. ;-)

First of all, that picture is great.

Secondly, I believe that title is not a title which the holder is referred to as "my lord".

I think Baditude dubbed me the grand pooh-bah of the ProVarinati. So my enviable choices are prince or pooh-bah!!

I could being wrong, but I think ProVarinati Prince would be Your Highness and Prince ProVarinati would be Your Royal Highness. I shall go make coffee and see if I can find how to address a Pooh-bah without Winnie coming up in every search.

ETA: It turns out that "Pooh-bah" isn't flattering. It's a pompous character from The Mikado who holds all sorts of titles. I'm sure Bad didn't know what it meant, he doesn't strike me as a Gilbert and Sullivan fan. I doubt there are that many vapers who are fans either, so you could still use it, also you'd run the risk of being called Your Poohness.

There are others:
Latin: Princeps (I have no idea how to pronounce it)
Italian: Principe
There's also Prefect, but it's not a royal title. I'll see what else I can find.

ETAA: You could be Lord XXX of the ProVarinati. Lord Winter? Oh! Lord Panthera leo? It's the Latin name for lion.

"Lord" would seem to fit, since Poobah is that catch-all for that as well. Grand Poobah/Lord Poobah

Yeah, well I have to admit, I would miss being a Lord. Perhaps I give up on the alliteration of it all and become Lord ProVarinati. I cannot think of a title that begins with a P that is not Prince or Princess....

Da wabbit is a little stressed...did you get your presents yesterday? I sent two packages out the same day, one to you, the other a while hour's drive away. Both say "delivered" but the other guy didn't get his. I just wanted to make sure you got taken care of.

Sent via the guys that made Star Trek low tech.

Good news bad news....
Iz gotz vape mail

I wanted to show these to my friends here; my girlfriend was going nuts with vape stuff all over. When she was at tj maxx last weekend, she found this:

It was $50, but the leather looks genuine, it fits the decor, and it keeps the house a little calmer...

Just had a moment....A sudden realization if you will.... I thought that B&M stores were a trade name for a General store franchise. You see, we have B&M stores over here but they don't sell vaping stuff. Just cheapo shampoo,cosmetics, household stuff you know....B&M Stores: I just thought that your B&Ms sold vaping gear too. I didn't know till just a second ago that it stood for Bricks and Mortar. What a Dufus :oops:
I can hear you all s......ing in the background

Well done Fab on your anniversary BTW. Vape On Folks.
Won't let me write s......ing so I'll describe. The missing part is the ...... you cannot use in reference to a coloured person that when added into the space becomes a sneaky laugh performed under ones breath. Damn ECF language police strikes again:mad:

I googled B&M looking for a franchise type store too :blush:

There is always......Potentate of ProVari
A potentate is a person so powerful they don't have to follow the rules that govern everyone else. Potentate normally refers to a king or dictator, but you can call anyone with virtually unlimited power a potentate.

@ Zak - God that reminds me I need to keep my juice out of the light. Granted, there isn't a lot of direct light in here, but I guess I'm supposed to. I have them in a plastic box on the floor next to my desk, so I can pick what I want. I had all my gear somewhat neatly in a drawer, but it keeps sneaking over to where I'm sitting. :unsure:

I forgot Paladin! I can't believe I did, since I've always liked that word. Not exactly royal, but not many people would know that.
