Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

At Wimbledon, you get the surnames for gentlemen and titles for ladies. Always found that interesting

Oh yes, I love that.

Next on Court, Mr Nastase.

I quite like a bit of formality.

In my society ones elders are always referred to as uncle or aunt and are given preferential treatment, ie, the best seat, the last word etc.

+1 to that sort of thing, too. Respect, formality, love these things, but it is a generation/age thing increasingly.

It goes, arguably, a little too far in the world of Club Golf, where the Captain - sorry, Mr Captain - gets his own seat, almost a throne, in the Clubhouse, & nobody else, ever, can sit in that seat. Reserved Car Park space, pick of the Tee-Times, & has to be the one who says "Grace" at the meal afterwards. In the "formal dinner" after a Club Golf Match, everyone gets seated, but when Mr Captain enters the room, they all have to stand. Ugh.

Hard to imagine you allowing anyone the last word in a debate.

He must be older than he's been letting on.

In rugby, the ref is still addressed as Sir, before during and after the game. It's not unusual at my level to be chatting to the ref in the bar after and he'll always be addressed as Sir.(Him still being able to send you off in the bar might have something to do with it!!)

Lol. Please let that be true.

We have the same thing, all our elders are given and shown respect & preferential treatment, uncle & Aunty maybe not the last word though

In the court room environment it used to get a little much, bowing to the coat of arms, bowing out of court, addressing counsel as "my learned friend" or "Counsel" each time you refer to them, pink ribbons on your depositions, wigs, gowns and the collars, it's more about tradition and the whole pantomime of it all instead of practicality, great to watch but would get a little to much sometimes..

I've always questioned whether these traditions and formalities are needed in a modern law and if we were to detract from our traditions what the alternatives would be..

Pink ribbons? Pink? Mister BangBang, I am disappointed!

Red ribbons, please. Don't let the fact it's pink in colour lead you to believe it isn't red.

I was a pupil with 18 Red Lion court and they looked pink to me even though you're right with the red lol, I eventually realized the error of my ways and left for greener pastures...

Thinking about it,it might be a rugby urban myth but knowing how seriously rugby deals with match official abuse. I wouldn't be surprised that if a ref reported a player to his union for post match abuse, he'd get some of ban.Will find out at the rugby club next time I go there. Still gets called Sir though.

LOVE traditional nonsense!

Legal papers need holding together and a barrister gets the bare essentials from a file. They get bound up by a string that's pink in colour. In the US, it is known as red tape. Hence the expression.
