Prime minister! Oh, but I thought all lost until this moment; the uncouth hordes have run amok in your absence. Do sit down and pour yourself some Earl while I have Jeeves fetch the others. We have much to discuss, not least the other 'gentlemen's club' which bids to steal our thunder...
Oh my, it's true. You're back. I came as fast as I could mr prime minister, and it's delightful to see you again sir dos. We must have a celebratory cup of earl grey, with scrumpets and scones.
Now gentlemen, I think you'll all agree that some measure is required to refresh the ranks around here, and to generally keep the place lively. This is why I am proposing a 'Quintessential Englishman' competition. Simply demonstrate, by whatever means you should fancy, why you are of higher stock and munificence than your fellow man, be that by customs upheld or family lineage.
I must say dear sirs, this place has been awfully quiet. It's in high interest I wish this club to be active once again.
That said, let's all have some wonderful Earl Grey with scrumpets, it's on me old chaps.
This idea with the ranks sound jolly good, I myself come from a long line of counts and is therefore one as well, the land that my house is on and the woods surrounding it has been my families land for many many generations.
I am positively chuffed to see you two gentlemen in attendance. We've not had such a fine contingent since the glory days. Do sit down and make yourselves comfortable.
I've been meaning to discuss another proposition of mine. It occurred to me that we are a Gentlemen's club without...well, a 'Gentlemen's Club'. It would only be high class ladies, of course, but with enough leg showing to have the King up in arms (and other places, ho hum). It's a bit out of usual character, but what do you think? We would need to do some recruiting...
[font=Verdana][color=green]Thank you, my fellow fine sir.
Yes, as I have stated, I have information. According to my information, it appears that the finer sex are quite partial to having us gentlemen be in suits. Therefore, I believe that us having a Suit Day, and promoting this day to other members of the forums might increase this Club's popularity. On this day, we shall post pictures of very fine suits and discuss these suits at length, whilst having generous amounts of whiskey to grease the proceedings. At this moment in time, our club needs more awareness.
Your proposition is a very fine proposition, my fellow sir. We must, however, have to ensure that these new females don't try to have too much influence in out club; it is a Gentlemans' Club after all.
I like the cut of your jib, Ravster. This is a fine idea. I feel we should divulge it to the others and attract some support before pressing on, though.
[font=Verdana][color=green]Gentlemen; I cannot allow this thread to sink any further down the list. I will do my utmost to ensure that this thread stays on the front page, for now.
I am similarly inclined to keep it at the forefront of the forum, until such time as other gentlemen join our noble cause and deliberate our grand schemes. Tally ho chaps.
[font=Verdana][color=green]Gentlemen! Whilst myself and Dos Esquire are indeed Englishmen, perhaps it could be said Quintessentially English, we simply cannot achieve our noble cause's aims without more help.
Whilst more Gentlemen of the forums make their way here, I will sit over here, with a glass of gin, whilst reading the Daily Telegraph, smoking from my mahogany pipe and eating some buttered crumpets.
