Is buying a 'Lord' or 'Lady' title naff?

[BoysBoysBoysAndMe]

Just that really.

Can't decide. Think I know a couple of people who would love being called a Lord or Lady.

Would you find it naff if you were on the receiving end?

If it's bought seriously then naff, but great as a joke present.

Brilliant thank you.

As an aside, the word naff takes me right back to my school days [memory lane]

MIL bought SIL one a couple of Christmas' ago as a joke because SIL is a stuck up snob who thinks she's above normal life despite having achieved nothing apart from a clean kitchen floor and a soulless marriage

Yes.

HTH.

Can I still pick my nose if I become a "lady"? :P

if you're a lady ones butler does it

They don't provide butlers with those titles, sm. One must still pick one's own nose.

Sorry but yes. I would think it was a piss take

Beyond naff: cringeworthy. Please don't.

I've not got a title -real or aquired but I do have my own star named after me

OK< I probably don't own it but I'm sure I've got TimeShare Visitation Rights type thingummybob.

It's in Caseopia somewhere.

May well charter a space shuttle and wander off to explore my star.....

Yes, very naff. I mean, why pay when you can call yourself 'Lady' on here for free?

Not for me, but, if the person receiving it liked it then thats all that matters isnt it? BIl, got one and loved it (not from us I hasten to add )

I made DSDad Laird of his own square foot of Scottish Woodland a few years ago. He was dead chuffed!

Not just naff but chavvy.

I have a business aquaintance who changed his name by deed poll to Lord XX.

I kid yee not. I thought it was a joke (because he is a bit of a plum, and is known by several mocking nicknames), but lo and behold in the licencing department he made a legal application that was sent to me to see and his legal name is Lord XX.

I actually think he is rather marvellous because he is so bonkers!

Sis and I bought one for step dad for his 50th - did a little speech and sort of knighted him. Very funny

He had it on the bottom of his email signature thingy for a while and got an amazing upgrade in a hotel in Thailand. Hahaha

We've had lots of mileage out of it, had "Lord QOD's Stepdad" embroidered on a hat and tshirt etc. amuses us!!

Not just naff, but isn't it a waste of money? After the 5 minute "joke" what have you got? Like those star things, all you actually have is a piece of paper, what's the point?

Yes, extremely.

Not quite as naff as personalised number plates, but if you like personalised number plates then you have something to show for it.

I bought one for me and DP a few years back

Tis a right laugh

Totally.

I think it's fabulous :o
You can pitch a tent and camp, my dh loves all camping in the scottish wilderness shite, I'm going to buy him one for his birthday.
