Posh agency bird
A slight deviation from the topic, but still slightly relevant because this involves an ad agency wot I worked for, and the event relates to an ad campaign launch.
The occasion: A day-long event attended by The Great And The Good from the world of politics and business, to celebrate a significant episode in the life of one of the world's most important international organisations, namely a whopping multi-million Euros ad campaign.
The setting: The interior of an historic academic institution. It's a soiree which is also attended by hand-picked members of the agency sponsoring the event. Oddly enough, most of those from the agency just happen to be the typical eye candy account execs who do a damn fine job of charming our clients' middle-aged male marketing directors.
As the guests line up to enter the hallowed halls, a female account executive is ticking off the names.
One guest approaches.
- Account Exec: "Good evening sir."
- Guest: "Good evening."
- Account Exec: "What is your name please?"
- Guest: "Lawson."
- Account Exec: "First name?"
Long pause, followed by a deep, somewhat disapproving breath.
- Guest: "LORD."

The account exec was blonde.

And the Lord was a cunt. He does have a first name, and pretending to be too elevated to deal with such matters just proves you are a wanker.

In fact, the true highest titles refer to first names, not surnames/places - she's Queen Elizabeth, not Lady Windsor.

I worked for a guy who was a Knight of the Garter and a Professor years ago. I didn't know how to address him, which took preference (Professor Sir is, in fact, correct - I was told 'earned comes before given'). I was stammering and saying "Prof... Si..." and he grabbed my hand and shook it "Oh, for God's sake, call me Ed". Now that's cool, and it's no matter whether I'm blond or not!

I would have said
"Lord, eh? Well I didn't vote for you."

"well done for being born sir"

Being born?
Lawson's not a hereditary peer.

"Congratulations for being on the right side at the right time" is more like it. You can add "and stepping down/getting booted before the bitter end came" for good measure if you like.

What she should have said:
Blimey - I didn't recognise you. Didn't you used to be fat as well as a smug cunt?
