Well, the Jedi movement gained a lot of followers during the 2001 census, the next one is scheduled for 2021, perhaps it's your time to do the same for Telemachus? I think we should just worship nick.
I use lower case because I haven't met him, and cannot prove that he exists. I believe he does though.
I have briefly met Nick, he's about 8' tall. Having said that, I'm a bit taller than a borrower so most people look like they have descended a beanstalk to me (to be fair I was sitting in my helm seat while Nick was stood proud and erect at the tiller of Telemachus)

i actually see you for what you are. I've met lots of people like you in my life. You think you are so clever and funny with your air of superiority. Whilst really all you are doing is perpetuating "colonial mentality" I suppose it its a generational thing and it will die out eventually when people like you are dead and gone. I know there is no hope of change for someone of your advanced years, but I'm still going to point out to your error in believing that knowing more about the rules of grammer does not make you superior to anyone else. The world has simply moved on and passed you by. Oh we'll never mind. Oi!! Why have a pop at us colonials? and I certainly wouldn't consider any of Nick's traits to have any similuarites to those of people with a colonial heritage - I'd hazzard a guess that his ancestors owned the boats that my ancestors crossed over on Welcome George, if you ever do show up. If nothing else TB is a place that you can write what you think; and although there are one or two "holier-than-thou" members, the majoriety are decent folks who like to have a laugh and more than willing to share their speciality boating knowledge when you need it.

I'll ask you one question bettina. Wasn't it a sense of superiority that meant "The Empire" was seen as a birthright by the ruling class of these islands? It's that same sense of superity that is taught In private schools too this day. Whilst not having an empire anymore idiots instilled with this sense of superiority like to flex it over the rules of grammar, because it reinforces there sense of self Importance and superiority. What I say is eat the rich, because this country will never reach its potential until these remnants of a feudal system have gone. Maybe a even better slogan would be eat the landed gentry.

Your interpretation of the phrase is quite interesting. Obviously I can see why you think it means that. However to a Brit, "colonial mentality" is not about the natives of the colonies. Quite the opposite, it is about the Brits abroad lording it over the natives in one of the Empire's colonies. I suggest that Canada escaped from all that some time ago! Well that said, perhaps there is a touch of colonial mentality when it comes to how the white settler Canadians still regard the Native Americans many generations later. (I don't think we're allowed to call them Eskimo these days)

The French did that but look where it got them. Over-run with garlic and onions. And they have to put up with Renault cars!

"To this day". Not "too this day" Loads of rich people have shit grammar. Loads of people with good grammar are not rich. What you are saying is all bollocks.

Not really. I know exactly what you are on about but just felt it was time to throw an insult at you.
