message: I wasn't trying to be pedantic, I just couldn't see the point of the additional link.  I know you were trying to make a point by getting rid of the extra link, but, hey, I like it.  I makes sense to me to have gotten rid of it.  Thanks, I hadn't noticed it was there. Duggy 1138 (talk) 05:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And I didn't notice the first two were there, shows how much we really look at articles. Timeshift (talk) 05:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was sure the first one was, so I checked again.  I actually saw the second one while checking but it didn't register that it was the same thing, so yeah, it goes to show how much we really look at articles. Duggy 1138 (talk) 05:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

message: We go into chapter and verse about how he prefers not to be known as "the Honourable", yet we apply it to him anyway in the infobox.  
It's a bit like media outlets that report how newly appointed honorary British knights must not be called "Sir", and in the next breath they talk about the latest doings of a celebrity they refer to as "Sir Bob Geldof".  Very irritating.  --  Jack of Oz  ... speak! ...  11:06, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: The Honourable

message: I think some mention should be made of the cute bit Jenkins did when he resumed the position of Speaker in 2010, where he was jokingly restrained by two aides as he pretended to resist returning to his seat. It was one of the most memorable images of the formation of the Gillard government (especially considering all the controversy surrounding whether the position would be given to Rob Oakeshott). I didn't put it straight in because I figured I might be alone in my appreciation of the moment. I found an image of it here: . It's number eight. Sheavsey33 (talk) 04:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I seem to recall Jenkins doing the same after the election of the Rudd government. Timeshift (talk) 05:43, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that it's traditional and that all speakers do it when parliament is opened (from memory, it's a tradition inherited from the British parliament and signifies that the speaker is reluctant to take up the job). Nick-D (talk) 06:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It actually says just that in the source of the photos ("Punch favourite Harry Jenkins feigned the customary reluctance when he was nominated as Speaker - a Westminster custom that stems from the office having the traditional duty of reporting to the King or Queen, who might not be happy about decisions of parliament."). Nick-D (talk) 07:01, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  See Speaker of the House of Commons (United Kingdom): Upon the passage of the motion, the Speaker-elect is expected to show reluctance at being chosen; he or she is customarily "dragged unwillingly" by MPs to the Speaker's bench.[3] This custom has its roots in the Speaker's original function of communicating the Commons' opinions to the monarch. Historically, the Speaker, representing the House to the Monarch, potentially faced the Monarch's anger and therefore required some persuasion to accept the post.  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 10:43, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
