You know that dilemma when you're a professor of surgery but then are awarded a life peerage....how do I write my name?!

You don't? Well, neither do I, but I discovered today how you write your name....
Professor The Lord, as in:
Professor the Lord Darzi of Denham was there ever a more accomplished man? Or a better vindication of immigration?

Eh? You say, where's this coming from?

Well I'm working on EThOS and checking which theses are on there, so I'm working through hundreds of PhD theses from around the UK, a vast trawl through what so far amounts to well over a millennium of academic endeavour. On the way I encounter little things that please me. So I'll share them here.
