There used to be a lot of good Masonic activity on Twitter, but I gave it up because the amount of chat became too overwhelming. People were generally very nice and polite. One of my twitter friends was the MWGM of one of the two UK women's GLs - HFAF. A most gracious and approachable lady.

I suspect you all know this and that it wouldn't bother a lot of brethren, but if you make a post in any subreddit, users in the sub can click on your profile to see where else you have been posting in, including r/freemasonry and the like. It's standard practice to help judge how real a poster...

Ah wait. You mean King Charles IV or whatever? Silenced by the same method.

I found that tapping on his name, then tapping on “Ignore” not only silenced him, but made all his posts disappear. Peace. :) I was therefore blissfully unaware of his return.

Is he a mason? Who knew?! :))

IMHO it’s just how people use social meeja these days AFAIK. :) The interweb is just not the same as it was in the old days. Besides, it gives us a chance to hone our Google skills. Daily advancement!

Bon soir!

He means contact Luis Jimenez Meza, the Grand Secretary who signed your paper, or the people who work for him. They will be able to tell you which countries have lodges you can meet with and how to contact them.

Welcome! Just over halfway to Kent here :)

Our organist used to pick pieces of music that were related to the character or something else about the person. One of our members was a ship’s captain. He’d come up with things like “What shall we do with the drunken sailor?” All taken in good part. Pilots get “Fly me to the moon” etc.

I nearly said that London be a strange place (I’m from there :).) I never quite understood what these LGR, SLGR blokes were all about. Nice chaps though. :))

Yes, it’s quite different here. About 6 years after the chair you qualify for provincial rank if you tick the right boxes: regular attender at lodge and LoI, good at the work, charitable, visit other lodges in the province etc. There seem to be about 40 active ranks, which is far too few for the...

The active / acting jewels do belong to the province though. Once you’ve had your time in office, it’s almost like they have bouncers there to relieve you of it before you can leave the building after the PGL meeting! The Essex ones don’t look golden like this London one. I’m guessing, but I...

Almost exactly right! I am currently a Past Provincial Senior Grand Deacon in the province of Essex, and yes, there are matching collars. UGLE has provinces in mainly England and Wales, and districts overseas. The collar jewel is actually fancier than the active PSGD’s, IMHO which is a plain...

Ah! I thought I had returned my past, sorry, installed ;-) master’s to my lodge for reuse as is our custom when I got the dark blue ones, but I hadn’t. I found it looking rather sorry for itself (don’t worry, I’m pressing it under some books.) These are standard English ones. I always thought...

UGLE has silver / chrome chains on light blue and gold on dark blue provincial and above

A quick Google suggests a G is used in Spain at least.

England uses a G. Good question about the D though!
