This is rather fun.
I\’ve just been appointed as a Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute.
An honour and an ornament, not worthy etc.
The major benefit (and one explicitly intended) is that when approaching a commissioning editor I actually have a handle to use, something to say in response to the inevitable "Well, who are you then?"
So now all I need to do is find out who such commissioning editors are….
Congratulations! Thoroughly worthy!
Congrats, Tim! Bishop Hill is right: “Thoroughly worthy!” The honors are mutual in this event.
Gratters, Timmy!

Congratulations, Tim. Did you get a badge, like on Blue Peter?
Congrats!
Well Done & Congratulations.
For he’s an Adam Smith Fellow..
For he’s an Adam Smith Fellow..
For he’s an Adam Smith Fellow..
and so say all of us…
If everyone says so, I guess you’re to be congratulated. But…what’s Adam Smith?
Gene,
In this instance it appears to be some form of adjective/qualifier. Normally it is a proper noun, so no wonder you are confused.
🙂
You are worthy, and well met.
Hail Theathar!
Congratulations! does the fellowship provide a staff allowance so you can employ your son-in-law as a researcher while he’s off work?
Tim adds: Sadly not: the honorarium is enough for a posh dinner to celebrate but no more (this isn’t public service you know!). The honour is of course invaluable….
Congratulations!
Mazeltov. I assume that, like an Academy Award, it will double your asking price…
Tim adds: I think it’s a little more like on of the more minor Academies…it will double the number willing to negotiate with me upon price….or return pitch enquiries perhaps.
Huzzah !
(I downloaded the Adam Smith Primer from the IEA site t’other day, for my sons who are doing A level Econ)
Wow. Well done 🙂
Congartualtions. I trust this won’t elevate you to such exulted heights that you won’t be able to entertain and educated us with your observations.
Tim adds: that I should do so more often seems to be the point….
Tim,
Congratulations.
Now, no conspiring against the public…
Richly deserved
