Berlichingen had been involved in the suppression of the Poor Conrad uprising 10 years earlier, and these peasants sought vengeance. In the course of their march, they burned down the Wildenburg castle, a contravention of the Articles of War to which the band had agreed. The massacre at Weinsberg was also too much for Luther; this is the deed that drew his ire in Against the Murderous, Thieving Hordes of Peasants in which he castigated peasants for unspeakable crimes, not only for the murder of the nobles at Weinsberg, but also for the impertinence of their revolt.
To attract support from Kenya's Indian community, he made contact with Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of the new Indian republic. Nehru's response was supportive, sending a message to Kenya's Indian minority reminding them that they were the guests of the indigenous African population. Relations with the white minority remained strained; for most white Kenyans, Kenyatta was their principal enemy, an agitator with links to the Soviet Union who had the impertinence to marry a white woman. They too increasingly called for further Kenyan autonomy from the British government, but wanted continued white-minority rule and closer links to the white- minority governments of South Africa, Northern Rhodesia, and Southern Rhodesia; they viewed Britain's newly elected Labour government with great suspicion.
Upon the invasion of Italy by Revolutionary France in 1796, Adélaïde and Victoire left Rome for Naples, where Marie Antoinette's sister, Maria Carolina, was queen, and settled at the Neapolitan royal court in the Palace of Caserta. Queen Maria Carolina found their presence in Naples difficult: "I have the awful torment of harboring the two old Princesses of France with eighty persons in their retinue and every conceivable impertinence... The same ceremonies are observed in the interior of their apartments here as were formerly at Versailles."Justin C. Vovk: In Destiny's Hands: Five Tragic Rulers, Children of Maria Theresa (2010), p. 277 When Naples was invaded by France in 1799, they left in a Russian frigate for Corfu, and finally settled in Trieste, where Victoire died of breast cancer.
' Notes written by Kerr and found in his file at Chiswick give an indication of his mental condition at this time: > 'Dear Dr Tuke, > I wish I c[oul]d have some more brandy: it is like being in prison to be > deprived like this of ordinary necessities. > C.K. > Also if you c[oul]d lend me a hypodermic syringe I s[houl]d be very much > obliged.' > > 'Dear Dr Tuke > Last night, the morphia bottle was not found in my room: so Mr [illegible] > refused to give me a dose at all: this, I regard as the most monstrous piece > of insolence in a paid [illegible] I have ever heard of: but not by any > means the only bit of impertinence I have been subject to.

Richard Cresswell (1688–1743) was an English politician. The first son of a "roaring Shropshire squire" Richard Cresswell of Sidbury, Shropshire and his wife Mary Moreton, and grandson of a staunch Cavalier, also named Richard Cresswell (formerly a page to Charles I); Cresswell was nicknamed "Black Dick Cresswell". He had inherited his father's unstable traits, but also his grandfather's loyalism. His father, having been disinherited, was described as "a perfect madman", "a Judas and devil incarnate" by his son-in-law, who when obliged to stay with the family for a time at Sidbury, wrote that "to live with him (Cresswell the elder) is to live in Bedlam, for he is made up of noise, nonsense, railing, bawling and impertinence...." Richard Cresswell succeeded in 1708 to his grandfather's very considerable estates, including several manors in Staffordshire, Shropshire and Herefordshire.
Katori Shinto-ryu: Warrior Tradition, Koryu Books. (A total revamp of The Deity and the Sword, combining all 3 volumes into one re-translated and edited book with additional material. However, with far fewer photographs per kata as compared to the original 3 volumes. Similarly, all the original English explanatory notes and guidelines relating to each of the kata have been removed.) > On becoming a member of the Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū which has been > transmitted by the Great Deity of the Katori Shrine, I herewith affirm my > pledge that: #I will not have the impertinence to discuss or demonstrate > details of the ryū to either non-members or members, even if they are > relatives; #I will not engage in altercations or misuse the art against > others; #I will never engage in any kind of gambling nor frequent > disreputable places.
One such visitor asked Lambert's servant to allow him entry as he wished to ask Lambert's advice about fighting cocks; Lambert leaned out of the window and told the servant to "tell the gentleman that I am a shy cock". On another occasion, he admitted into his house a Nottingham man who sought his advice about a mare's pedigree; on realising the man was visiting only to look at him, Lambert told him that the horse in question was "by Impertinence out of Curiosity". Sensitive about his weight, Daniel Lambert refused to allow himself to be weighed, but sometime around 1805, some friends persuaded him to come with them to a cock fight in Loughborough. Once he had squeezed his way into their carriage, the rest of the party drove the carriage onto a large scale and jumped out.
According to the DNB he was admitted to Trinity College in 1749, but never attended. The DNB refers to a story regarding Churchill's alleged rejection from Merton College, Oxford; this was said to be due to "want of classical knowledge", although his friends claimed that the cause was Churchill's "impertinence" in showing contempt for the questions he was asked. The DNB calls this "unintelligible" in light of Churchill's recognised academic ability, and it was regarded as "highly improbable" by the ODNB. James Sambrook, ‘Churchill, Charles (1732–1764)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Sept 2004; online edn, Oct 2006, accessed 13 Dec 2009 Churchill contracted a marriage with a Miss Scot within the rules of the Fleet in his eighteenth year, and never lived at Cambridge; the young couple lived in his father's house, and Churchill was afterwards sent to the north of England to prepare for holy orders.
Up at Cambridge as a contemporary of William Empson, Davenport was entrusted in 1947 with the only manuscript copy of Empson's The Face of the Buddha, which he subsequently misplaced whilst drunk. Although Davenport finally admitted to Empson in 1952 that he thought he had left the manuscript in a taxi, in fact he had given it to the Tamil poet, Tambimuttu, and it eventually made its way to publication many years later. Davenport was also a friend of the poet Malcolm Lowry, since their Cambridge days.Pursued by Furies: A Life of Malcolm Lowry, Gordon Bowker, pg 1 Davenport was renowned for his physical strength and willingness to employ that strength as a countermeasure to what he considered "impertinence" in others; he had been an all-in wrestler, as well as a noted boxer whilst at Cambridge, making a living for a time as a fairground boxer.

Both songs were performed again at the end of the eighteen-song roaster. This was the second time there was no jury, all votes to be cast by the public by phone or SMS. A total of 61 947 votes were received, compared to Malta's 400 000 inhabitants. Other parts of the show criticized were the division of the festival into two parts having different presenters (an initiative based on the success of a similarly organized show during Hamilton's chairmanship of the organization board), the impertinence of the media in the green-room during the show, lack of security, the short voting period, the long break before the voting results were announced, unrecorded SMS votes for clients of the competing mobile telephony to one of the show's sponsors (aggravated by the fact that supervisors were only sent to the show's sponsors), and low- quality audio in specific locations for the clients of the local cable company.
First published in The Magnet No. 1,398 - 3 November 1934 Nine Remove juniors – the Famous Five, Vernon-Smith, Tom Redwing, Peter Todd and Lord Mauleverer – are settling down to high tea in Smithy's study when Billy Bunter arrives with a message from Loder. He informs the juniors that they are all summoned to Loder's study. Loder is smoking in his study with Carne and Walker when the nine arrive, and has no knowledge of the message. Irritated at the unexpected interruption, he canes all the juniors except Mauleverer for impertinence. Loder tells Mauleverer that he can depart, as he is not such a “cheeky sweep” as the rest. Mauleverer thanks Loder, but politely tells him he is making a mistake – he is just as cheeky as the rest, if it is cheek to consider Loder to be “a bully and a brute and a rotter and a worm, and other things like that.” Even Carne and Walker are moved to chuckle as Loder snarls at Mauleverer to bend over. On their return to Vernon-Smith's study, they find that Bunter, along with all the foodstuffs, is nowhere to be found.
