(Top posting corrected, as it makes the baby Jesus cry).
I was thinking of 'The powers that be'.
But if you have a slow afternoon, go look up the difference between
'continuously' and 'continually' and the correct usage of each :-)
Or watch an episode of the UK TV series 'Morse', if it is on one of the
plethora of channels you can get over there.
His never-used first name turns out to be 'Endeavour'.
