  (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'.
