Do you or do you aspire to hold any ceremonial roles?

[Hollis]

Currently none. But an afternoon in the pub with the local town crier in Cornwall got me thinking...

Been investigating my options - best seems to be becoming a Freeman of my local Worshipful Company.. Can't quite figure out what the admissions criteria are - generally being a good cheese and wanting to engage in charitable endeavours..

Any experiences or aspirations from the Urban community?

 

[Santino]

I'd like something that let me wear a robe. Something austere yet stylish.

If you do, just remember it's illegal to use your legal name and try and memorise some bits of the Magna Carta

Wytchfinder General

 

[Numbers]

I really want to be the 3rd man in the ring for the biggest mega-fight in the history of Boxing. I even have my original catchphrase ready for when the fight is about to start, the very last instruction before battle.

apart from that no ambition.

Dejazmatch of Gara Mulatta.

Which I believe is a career path for King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the tribe of Juddah Jah Rastafari.

Just because that's how I'd quite like to be addressed, be quite cool having people say that to you.

Doubt I'll get the gig though.

Was interesting talkin' to the town crier - economics has even hit that industry - with them doubling up to do more than one town.

 

[kebabking]

I quite fancy ending my career as Governor of Edinburgh Castle...

More of a calling

I’d like cloaks to make a come back. But there’s no way I’m setting out to create the trend.

I do think Stirling University should create a post for me in recognition for all I did for them in the 80s. Lord of the Ducks would be acceptable.

 

[scifisam]

I'm a reverend of the universal life church.

It's a really shame - I'm sure you'd make a first-class local dignatory.

It's been made pretty clear to me that when I fulfil the residency requirements, in around six months' time, I will be invited to become a Burgess at the Court of the Portreeve, here in Laugharne. No robes, but apparently I get to go on the waiting list for a field.

[MickiQ]

I am currently working on my plan to be Emperor of All Mankind alas progress so far has not been promising.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Burgess at the Court of the Portreeve

Sounds a bit cult-like.

 

[existentialist]

I expect it is. I'm always getting roped into joining cult-like organisations

Will you accept?

 

[existentialist]

Will you accept?

Yes. It's quite an honour, especially with me being a Sais, and I think a refusal would be rather impolite. And it's not as if I have far to go - the Corporation building is essentially my next-door neighbour

Judging by the scruffs I see going in and out, there are no robes. Though the Portreeve does get (temporarily) to wear the collar covered in golden cockles, and reputedly worth a six figure sum...

 

[Steel Icarus]

Daughter yet to establish herself as benign dictator of the universe so I've got a bit of time to come up with one. Hierophant of Costa Rica or something.

 

[Edie]

I learnt yesterday that there’s a long history in UK law of being tried by your peers and Magistrates that do the majority of court judgements are all volunteers. And you can be one at any age (although it’s unusual under 40). I was really surprised.

Not bothered by the fact that it's discriminatory insofar as it's men only?

I trust in your acceptance speech you will provide approprate homage to William Fitz Baldwin (dec'd), the honourable Sheriff of Devon.

I used to work with someone who was a magistrate (female and under 40 so pretty unusual I think. Also smart and kind and sensible). Sure they could do with more people like her

 

[spitfire]

I'd like to be the one who turns out the lights.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I've already reached the position of Dungeon Master and that's fine for me.

When do the applications have to be in for becoming a Hotstepper

Yeah, it's a bit weird to say the least. We should all apply to be a magistrate and subvert justice.
