OK, I admit "random thoughts" don't get much more random than this. But given that I am known to some as an expert on titular heads (or those with titles), it's little wonder that I am envious of Baron Boyce. I mean first he was First Sea Lord (coolest title ever? well, it's right up there). Then he was created Baron Boyce of Pimlico (the Preakness! okay, it's not that Pimlico, but cool nonetheless). And then he was appointed Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports (a title last held by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother)! How many dramatic titles can one man hold?If for some reason the prime minister also named him Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster I don't know what I'd do.
