Just to let you know that when I asked our friends in Seattle if anyone was willing to stand for the post of Lord High Executioner, although the initial reply was positive, I was subsequently asked for more details as to time commitment and duties required. I replied to this, but they seem to be taking this idea too seriously and I have no further response. So my idea of having a poll seems to have met with little interest.
I do think think it advisable for us not to proceed with the position of Lord High Executioner and the post will remain vacant for the time being, unless I hear from Seattle to the contrary.

I have now heard back from our friends who hope to let me have a list hopefully tomorrow, so things are looking more hopeful now.

Xochi's post reminds me of the wonderful Michael Bentine's It's a Square World from the early 1960s. Each week he would have a working model of some incredible event such as sending the BBC TV centre into orbit around the Earth. One of the events was a model of a chinese junk boat sailing up the Thames to sink the Houses of Parliament. Bentine's inventive genius dwarfed all other comedians. I do not know if any of the Square World material survives outside possibly some in the BBC archives.
