LOL - A cricketing term. The most runs you can score with a single stroke is when you knock if over the boundary for six ( a "homer").

When you do assume your title you will have to become a member of MCC (the Marylebone Cricket Club) and sit with the members around the long oak table in the Members Room. You will have to learn to clap very slowly with a hollow sound when the batsmen play a good stroke. But maintain your aristocratic reserve at all times. For one- up-manship, wait till the clapping has died down and then get in one or two individual claps that can be heard all around the ground.

BTW have you decided what you want on your insignia. Burke's Peerage will be able to help you - it is customary to have an animal, insect, wheat, tree or flower, as well as some motto. A white rabbit comes to mind, but you need more than that.
