    I guess I will have to apply, since I'm his fifth cousin, twelve times removed (they threw me out of the family twelve times, but I kept coming back ).

    Seriously, as much as I would like an estate, I wouldn't want to pay the upkeep or taxes.

    All you have to do "if" you get chosen is to rent the estate out on weekends to movie/rock stars. They have lots of cash to spend.

    I'd have to see the books first. Income/Expense reports, taxes, salaries, debts. I suspect it would have to be one hugely expensive B&B to make ends meet. How much does it cost to feed all those animals, for instance?

    Only eight bedrooms?

    Hmmm... Wasn't there a TV show about this?

    One could also rent out closets to fellow X-Markers who wish to keep the true size of their kilt collections hidden from their wifes.

    What an interesting idea, but it is amazing the types of letters that have been posted to that website where people are trying desperately to suck up to the baronet. Absolutely pathetic.
