Line 113:
* Become head of the Secret Intelligence Service or the Security Service.
* End up in charge of a police service.
* Be a bold explorer, or a [[Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|pirate who does do things.]] Especially if it's [[Acceptable Targets|Spaniards]] you are plundering(Sir Francis Drake for instance).
* Be a senior politician (Privy Councillor status helps). Ex-Prime Ministers customarily get the Order of the Garter, or equivalent.
* Be a renowned highbrow actor, author, musician, filmmaker or TV production person (like Sir Derek Jacobi; or more obviously Sir Laurence Olivier, later Baron Olivier of Brighton). If your work is merely popular, you'll have to settle for a OBE (like [[Russell T. Davies]]). If you're an actor who gets a knighthood or above, you don't use your new title when you're being credited in movies.
