Ringo Starr

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Can someone please explain to me why Ringo Starr has been selected as being worthy of a knighthood? What the heck has this guy done apart from being a very bad drummer in the right place at the right time and being far too busy to sign autographs?

He married Barbara Bach. That alone deserves a knighthood.

Part of the biggest and greatest band of all time. Successful not just on drums but as a songwriter and singer.

I don't get how he's so wealthy when it's Lennon and McCartney who wrote 95% of the songs.

Of all the undeserving cunts who are awrded honours......the OP decides to pick this recipient??

Ringo is far more deserving of one than that utter slimeball Nick Clegg.

Quite right too. The Beatles changed the world.

Knighthood or mot. It’s a myth stated all those years ago by Pete Best fans that this guy can’t drum. You only have the listen to their music for crying out loud.
