New year honours

[dickie davies]

I’d make him “Sir Michael of Manchester” even though he’s a Swindon lad, met him a couple of times, top bloke.

On another subject, I’m sure it was Tony Henry who was nervous about meeting Princess Anne before the FA Cup final of 1969 so he was told just to say nothing. However on shaking hands with Anne he came out with “how’s your mam?”

Class, if untrue someone will put me right.

And that evening at the celebration dinner, he received a telegram from the Queen thanking him for his kind wishes

Was out right though, was Tony Coleman but the sentiment remains the same.

Congrats to Lauren hemp. Not sure why she and bright and earps are deemed more deserving then the rest of the squad but fair play to her.

Ridiculous isn’t it.

Buzzer realu is a top bloke.

I always admire the one's who turn down these honours.

David Bowie, Tom Finney, Alan Bennett, John Cleese, LS Lowry, Aldous Huxley, Rudyard Kipling, Peter O'Toole, there's quite a list.

Wonder if @Ric would accept ? :)




The biggest rejection I suppose would be Cromwell who turned down the crown after the abolition of the monarchy, he said..."I would not seek to set up that which Providence hath destroyed and laid in the dust, and I would not build Jericho again."[

That's right, typical politician says one thing then chases the opposite. Might not have had the Crown but behaved as though he had.

I would say the biggest rejection was Kipling, it could have affected his cake sales.

Jobs for the boys and girls isn’t it. Ridiculous.

Elizabeth line: Rail worker Rizwan Javed honoured for saving 29 lives - BBC News

Rizwan Javed, 33, has helped vulnerable people while working on the railways in London.

www.bbc.co.uk

Well deserved.

This is what it Should be more about in general, people that you don't know who have produced exceptional standards in public service, charity sports, or the arts etc.

Not geriatric nonces or business men who have bought a knighthood by donating to the Tories or Labour.

It's a bit like MPs - the people who want to be an MP are probably the last people we want.

The people who want (and lobby for) honours are likely the most self-serving.

I would not want to be on the same list as this lot, another reason to refuse.

Also, if I was in a band I would not want to reach No.1, as it would mean being on the same list as one of that scum as well as Glitter and Watkins.

There should be a revoking system in place even when they are dead, but when Saville was found out the honour already expired when he died, so there was nothing left to strip. So on Wikipedia he's still listed as a Sir and OBE. The system should be revised, with one introduced for reaching No.1 so it's nonce free even in life or death.

 

[ShorehamCitizen]

Agreed but when you’ve got the likes of Paul Hollywood with a CBE, it just makes a mockery of it all.

Surprised it’s not Sir Howard Webb yet mind.

He has an MBE just for referring a World Cup Final and making a right hash of it!.

He only got there because England did not and then the gullible public lobbied him for it!.

Graham Poll all though that tournament was arse kicking him and I didn't see any of the games he officiated difficult.

Sir Tim of the lifeless music-less ping-ding spoon more like.

Already telling friends not to go to his joke establishments, because of this undeserved gong and his behaviour, especially his refusal to close during lockdown.

It's meant to be music less, if we wanted music we'd go to a roller disco. As for the lifeless bit, that depends on the company you keep. Maybe if you stopped gaslighting your pals and telling em what to do then they might just chat with you more : /

I don't gaslight anyone and don't tell them what I do for a living. That's utter nonsense.

As for your Roller Disco remark, how pathetic. I meant playing in the background quietly as ambedince. Not loud in your ears needing to yell right into other people's.

It don't depend on company at all, they make no effort to make it enjoyable for the punters.

Now piss off and gaslight your pals, you most probably lobbied the Spoon Twat to have this undeserved gong. A friend of mine runs three pubs in Shoreham and is opening a new establishment and has appeared on local and national news. Does she get anything?.... No.
