Robden Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Should that be Sir or Lady?? (I have know idea and care even less). But you are right Ditchy, it is beyond a joke now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 It has always been the same but has got much worse in this century. The weird ones devalue the honour for the genuine hard working charity types. I have always felt that most of the recognisable recipients are only doing their job and the "honour" is unnecessary. Over 1100 handed out this year but at least Beckham didn't get his Knighthood again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put good money on the "outfit" being multi coloured, tasteless and attention seeking. Possibly a homage to something by the late Vivien Westwood!

old'un Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 As they are handing them out like confetti I wonder if I can get one for services rendered to the farming community over the last 55+ years. Whilst I am there being knighted I could have a word with Brian about his campaigns for the rights of foxes and badgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 This lady gets my vote..Dame Mary Quant, who is widely credited with popularising the mini skirt, joins the exclusive Order of the Companions of Honour. It is reserved for people who have made a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine or government, and has only 65 members at any one time.

I don't think that he has hit his high point yet, but yes he does. I wonder if he might have been in line for the England head coach job but wanted to be flexible enough to do both defence coach and MND work? 4 minutes ago, old'un said: Hook line and sinker.

old man Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Just a continuation (in most instances) of the sad sick circus surrounding politics today? Where is the recognition for the real contributors to society? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 A good mate's son-in-law has just got the MBE. Has toured Bosnia and Afghanistan and works helping former Forces personnel who are homeless/ have mental issues related to their service. He never mentions his work and will only discuss if asked. Modest, hardworking and a million miles away from Grayson Perry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
