Isnt it time the silly New Year's Honour List was abolished?

What a load of rubbish!!(N)

 

Damn right it is.

It's a farce. What exactly are 'services to music' or 'services to sport'? Usually, it seems to be 'sold lots of records' or 'was the most recognisable player in an England side that did well'.

And don't get me started on politicans with their OBEs and life peerages.

 

Three words.

"Sir" Alex Ferguson.

Jesus.

(ok that's four.)

 

RE: Three words.

Sir Geoff Thomas would sound alot better</p>

 

RE: Three words.

Exactly.

 

Six More

Dame Ellen MacArthur
Dame Kelly Holmes

 

aye, two of the most stupid awards

one walked out on her contracts and quit when she still had a lot left to give, the other was just the pilot of a boat built by many others with a lot of support.

 

Kelly Holmes - Wouldnt be the Starter for a fecking mararthon because they werent paying her enough

**** me sideways, how much does she want to wave a flag she should do it for free, some people are just selfish and so greedy its unbelievable.

 

RE: Kelly Holmes - Wouldnt be the Starter for a fecking mararthon because they werent paying her eno

when people get agents i'm not sure they know all the offers coming in or what the agent's are asking

 

Agreed re Kelly Holmes.

Couldn't disagree more re Ellen MacArthur.</p>

 

I am at a loss when it comes to your views on Ellen Macarthur

what exactly has she done??

 

i dont know but to me shes famous because people recognise her

moaning and weeping from the big impression or whatever mick taking show they always pretended to be her on.

 

RE: Kelly Holmes

Getting a double gold in the Olympic games more than qualifies her to be a Dame under the current system. Personally, I think they get enough reward finacially & emotionally anyway but there you go!

 

Nice one.

You nearly had me there.

 

Four Words

Lord Sir Sebastian Coe! wtf!

 

I aint Kidding

I dont get Ellen MacArthur.</p>

 

Heh heh.

Aye oreight.
