MBE's For All!

[Trigger]

Apparently the whole England rugby squad are going to be awarded MBE's...

Jonny Wilkinson who already has an MBE will be upgraded to an OBE...

Clive Woodward will be Knighted...

woodward knighted?

this is f***ing shite. being a sir means jack shit nowadays- its been completely devalued. its just a media-hyped pile of crap.

 

[Juan Albion]

What a complete over-reaction. England win a competition with about six realistic contestants and they go mental. It's a sad commentary on the overall state of British sport.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

The system is flawed.

You should check out the people who in the past have refused an OBE etc.

My binman does an excellent job, week in week out, of emptying the rubbish from my two bins, even when I haven't put the sacks outside my house like I'm supposed to. Surely he deserves an MBE?

Have you nominated him? Unless you do, how will Tony Blair know who to recommend to the Queen?

People like that do get awarded but only when someone draws attention to them.

As for Clive Woodward being knighted then it is only fair because Sir Alf Ramsey got knighted for his achievement with his team.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Cah! They'll be giving MBEs to the likes of Fred Dibnah next.

 

[the right footed denilson]

sir alf ramsey won the the most prized possesion in world sport (apart from the sussex county cup).

its not comparable.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Nice thought, Yorkie.

Q - Who empties your bins?
A - Sir Barry Bloggs MBE, Lancing.

Who?

The "honours" system is not an honour never really has been and anyone who truly deserves one turns them down to show the contempt they should really have for them.

Hve you ever tried nominating anyone? Not as easy as it sounds.

 

[Yorkie]

There has been a lollipop lady in Yorkshire given the OBE for her services to the school

 

[marvin]

Yes but who nominated her? I bet it was the local council who get a number of guaranteed acceptances, or buggins turn, every awards round.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Can someone nominate me please? I hinder paedophiles in their pursuits. Surely that is reason enough to be honoured by the queen.

 

[the right footed denilson]

a diner lady at uni got one cos a student or students nominated her.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Bloody dinner-ladies. They get free cauliflour cheese and as many chips as can fit in their pockets and jowls. Surely their badge of pride is a greasy stain on a threadbare tunic and the knowledge that they haven't been murdered by the malnourished waifs squirting Sunny D from their water-pistols.

*relax*

Ah i suppose dinner-ladies are alright.

Here

Nominate yourself"

 

[Braders]

not filling that all out

 

[Happy Seagull]

Who the f*** wants an MBE anyway? The Royal Family are just a bunch of ****s who should have been gotten rid of years ago!!!
