Are you referring to Betty the lady who is famous for her Hotpot ?

[bazwillrun]

Is it coz he iz bla...oh hold on a minute !

I disagree and agree with AOG on this.

If we're going to hand a knighthood out, give it to Frank Bruno.

...except - I don't think that Frank actually deserves one.

The fact that Joanna Lumley, Julie Walters and (especially) Victoria Wood aren't dames is a flipping national disgrace.

Or even Baronesses no less?

I agree with ricror... but what is the point of all these titles, anyway?

NO! NO! NO!

No, any convert to Islam is a woman hater.
Naomi, I'm leaving this site tonight and I'm leaving as I came in, on the music thread. So, I'm putting what I think is a beautiful song on there for you.
I think you're brilliant. Please carry on where I just can't any longer, due to 'people' who don't deserve to be mods, like andy-huge (head).
Hope you see this before it's removed, chuck!

You people seem to have so many distinguished titles to hand out; perhaps Louis Armstrong should be awarded, posthumously, a CBE: Coronet of the British Empire...Sounds good to me on the scale of things.

An award for those that spend their life designing and restoring time pieces.

Servicing Horology In Time.

Would fit in rather well with all the other guff that gets handed out.
