There's got to have been a terrible mistake.....

.......It's happened again, the unthinkable! My name has not appeared on the Queen's Birthday Honours list, not even a measly MBE! Chizzle! Not that I particularly yearn for the lollipop man's award.

My only consolation is that, having scanned the small print of the names of those who have been honoured, the names Ivereigh, De Valero, Stannard, O'Donnell, Longley and Curry are also missing. Phew!

  2. Now you know very well they don't award medals to the awkward squad.
    But I wouldn't mind betting some of those mentioned are in line for a Papal medal.

  3. I'd take a papal knighthood over a KG or OBE ... but then, I'm a Yank, and the Constitution demands we pretend Americans accept no such honors. (Though there's a painting in the Pentagon of Gen. Eisenhower being knighted.)
