    Looks like a relegation for King Kenny......
    I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

    I am not a number, I am a free man.

              Just out of interest, to whom would you award an OBbmE on this auspicious day?

                I'm assuming Trevor Wishart turned down the knighthood again

                    It was an MBE they gave Orphy.

                    (Not sure of the difference though)

                      I think the MBE is the "Bronze Medal" - Gold = CBE, Silver = OBE.

                        MBE stands for My Bloody Effort, whereas OBE stands for Other Buggers' Effort

                            On a slightly different but arguably related topic, didn't the Queen's award for music this year go to Thea Musgrave?

                              Nor me?
                              (thanks for the correction)

                              What's wrong with having Lord Wishart of Heslington ?
