Honours list

1/01/2009 12:36:00 am / The truth was spoken by Rich /

The new years honours thingys...don't people get upset about them. Unless the recipient has lost a leg in a fire fight in the mountains of Afghanistan they're considered undeserved. Relax people, relax that's what I always say.

There's no reason to get all uppity about how they hark back to the darkest days of the Empire and Imperial brutality...they don't, it's just the Queen wanting to dish out some prizes to people who have done a good turn for the nation. If she gave out socks and book tokens she'd be accused of being tight.

They could maybe change the name of some of them though, let's ditch the Empire and swap it for something else. The Knighthoods are especially silly. It's just plain daft to have to call someone sir.

It's fair enough Chris Hoy getting one. If Alex Ferguson deserves one Chris Hoy ought to get one too. All those cyclist who won medals should, especially that Vicky Pendleton cause she's buttocks like a couple of boiled eggs in a hankerchief.

So anyway though, Chris Hoy may just have ridden a bike fast, but sport is incredibly inspiring. Look how mental we all went when we won the Rugby world cup and the Ashes. The Ashes was just five test matches. Can you imagine what we'd all do if we won the football world cup?? Crazyness.

If we could just syphone off a few billion pounds from the 'defence' budget and inject it into sport, we'd have a far more pleasant country to live in. We'd be far less inclined to start wars all the time in sandy countries if we were busy celebrating sporting success on a regular basis.

The generations of fat kids would be replaced by healthy little mites and the streets would be far safer if our children were all off playing sport instead of throwing knifes at each other and beating up pensioners on an afternoon. I think you know what I'm trying to say.

Carry on the Queen, Gawd bless you ma'am.
