This chap definitely doesn’t want an MBE. He thinks the whole honours thing is totally shit and pointless. If you offered him a CBE he’d probably sick up in your face. He really wouldn’t ever want one. They’re for losers. Massive rubbish losers. OK?

I feel very honoured because I’m not on the list. It means that I’ve spent my time doing the job I’m paid for instead of spending my time trying to get recognised.

I’m very happy where I am in life and the only pieces of paper which helped me get there are my indentures and my degree – and I earned both by hard work.

Leave the honours system to massage the egos of actors and sports people with delicate constitutions and inferiority complexes – for the healthier among us we don’t need them.

    I want a knighthood. ’bout time I got some fucking respect. And I’m dead sickly, so it would probably make me feel loads better. Yeah!

    jackmaxsam is rightly proud of the fact he’s done nothing for his fellow humans. Clearly anyone that does waste their time trying to make the world a slightly nicer place pales into insignificane beside the fact jackmaxsam managed to get a fucking degree.

    I hate that whole honours system thread. Christopher Lee deserves to be made a Duke, at the very least, and anyone bemoaning his knighthood needs to check into Dignitas for some therapy.

    What would you like to see as the future of the web?
    COMMENT:Keep the web free, safe, unregulated and open. All we need is a good set of search sites which don’t allow ‘sponsored results’. An advertising banner or sidebar is fine as this keeps the search engine free to users. They also need to keep porn or a well known auction site out of my every search. If I want these I can search for them.

    If you want advert free searching that’s fine too, but would need to be paid for, such as some of the academic sites.

    Lastly, work out how to get rid of spam.

    Surely such profound wisdom deserves immediate public recognition. He should be made a Duke of the Internet.

    Good to see that he’s so confident in himself that he doesn’t need to tell the world about the BSc (without honours) in woodwork he earned through HARD WORK at the University of Cirencester.

    Really I think it’s more dignified just not to talk about this. Those of us who have declined, perhaps more than once, these tawdry baubles could tell you, were it not for our innate modesty, that …

    ah shit.

    instead of spending my time trying to get recognised.

    Yeah, fair point, that’s a bit hopeless. I like to hang around outside the National Gallery and go up to tourists and go “hey, do you know who I am?”

    It never bloody works.

    The selections for this years ‘honours’ is fair, but doesn’t extend far enough.

    The Honours should honour 100% ordinary folk, not a disgraceful 72%.

    What have the remaining unworthy 28% done for this country?

    Sing? Act? Speak sweet nothings in front of autocues? You choose.

    That’s right, you decide what the unworthy will have done for our country.

    For singing, text SING to 80001
    For acting, text ACT to 80001
    For speaking sweet nothings in front of autocues, text SPEAKSWEETNOTHINGS to 80001

    People seem to get honours these days simply for outstanding achievement in their chosen field, or for tireless unpaid effort for some worthy cause. Cunts.

    The royal family have no real power and are therefore a total waste of time and money. Lets scrap them now and any profits made could be better employed in raising the pitiful living standards of the real poor in this country, the working middle classes.

    Someone ought to tell jackmaxsam that I got my various, and distinguished, elevations for just doing my job.

    It is the job of fluffer-in-chief to his royal highness the Prince of Edinburgh, and minge-moistener of the garter to Lizzy, and the pay’s crap, so quite frankly there had to be some other incentive scheme with the post.

    Buggers can’t be choosers.

    I came across some early-SpeakYourBranes-ers in the Ian Fleming book “Thrilling Cities PartII”, 1960, Geneva chapter.

    (He has just explained how many fugitive royals had moved to Swiss hotels). “There are many cranks attached to this fusty world of ex-kings and queens, including, in Lausanne, one bizarre sect, about thirty strong, that worships our queen. The members believe that Queen Elizabeth is a descendant of the biblical King David, and that she will reign over the world and bring about the millennium. This world rule will have its headquarters in Lausanne where the sect has set up a ‘temple’ over a garage and decorated it with bright rainbow-coloured draperies and a large red-leather armchair which is to be her throne. A similar but smaller chair awaits Prince Charles. Members of the sect take it in turns to fast for twenty-four hours at a time while awaiting Her Majesty’s arrival. The leader, a certain Frederick Bussy, is a bearded gentleman in his late forties who wears white robes embroidered with the British royal coat of arms, and records the prophecies of the sect on a dictaphone for typing and posting to world leaders. Monsieur Bussy is particularly proud that Her Majesty appears to take note of his requests. He told a reporter, ‘We suggested Her Majesty should choose King Edward’s throne for her coronation and she did so.’”

    A relative of our old Swiss friend?

    members believe that Queen Elizabeth … will … bring about the millennium

    To be fair, they got that bit right, because as far as I recall the date did indeed increment by a year or so around then.

    And yet these people are dismissed as if they were lunatics!! You couldn’t make it up.

  43. on 18 Jun 2009 at 3:06 pm Digger

    Because he’s a prick. Not a cunt. Big difference y’see. Anatomically, semantically and constitutionally.

    He’s a lying, self regarding prick too. Can’t get much higher in the echelons of the Royal Order of the Right Prick than that. It’s only two ranks away from being Top Nob.

  49. on 19 Jun 2009 at 9:48 am Digger

    True. True. But Phil does like a bit of “the Greek”.

    He’s merely celebrating his heritage by perpetuating an ancient cultural tradition practised for thousands of years in his homeland. He also served in the Royal Navy.

    Stands to reason.

    Still made me boke though.

  50. on 19 Jun 2009 at 10:18 am Tomsk

    One tries to have a sensible discussion about a very modest gentlemen who was highlighting his own pious devotion to not achieving anything, and we end up with Red-top newspaper rantings about HRMTQoE drinking gin and indulging in vigorous buggery with a racist greek.

    Of course, being male and not having large breasts I did have to spend a few frantic weeks cramming at the end of every year and actually pass.*
