[gulliver1]

I Know I should have posted this in Jokes , but I like the news section

.........................................I don't Believe It

........................................."Coronation St"..............................

Arise Sir Bill!

[ToraToraTora]

well he'd be more deserving than Pinochet's mate St Tony Bliar.

[Mamyalynne]

You're right not to believe it, he hasn't been Knighted.

[Tilly2]

Oh?

[Mamyalynne]

OBE

[237SJ]

Gongs (and the rest) should be given to people that deserve them. I don't like the system of having to search out people to give them to because a certain amount have to be awarded

[Mamyalynne]

Roache was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to drama and to charity.

[Tilly2]

Thanks Mamya. All cleared up now.

[DTCwordfan]

'Order of the Banal Enquiry' in his case.....

[Mamyalynne]

Show Gulliver where the joke section is DT, you'll both be at home there.

[DTCwordfan]

Given that the news is largely a joke at the moment, my comment is well-placed.....

[gulliver1]

Bloody heck , When will peppa pig get a knighthood.

[gulliver1]

Boris is a better actor than Bill Roach and Boris doesn't have to rehearse.

[Mozz71]

So, the question is "Why has someone who hasn't got a knighthood, got a knighthood?"

Well done Gully, you've covered yourself in glory once again.

[royfromaus]

News is a joke section when people don't even know what they are talking about.

Scale of 1 to 10 how daft do you feel?

//well he'd be more deserving than Pinochet's mate St Tony Bliar.//
Poor old TTS is getting confused again: "Pinochet's controversial relationship with Thatcher led Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair to mock Thatcher's Conservatives as 'the party of Pinochet' in 1999"

[ToraToraTora]

poor old thechair missing the point again. In 1998 Pinochet was in London when Spain applied for extradition, war crim Blair refused and let him go. Do pay attention me old china.
