They are far too common and handed out for no apparent reason much of the time to really mean anything.

I dont think anyone in labour or national should get any sort of 'royal' honor, since labour previously got rid of Knighthoods & Nats wanted to get rid of the flags link to UK.

1450277 2018-06-04 23:37:00 I was gonna comment, but that seemed to sum it up. Don't forget about the bonsai tree groomer. He/she got one too.

I thought your Bonsai reference was a leg-pull but NO here it is. :eek:

Beverley Doreen Van - For services to bonsai.

And here is another.

Heather Christine Aitken - For services to karate. :rolleyes:

Anyone found one for Line Dancing yet? :D

1450278 2018-06-05 01:10:00 Seriously, we must be the laughing stock of the Commonwealth issuing Gongs for Sex Workers, Quilt Workers and MP’s. :rolleyes:

Frankly, I’m now glad I didn’t find my name among that lot. :D
Didn't you get an award for services to curmudgeonry?:)

1450279 2018-06-05 01:57:00 I had an uncharitable thought this morning. As you know, National fell all over themselves to reinstate the colonial awards system once they got their bums on the Treasury benches. Is it possible that now Labour is back in power, they decided to have a bit of fun and put Key in his rightful place alongside a sex worker, a quilt maker, and an underwater weaver of macrame lamp shades if they could find one. Double Dipton as well. Two birds with one stone. They wouldn't, would they? John H (8)

That's two of us guilty of uncharitable thoughts.

The scenario has 2H written all over it - the nasty side of the Labour Party personified, and a more vindictive person one can't begin to imagine.

1450281 2018-06-05 04:14:00 Whilst rolling on the floor laughing at this farce, the fact hit me that all these nominations were presented to the Queen, for approval, by our Prime Minister. :eek:

What must the Queen have been thinking as she rubber stamped them?

(have they gone completely mad in the Antipodes perhaps)

So what will the Prime Minister do for her next mad act, that is the question? :confused:

Nahhhh, useless sods! :(

But I’m hoping to get my “gong” in the Queens New Year Honours list. :)
