    I think it's time that they stopped all these new year/birthday honours lists it is now seriously outdated and many of those receiving an honour deserve sweet fa.

    I agree Mabon.

    How did Tony Robinson get a knighthood and Rowan Atkinson 'only' get a CBE.

    I'm not sure I understand what Adele has done to deserve an MBE....other then sell lots of records and gob-off a lot...? Has she done lots for charity or something?

    The honours system is just a way for the establishment to reward other members of the establishment. It's absolute nonsense. What makes someone who holds down a full time job and works part time in a soup kitchen less worthy? Ridiculous.

    I'd love to see them try to give Mabon an award, I reckon he'd grab the sword and whack old Lizzie on the head :D:D

    So Clare Balding has been awarded with an OBE, funny I wasn't aware OBE stood for Overly Butch Equestrian...

    Dill if I was awarded one of those medals I would piss over it and return it with a letter that would probably end up with me residing in the tower
