    Final word from me on this nonsense. Beckham is 36 years old, for God's sake. What has he done, that's worthwhile, to even be considered for a knighthood??
    Unless they are suddenly going to start handing out gongs for services to ostentation, self promotion, and general poor taste - not to mention his single handed attempts to destroy the English language.
    I suppose we should not be surprised if it does happen. But, for me, it would just be a further devaluation of what, not so long ago, was a special award of recognition for outstanding service to the country.

    Should be kept for war heroes in my opinion. I mean, SAF - what has he ever done to help the country? Nothing really, just won a few cups. I agree with him getting the keys to Manchester and Aberdeen etc, like Paul Lambert has been given in Norwich.

    Wouldn't give him the key to your liquor cabinet though, would you?

    I'm 19, and a liquor cabinet is not something I own :D.

    I'd happily share a drink with Lambo, but I'm actually scared of SAF.

    Scared of him?
    Why?
    He's about 82.

    It's pretty unjustified, but the whole hairdryer thing etc.

    I was scared of him as a child (I met him once, on some proper rich kids party) and he scared me. He was shouting at someone then walked in to meet us. I was about 7 <laugh>
