Emma Raducanu was recently awarded an MBE for services to winning one tournament and fuck all else other than a shedload of cash.
(When it comes to Emma, “honour” is where I’d like to be – NA)

I have nothing against Emma as a person. And her achievement winning the US Open at the age of 18 a year or so ago is quite remarkable in itself.

However, to be awarded an MBE purely based on that one achievement seems rather premature in my book. For “ordinary” people it could take decades of self-sacrifice and/or voluntary work to be even remotely considered for an honour. And in fact there are probably many well known faces that have done lots of good over the years who have been repeatedly overlooked for one reason or another.

The Honours system as a whole has always been a farce with the usual politicians, civil servants and other high ranking pen pushers receiving knighthoods for basically just doing their jobs and getting paid handsomely in doing so. (And let us not forget Tony “fuckface” Blair being awarded the Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter earlier this year!)

Moreover, there have been continuous widespread calls to have the Honours system abolished, not least because it is seen as far from egalitarian and has tenuous links to Britain’s colonial past. (As an aside I always find it quite amusing when race baiting cunts like Lenny Henry and Marcus Rashford moan about the old Empire, and yet are all too willing to accept honours associated with … err, the old Empire!)

I don’t know if or when this nomination will be published, but the New Year’s Honours are due to be announced at the backend of December or early January. No doubt there will be the usual faceless/chinless wonders awarded knighthoods and z-list celebs awarded OBEs or MBEs for simply doing their well-paid jobs!

Ideally the Honours system along with the House of Lords should both either be abolished or reformed. (Although what Lord Fiddler would think after being downsized to just a “Mr” I shudder to think!)

As predicted, d.yke sub schoolboy standard footballerists win MBE’s-presumably that stands for Minge Biting Extremests?

Crazy haired, star gazing guitarist Brian May is Knighted-for the prevention of Bovine TB control, possibly.

Read em and weep?

They were on their way to America on their ‘freedom flight’.

‘After settling into her seat, Meghan recalled how the head of the plane crew knelt down next to her and gave her some encouraging words.
She explained: ‘He took his hat off and I just remember looking at him.
‘And he goes, “We appreciate everything you did for our country.”‘
Discussing the emotional impact it had on her, Meghan continued: ‘It was the first time that I felt like someone saw the sacrifice.’

‘he took his hat off’ is that suggestive of ‘doffing’ it’? Or the deep respect ‘the head of the plane crew’ (the Captain you mean?) had for her?

‘he knelt down next to her’. Was he going to plead for her not to go?

I wonder did the whole ‘plane crew’ consider bursting into KC and the Sunshine Band at this point -?Please don’t go, please don’t go, dont go away…?

Not quite. But ‘We appreciate everything you did for our country.’ Wow that’s something. What a thing.

Meghan ‘It was the first time that I felt like someone saw the sacrifice.’

That word sacrifice. A sacrifice in war say. Giving your life for your fellow soldiers.

Meghan’s sacrifice. Leaving a privileged lifestyle for yet a more privileged lifestyle.

It’s that time of year when perfume/eau de toilette adverts are most prominent.
Let’s cut to the chase – (puts on America southern drawl accent) I do declare that perfume adverts are some of the most pretentious, cuntwaffle I ever did see.

In the red corner we have Johnny (I let my missus shit on my bed) Depp trying to make out that he’s some sort of macho, one of the wolf pack, frustrated rock guitarist, rebel hawiking perfume.

Let me just say that I would never buy aftershave from a bloke who’s girlfriend shits on his bed. For some reason I think it will probably smell like shit.

Then we have all the others. I remember the Brad Pitt Chanel advert and the Natalie Portman perfume advert.

I will not be bought by the promise of a movie star saying and doing things I don’t quite understand.

What was that quote from Fight Club?
“We buy things we don’t need to impress people who don’t care”

My absence for several days has been because I heard this week that my oldest friend who I met my first day (his, too, as a rating) is dying of cancer, This was relayed to me in a Christmas card without self pity or histrionics,

For several years now, since he moved to a different part of the country, and his dislike of telephones the exchange of birthday cards and Xmas cards with notes has been our main form of communication. Just this May when he wrote to me there was no suggestion, beyond the inevitable arthritis, the curse of the senior Briton, that anything was amiss. he became ill in October, and was given the terrible news that he had just a matter of months. As he has a long standing heart problem chemotherapy would kill him.

It occurred to me when I cunt the likes of Starmer, those little trollops Stacey Solomon and Carole Vorderman, the EU and Grieve etc, that they are temporary aberrations. Starmer will get grey hair thanks to his left wing loonies. Vorderman will lose her looks and people will realise Solomon is a talentless tart. Grieve will lose his false teeth and the EU will collapse due to it’s inherent corruption. It will end up like Jimmy Cagney at the end of “White Heat”.

But cancer, a disease that has been with us for centuries remains the killer it is. We waste billions on space travel, for example, and what good has it ever done the ordinary mortal? – it is just a rich man’s status symbol and plaything, like an even more expensive (and equally useless) HS2.

Then there is the six of one and half a dozen of the other Russian/Ukraine war, which will drag on like Vietnam, with billions thrown down the drain to “help”. Would it not be better to spend all that excess money on beating this cruel disease, which affects young and old. The same applies to Alzheimer’s as well, which can make life a living death for years. Let’s spend money where it could help.

My old shipmate might be said to have had a good innings, but he has spent his years of widowerhood caring for cats, who happily live in his workshop where he has been ensconced for years since his retirement, doing repairs of all sorts for his neighbours (at no charge) – Can you imagine me doing that?. He was also a much better sailor than I was as well.

I always seem to hear bad or sad news at Xmas time, which is why I hate it so much. T.S. Eliot said that “April was the cruellest month”. I think he meant “December”.
