    I won't repeat what my dad thought of Tommy Steele though  :D

    I’d give him an award just for his performance in Half a Sixpence ... a bit ‘hammy’ possibly, but it always makes me smile, and we need smiles these days 😊

    Like wise @Fairygirl when Elton John was made a Sir, OH's Da said "what for that racket"? That is the mild version.

    "Elton John topped the Sunday Times Giving List in 2016 for donating an estimated $38 million to various charities. According to the Sunday Times Giving List, the musician donated most of his money to fighting HIV/Aids. His own Elton John AIDS Foundation boasts 24 years of expertise in the fight against HIV.15 Feb 2019"

    Ooh - big Elton fan here @floralies - steady on  :D
    Having said that - he needs to go away now. Should have stopped a long time ago. 
    He's done a lot of good though, and I think that's what he got it for. 
    I don't like the whole system though. It's completely outdated and irrelevant.

    I should clarify that my Dad crossed paths quite often with Mr Steele in the dim and distant past, so he was speaking from personal experience.  ;)

    The MBE for Marcus Rashford was far more deserved than all the gongs handed out to the England cricket team when they beat Australia for the first time in a million years.  They should all have been ordered to hand them back when they reverted to type and got stuffed 5 - 0 in the next series.

    There’s the usual worthy ones and ones that make me smile (Sir Tommy Steele anyone!? 🥂) and the usual ones that furrow my brow.  
    Am I the only person to have said "wow - is he still alive?" OH has no idea at all who he is

    Like the actor who said he checks the Obituary list each day - just to make sure he isn't in it @B3?  :D

    Does anyone remember which thread had posts about tennis elbow? Was there any useful advice or just bewailing?
    edit Found it on 'search'. 😊
