Couldn't happen to a nicer writer. (Well, maybe Steve Jordan, but the last time I checked Jordan wasn't British. )

We don't need an honours system, when we have you!
Given the choice between getting a gong or a bit of chocolate, I think most MR members would make the sensible choice.

Incidentally, foreigners are eligible for honourary knighthoods - see, you didn't know how lucky you were.

Could we carry on the discussion on the News forum, please. I think this is too important to be relegated to the Lounge.
