How the hell did she get an OBE !!!

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Military personnel get rewarded internally, with promotions and awards, an equivalent of which might be expected in any other job. Just like this bloke, who, judging by all his decorations, must have single handedly saved us from oblivion. Maybe I should fire off an e-mail to him as well, @Pale Rider ? Do I have to pay my own fare to The Tower?

Is that an Iron Cross?

Maybe the Queen felt sorry for her after VB pulled a face and the wind changed. Gonged her as a cautionary tale.

sorry but i just cant stand either of them

Why not? Have you met them or are you going on what the media has to say about them. For the record, I have to say that the handing out of OBEs to all and sundry have devalued them, but why can't you stand the Beckhams?

[QUOTE 4619512, member: 45"]Possibly. I think there's a difference between a sportsperson achieving top of their game (there can only be one) and a celebrity doing something that others do in anonymity.[/QUOTE]

Or a celeb reaching top of their game.

No real reason at all its just the way they both come across

Brilliant.

No, it's a Prince.
This is the only iron cross I have any interest in....

Queen Elizabeth II is a great great granddaughter of Queen Victoria, hence, Victoria Beckham deserves a gong for having the same name....

Simples.

I could never forgive her after she allegedly had a hand in the design of this monstrosity:

It would have been less unforgivable if the marketing people had named it something else, like a PoshMobile or something; but it's supposed to be a Range Rover!

Door mirror looks nice.

Flat up top?

 

[Drago]

The convertible version was modelled directly on her - nothing up top and now common as muck.

Anyone remember when Michael Winner turned down an OBE on the basis that he felt they were for 'toilet cleaners'?
