As long as it's not "Jack's".

Can Aussies still get knighthoods? Pretty sure the Don had one but not aware of, say, Warne or Ponting getting the call?

What about other Commonwealth countries, has Usain Bolt got one yet?

Sir Don Bradman. Sir Edmund Hillary. Rolf could have been a contender.

Dame Edna Everage.

Sir Les Patterson.

Populist government nonsense.

One could argue that applies to the whole silly honours system, to be honest. What does an Officer of the British Empire actually do? Do they have to do a month a year service defending Rockall?

I definitely think those Tory MPs with ridiculous knighthoods should be stuck on a horse in chain-mail and forced to do tours of Leeds city centre at kicking out time.

you’d let them wear chain mail?

Which is a ridiculous, as is saying that Monday should be a bank holiday.

Sir Keir wants a national holiday if they win. Populist nonsense.

I'm in the fortunate position of no longer working by personal choice. Strikes me though making Monday a BH at such short notice is impractical on so many levels.

'Kin right Lizz. When I was a lefty wage slave shirker, I'd have been all over it. Now that I'm a Thatcherite, up-by-the-bootstraps entrepreneur, I say get the lazy bastards into work so that I can sell them shit before I eff off abroad!

Them's fighting words!

"Oh rock on Rockall you'll never fall for Britains greedy hands..."

I had a minor role dealing with the honours system in central government. They were handed out like lollipops as compensation for not getting promoted etc. A colleague had the MBE for working weekends. That went down well with my geriatric consultant friend!

I never thought of the different connotations............first word is definitely not Jack's

It’s a bit funny that in 2021 the awarding of Knighthoods still exists. The monarchy still clinging to whatever it can to remain relevant. I don’t have an issue of recognition, but do it much later in someone’s career. For a substantial body of work, not an isolated event, as significant as this might in a sporting context. The notion of Sir Tyrone (although he deserves it much more for his off the field work) or Sir Jack, as much as we love him, would just be daft.

Sir Aaron Ramsdale. 0 caps.

[Brazilian Villain]

Sir Aaron Ramsdale. 0 caps.

He'd be first on the list as well.

Super, super Sir Jack…..

He’s here, he’s there, he’s every fucking where, Sir Tyrone Mings, Sir Tyrone Mings.

Better get to work on them for the Newcastle game.
