Baldrick Knighted!!









"I also pledge that from this day on I'll slaughter all unruly dragons, and rescue any damsels in distress who request my help."

Well done Sir! :bowdown:

love him, but can't just be me who questions the knighthood?

Also getting a gong Wendy Parry.

The Parrys are an extraordinary couple. Many on here too young to remember the Warrington bombings. I remember them very well because I was living in the town at the time and heard them go off. If the original bombing had worked I wouldn't be typing this.

They have committee their lives to peace in reaction to their son and another young boy being killed by the IRA.

They started not long after the funeral in the town. I remember them clearly.

A very special couple. With all respect to Tony Robinson, it should be them getting knighted. They helped kick off the peace process.

I think she was labelled by the music press as very "left wing" when she started but in reality she's a bit more individual.

Like Roger Waters, both very pro fox hunting.

glad to see him saying he's going to use the title "with abandon to highlight the causes I believe in". does annoy slightly when people get such an honor and say they'll just remain as Dave Brown or whatever. revel in it, use it to promote anything important. no one gets a knighthood without deserving it.

*sigh* theres always one to spoil it. he didnt gain the knighthood for just swaning around an office everyday did he, just cause he went bad later. anyway i was thinking of the non-business/political ones.

I raise you a Jimmy Saville.

History is full of dodgy knighthoods, there is far more than one to spoil it.

Were you aware companies exist that help you getting one ? Probably not.....

So if Baldricks got one, when is Stephen Fry getting one?!?! I can't think of many people who have services to entertainment, technology and human rights all in the same bag???

I'm struggling go remember Mr Fry's services to technology, beyond his promotion of a specific company over the last few years.

The seaside.
Tony Robinson ran Equity (the actors' union) for many years. Not sure the likes of Rowan or Fry have done anything but line their own pockets, so of course Robinson deserves it to be offered to him, though obviously he is scum for accepting it.
