Stuff we found out.
God save the queen
You know that we're never ones to slag off celebrities. Those hard-working, world-weary folk do their darnedest to make sure that we always have something to read in the papers. God forbid, if ever they were to disappear we might have to actually get on with our lives, or read about something other than their latest all-nighter or hookup with some z-list tits.
We think that they should be honoured, and it would seem the Queen agrees. Her birthday honours list is out, and we'd like to congratulate all of those who have made the cut. Particular kudos go to Dot Cotton, awarded an MBE. Not because she got the accolade but merely because we thought her chain-smoking would have led to a bucket-kicking well before 2008.
But among a handful of journalists and a few sporting personalities, we can't help but think that there's no one really controversial on the list this year. Tabloid sluts that we are, we kind of hoped that someone horrific would be up for an award. Winehouse, perhaps, for her services to the spurious gossip community. Or some Channel 4 producer, for the resurrection of a thoroughly dead old horse.
The only one we really take issue with is the person we notice has been buried right at the bottom - Kate Fyfe. Heard of her? Us neither, but apparently she has contributed sterling work in the kiltmaking industry. Kiltmaking - that backbone of the British economy that has so far gone un-accredited by Her Maj. People keep saying that the Royal Family are becoming out of touch with modern Britain. It's nice to see that they're clawing their way back in. Perhaps in fifty years time we can expect an award to go to Kate Moss for her Topshop collection.
