Away the lads!

Alan shearer got CBE too, all the Geordie Lads together.

Can't understand why daft little entertainers like Ant and Dec get honours. Sorry. Don't mean to offend.

Certainly doesn't offend me !!

It does offend me! I was pretty cross at Joan Collins being made a dame last time though. Dear Victoria Wood should have had every possible honour piled on her. Still very sad.

Jings, I agree with you 100000%,! little twerps !!

Never watched Ant & Dec, so really no comment! Agree about Victoria Wood though, she should be honoured in some way. Must be difficult to please everyone, I wonder how they come to the final list?

Being a link person to any tv/radio programme is not as easy as it looks and they are masters of their craft.It may be more obvious when someone is a great Shakesperean actor etc, but I bet most of them couldn't do what A&D do. They've bought a lot of fun and enjoyment to a lot of people over the years and they deserve this recognition. Pleased to hear about Alan Shearer also.

Victoria Wood did have a CBE. Agree that Joan Collins shouldn't be a Dame though.

Sorry Tegan I had forgotten the CBE for Victoria Wood, thanks for reminding me.

I didn't know till I googled it PRINTMISS; I hadn't even forgotten..I just didn't know . I only checked because it occurred to me that she could have been the sort of person to probably refuse a Damehood [other than the fact that she would most likely be able to incorporate it into something funny].How sad that she's gone .

I try not to watch them but they seem to be everywhere all the time!!

Like they say, if you can`t say summat nice, say nowt, so I`m saying nowt!

Glad Rod Stewart got his Knighthood and pleased too for our Janet Street Porter, love her. X

Love Janet Street Porter

I can never understand the "honors" list and often wonder what these people have done that is so special. Take Ant and Dec for example (and I am a Geordie), They are paid huge sums for presenting television programs. Have they done masses of (free) charity work? Being on TV, a pop star, film star or sports personality almost seems to guarantee you an honor at some point.
