Knighthood for a blade

[Cerberus Blade]

Dunno, but WTF has Baker ever done to merit an 'honour'? I'm sure the late, great David Bowie told them to shove it. Or am I confusing DB with more deserving recipients? Like Harry Kane...

Didn't he once lead a doorstep soap powder "big box" challenge and free the nation of bobbles on their socks or something?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Deserved for Knights of Nich alone

This one?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Well done Michael Palin.

I think the bloke has made a fantastic contribution to comedy and to travel journalism. He mentions the Blades with affection occasionally. I remember that "Blades on Tour" banner on one of his World Tours - I think it was Malaysia. I also remember him having his haircut and asking the barber in some foreign distant land, if he knew how the Blades had gone on!

I think he's a class act personally and it's good to see someone from Sheffield doing well for themselves. Does it reflect positively on the city? Not sure? I think he's a bit too far removed from an association with us now.

"I used to see Wednesday supporters as a different type of person, just... deeply disturbed."
Clearly a Blade.

Like Foreign Aid, there's obviously targets to be met. Once you're on the 'honours' conveyor belt, they keep upgrading it until you get a Knighthood/Damehood. 'Sir' Bill Beaumont FFS. He's done fuck all for 40-odd years so why is he given a Knighthood? As for 'charity', they get picked for these endless 'Water' and 'Syria' ads. because they're a known face, not because they care. All those ads. won't come cheap, the CEOs will get fat salaries and if you're daft enough to send money , only one thing is certain. A thermal blanket? No. Endless calls, texts and emails trying to chivvy yet more money out of you. If cunts like Michael Sheen and Olivia Colman really cared, they'd dip into their vast fortunes. And shut the fuck up about it.


Plus the odd dinner lady, lollipop lady etc. to pretend the system is 'fair'. Anybody with any balls would tell them to shove it, they're doing what they enjoy doing and getting paid handsomely for it. But they won't because they're all part of the corrupt, rotten 'system'.

Certain celebrities head up campaigns because it works well for the charity, it puts a well known face in front of the public.
But these celebrities do care, many have been out there on the front line doing what they can, however small

There is a reason why the cast from TOWIE, Geordie Shore and Love Island aren't used and that's because they are vacant, materialistic, superfluous wankers without a care about anything

Bowie refused an honour. Also Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.

System is so outdated.

Up the republic.

Don't know if it's about being 'outdated', it's just The System rewarding their own. As usual. Toe-lining civil 'servants' are always good for a laugh. I'm just surprised they haven't honoured Harry Redkapp for his services to 'I'm a Celebrity...' And surely Meghan's bump is in line for an honour?

Let them glory in enjoying being in the same exalted company as Alan Sugar, Philip Green, Clegg and Jimmy Savile.

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Mr Wilder and Mr Knill , should get one each . Issued by a Blade on each shoulder .

Know them personally do you?

 

[DifferentClass]

We need to knight Jos Luhukay for services to Sheffield Wednesday.

 

[blade.i.am]

OBE* surely.



*Owls Best Ever (possibly pig fans would disagree)

 

[Topplayersleave]

Know them personally do you?

No, and wouldn't want to because they are vacant, superfluous, materialistic wankers who think that the only problem in the world is not being able to find a doctor to make their fucking tits bigger

 

[Pinchy]

Know them personally do you?

I don’t know Barmy Boris or Smogg personally. I know for sure, however, that they’re dangerous, opportunistic Tory hard-right Twerps.

Some people define themselves pretty quickly. The celebrity reality crew are amongst them. Complete tossers.

Michael Palin just been announced.

Take the Michael Palin being a blade with a pinch of salt. As in one series he announced his support for Sheffield United but in another series while sat watching a game in Egypt he announced he supported the pigs. Call me a bit of a geek but I've seen all his series many times and I'm afraid this is the case.

ARISE SIR BILLY

 

[Houston_Blade]

Slight aside but my boss has an OBE, we were at a conference and the MC announced a speaker who was an MBE, my boss stood up and shouted “I’ve got an OBE mine is better”. I shit you not. Cringey as fuck.

 

[SB_90]

They throw honours out like confetti these days.

Gareth Southgate OBE
Harry Kane MBE

No idea if this unpopular opinion or normal. But i think southgate has been over honoured & mbe wouldve been right. Because theirs no room for progression. Let's say england win the nations league like we are favourites. You can't give him a knighthood unless he wins the euros or world cup. & winning nations league would be a big achievement but i doubt it's worthy of a CBE

 

[SB_90]

Although delighted for a guy i started my working career with back in 2009 at Stephen Harrison academy Has Got an MBE

He likes both. Def leaned more toward blades when he was growing up in Ranmoor but if you read his diaries he mentions Wednesday several times, mentions going to watch them when they played in London and how chuffed he was when they got promoted but rarely mentions United.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Wednesdayites "deeply disturbed". He`ll do for me, but I don`t reckon he`s got too many loyalty points.
