The man whom during the world cup was asked which team he would like to see win replied, anyone so long as it is NOT England, has been given a knighthood... What a f****ing disgrace the British honours system is <sigh>

I was having a nice relaxing day, humming along to some pleasant music and sipping my Baileys coffee - and you come along and bloody ruin the mood.

I even went to the trouble of not buying my newspaper today - knowing it would only get me mad

I'm sick to the teeth with this annual farce - it always inspires my rage - and this year it's your bloody fault by reminding me. Aaaaargh :crazy1:

Aha - at last we've found someone who actually approves of all this honours nonsense. I suspect Lester is hoping for a gong  :happydance: :happydance:

He certainly doesn't come across as very likeable, does he... Doesn't look much like a "Sir"

I don't want to start a fight here, but Andy IS a Scot and the team he was referring to WAS England.
I remember the incident now and at the time I thought it was a pretty funny throwaway line.  :-[
He wasn't dissing Britain. Just one of the states.
Like us Queenslanders putting sh/t on NSW.

The more you read about him the more you appreciate his directness and wit. He does a lot of good charity work by all accounts and supports his team mates in very humble ways. He's my favourite ATP man at the moment. Then again, Elena can't stand him.  :lol:
