And on a related topic I had to smile last night when I read that Danny Boyle was rumoured to recently have turned down a knighthood because it would destroy his self image of being "normal" and his commonality (if there is such a word) - good for him, if placed in the same position then I'd like to think I'd do the same, its one reason why I don't want Kevin Sinfield to accept any award that a fawning RFL may wish to eventually nominate him for - would destroy his self image straight off :D


Give it to Frankie Boyle instead :D

I think the 230 years refers to the monarch sitting down with "senior ministers." Mintball's date was something less impressive.

Do you mean his image?
How would you know what his self-image would be?
Just curious.

He's stated on several occasions and interviews, most notably to Clair Balding before the CC Final, that his background is in socialist politics and his hero is Che Guevara - everyone thought he was joking at first, but he wasn't.

I don't think Che would accept a knighthood :D

I don't think that the RFL would be in a position to offer one of those though.
What they would offer he would probably accept.
I hope you won't be disappointed. :wink:

I see Her Maj was in Cabinet today (first time someone in her position has been in for 230 years). After Cameron's assault on the unemployed, the working poor, the disabled, their carers, the middle classes and all but the mega-rich do you feel he is paving the way for her to take over and for a return to some for of feudalism?


Some would argue Feudalism never really went away.
