Where's me gong?
« on: December 31, 2011, 10:50:17 AM »
As there's nothing more news-worthy this morning they are discussing this years New Year honours.

If you can believe what you are being told, the highlights appear to be that 1/3 of them have gone to the banking industry, Paul Ruddock, the guy in charge of  a hedge fund that gambled on Northern Rock going bust and won millions by doing so, got one; Gerald Ronson, jailed and fined £5million for his part in the Guinness share scandal got one; reformed gang member Christopher Preddie also gets an OBE, and the also-rans are the predictable bunch who got one for who they know/what they do, for what they are good at, and for doing there jobs as expected

Can I just point out that I have never been a gang-member, let alone a reformed one, and I hereby put in my request for saintdom

And as I type there's some twat "constitutional expert" on telly telling me that all these awards give the country a lift. He can fuck right off ... oh, and surprise surprise, he's "constitutional twat OBE"  cussing:  cussing:  cussing:

I worked for Gerald Ronson for a few months in the 1970's he was a crook then and as far as I can see he still is.

He always reminded me of one of the Krays. It was just the air of menace about him when he spoke to you.
