Smooth Operator 10 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Got a call last week the day before the new years honours were announced. Apparently I'd been nominated by an old boss and it's been confirmed! I go to the palace next month! Anyone know if there any privileges go with it?

My friend you are correct however this award is for my work as a member of the TA and military men don't get informed in advance of their nomination or confirmation of such an award.

Gemmill 34898 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I could catch a monkey. If I was starving I could. I’d make poison darts out of the poison of the deadly frogs. One milligram of that poison can kill a monkey. Or a man. Prick yourself and you’d be dead within a day. Or longer. Different frogs, different times.

Kid Dynamite 5976 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I thought local Awards were collected at the town hall or the civic centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then I apologise, please don't get your new boss to behead me...I'll do anything...except shag Camilla. And J69, he will get to go to the palace, everyone does. Then, disgustingly, he'll go to a local ceremony where he automatically becomes an honoury Freeman. Other perks include him, his children, and his grandchildren can get married or christined in St Pauls Cathedral. Can you imagine? The fucking Byker lot going in there for a church service?

Radgina 1 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 This just has to be absolute utter bollocks I'm afraid !!!! Two people at work are the only ones I know of from our neck of the woods to get one and unless SMO is actually a fifty odd year old woman or a six foot four bloke with learning difficulties then it is bullshit....
