The Queen popped by earlier today for a quick coffee and a chinwag, as
is her wont.

She asked me what I thought about her New Year?s Honours List. I
responded by sticking two fingers down my throat and pretending to be
sick. I think that she was somewhat offended but she responded
graciously enough.

?OK, so throw me a couple of names then and I?ll do a special ??

As most folks know, Queenie is a huge fan of GA (although her handle
is, of course, secret) so I suggested that she should create a new
title of Knight (or Dame) Commander of the GA Empire (KCG or DCG). She
jumped at it and suggested that the following be so honoured:

Easterangel
Feilong
Jem
Journalist
Pinkfreud
Politicalguru

?What do you think?? she asks me.

I sang, ?There is nothing like a Dame?

But then, more seriously, I said ?Why not ask the experts for their opinion.?

Well?

Dear Sir Bryan,

Please tell Q.E. that I shall not accept the title of Dame unless my
dear friend Scriptor is similarly honoured with a knighthood. "Sir
Scriptor" sounds very good to me. He is, at heart, a Knight in the
best classic, chivalric sense.

~Her Pinkness

Now that Arthur C. Clarke and Mick Jagger have been knighted, it
appears that just about anyone rates a knighthood. Now...if the old
bird starting handing out checks, "that" would be something to work
toward!

The nearest I will every get to becoming a Dame is appearing in a
Panto as 'Widow Twanky' at a re-built Palace Pier Theatre, Brighton.

Be careful Bryan
Be too rude to Our Gracious Sovereign Queen Elizabeth, and she will
set her Daughter's dog onto you.

I hear "Her Royal Highness" is actually "a major reptilian gene
carrier" who is a "shape-shifting reptilian", according to (not soon
to be knighted), Mr David Icke.

As I'm not on the New Year's Honours list, I'm not at all concerned.

Bryan,

I second Pinkfreud's nomination of Scriptor.  Please tell Her Majesty
respectfully, for me, that this is her opportunity to make up for
ignoring my advice the last time I offered her some.

Hi!

I really feel honored receiving such a recognition! But I felt no
recognition in GA will be complete if we don't remember the "24 hours"
question answered by Missy-ga! This is one of the best answers for the
year or even yet in the history of GA!

Dear Bryan,

Being named in the list is enough recognition for me. For me, there
are a lot of my colleagues who really deserve to be knighted. Thank
you and please give my regards to Her Majesty. :)

This seems to leave out a few people who I can think of off the top of

I think that list covers some of the most frequent question answerers,
and the people who I enjoy reading the answers of (with your list
included of course).
