I've met both Idris and Matt many times. One is very arrogant, the other, an utter delight.  I'll leave it you to work out who is who.

Idris Elba is a shit actor, Matt Lucas is a nonce. So yeah, seems about right.

On a much sadder note, the Spanish biddy who enhanced the Ecce Homo fresco into the splendid Monkey Christ has passed away. Her story gave me one of the best laughs I can remember. Almost up there with the terrorists who decided to take on Glasgow Airport.

Faux,  Found this re Sinfield.

"He received an MBE in 2014 for services to rugby league and then an OBE in 2021 for both his work on the pitch and charitable fundraising.  In the 2024 New Year Honours he was awarded the CBE for services to motor neurone disease awareness.  Royal protocol states that an honour cannot be upgraded within a three-year period, meaning that Sinfield must wait another year to be knighted, which seems very likely to happen in the 2027 New Year Honours."

Could have waived the rules for him mind you, doubt anyone would have complained.

Isn't that woman below the one who at the King's Coronation on TV declared about how “terribly white” the balcony line-up was?!

A high profile black celebrity trying to do SOMETHING about knife crime
Good for him
Some Premier league footballers could actually do the same

How much further does Kevin Sinfield have to run until he gets a well deserved Knighthood ahead of some no marks & political time servers?
They must have a spare one now that Charles close mate Jimmy Savile isn’t using his

Knighted is a bit OTT when an O or a M would probably suffice at least for now but there you go and the guy has done a lot for charity.

Ah yes I forgot about his charitable work throwing a tax deductable amount of cash at a youth charity that helps kids as long as they're of a particular ethnicity. I expect they have published results of their successes for the benefactor to be knighted? No? OH OK THEN, FAMOUS BLOKE DID SOME CHARITY = KNIGHTHOOD it is then. How would we live without his efforts?
