Congratulations Brendon, richly deserved.

Fair play to him, but what's it for?
How come Blind Dave gets overlooked year-after-year? (Tom Watson: fight his corner).
The Honours System is a sham: How come that scraggy old cow Joan Collins gets knighted? She hasn't even paid taxes to the UK for over 50 years (might be exaggerating - but the Honours System Committee should disregard anyone who avoids Tax in this country - So no Lewis Hamilton OBE for me! And no awards for anyone who gets paid a f***ing fortune for singing, reading the f***ing News, or ponceing it up in front of a f***ing camera!!!!)

I'm going back to bed till next Year now......I get so angry. Grrrrr)

Well Done to Brendon. An inspiration to all Footballers (not just Black!!). I had the pleasure of watching him play and meet him in Person. He took time to actually speak to me and ask about me-- a true gent just like Big Cyrille. Just imagine having both of them playing today for the team-- Ummm.
