He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.
I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

You may have a Knighthood because as a nation we are crap at <insert> but you alone are not. If we are good at something the same level of skill and dedication is required to win but they just get passed over. Some irony or something like that there.
Knighthood to the all members of the first UK team to win the Kabaddi world cup eh?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Top Tip.....try reading the post properly first before opening your gob and letting all that hysterical wind and piss gush out.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

The Olympics defines "sailing" as the sport, not "laser sailing", and changes the classes raced from time to time. He won medals in both the Laser and Finn class actually he gave up Lasers years ago), but weirdly those are not considered separate events. Now he races yachts and plenty of people have sailed on those.
If YOU actually knew anything about sailing you'd know that of course.
But if you insist on being idiotically petty, clearly grass-court tennis is different from clay or hard-court. How many people world-wide do you reckon have played tennis on a grass court? Or cycled specifically inside a velodrome - clearly these details are massively important.
Maybe it'd be better if you just came and and said what you actually are thinking, which is that since a Scot has won something he is clearly more important than the hundreds of English people who win things every year...Last edited by d000hg; 9 July 2013, 11:29.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostTennis on the other hand is a very big global sport played by millions (probably second to football) so being being the best meams being better than a lot more people than in rowing or sailing.
According to Sport England tennis comes in 7th. Lots of people watch Wimbledon but not many people actually play.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

As far as individuals are concerned, Hoy got his for being the best over three or more Olympics plus several world championships. Similarly Wiggo (plus his Tour win), Redgrave, Pinsent and Ainslee. Similarly Faldo after six golf majors.
So far, Murray has had one top year.
Ramsey, Woodward and Brailsford got theirs for managing British teams to be the best in the world. Ferguson for his success over 30 years in management. Botham got his for many years of charity work. Obviously none of this applies to Murray.
The only footy player knighted while still playing was Stanley Matthews, and the only cricketer while still playing was Richard Hadlee, both near the end of long careers.
So all in all, I don't see any justification for knighting Murray now or in the near future. And so I go back to Cameron, what he said was daft.Comment
