The thing that gets me about the honours list is that there's the New Years Honours and the Queen's Birthday Honours but it seems like they don't award them at just two events and they seem to be spread through a number of days about the year. Makes sense what with the schedules of many VIPs and the Queen etc. This does give the impression that there's an honours ceremony nearly every month which seems to take away from the 'occassion'. Imagine if you will the Academy awards giving an Oscar away each week, not much of an 'event' is it?
I could be wrong but it just drags on, congrats to the mann though he was my first 'LOL' reading a book. Pyramids, when the head embalmer sees every mummy he's ever made storming towards him because they're a little bit miffed at being denied the afterlife because they're bodies were trapped in their Pyramid tombs. He shouts out something like 'begone foul shades' - it just cracked me up.
