PurpleCanary 5,530 Posted November 15, 2017 [quote user="Herman"]No Damehood? Got to be due surely?[/quote]I should think she has been asked and turned that down, probably for egalitarian reasons, and the CoH award is far more prestigious anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted November 15, 2017 only 60ish CoH (capped at 65 max I think) compared to how many knighthoods? As purple says, a much more elite circle. Congrats Delia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobLoz3 486 Posted November 15, 2017 I have some German/Austrian blood too through my dad''s side of the family (Nan from Vienna and Grandad who is half German)... I think the royal family have more in common with lizards, don''t they? [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 490 Posted November 15, 2017 The CH is one level below the OM so it does seem odd that she has received it for services to cooking when you consider other holders past and present. A dame hood would have been a more likely award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted November 15, 2017 I wonder if she''ll have to pop up to Sandringham to sort out the Xmas lunchIt can''t be much fun having to cook lunch, change and then sit down to read out the speech as wellmaybe Delia could help out by reading the speech instead, be great to see her peering out of the screen and shouting "c''mon let''s be having ya, where are ya'' at folk lay snoozing on the couch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted November 15, 2017 Doubtlessly there are numerous ''smutty'' comments that can be made about stuffing, chipolatas and such like... even Christmas balls but I shall leave those to the lower orders on here to bring the tone down.Though I did once here a ''joke'' about the Variety Show and the Royal Box, which I never quite understood so I shall remain aloof.

Bill 1,788 Posted November 15, 2017 It appears that Greggs have on sale a advent calendar that has a sausage roll in the crib instead of the baby Jesus.It doesn''t say whether the sausage rolls are hot eitherStrange times we live in, methinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,530 Posted November 15, 2017 [quote user="Van wink"]Surely our resident socialists don’t approve of honours of this sort.Well done Delia.👍[/quote]Well, it is awarded for genuine achievement deemed to have enriched (metaphorically) the life of the country, as opposed to rewarding political favours and the like, and it doesn''t entitle the recipients to be an unelected part of the democratic process, so it ranks high on the list of justifiable honours in a system aspects of which can certainly be criticised from several points of view, and not just a socialist one.

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted November 15, 2017 It probably entitles her to herd sheep over Carrow Bridge even though she has done that every other week for donkeys years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted November 15, 2017 RF,Or to herd donkeys on the green, green pastures of Carrow Rd, like sheep to the slaughter. I just had to, I just had to. It was too good a humorous opportunity to miss. Made me chuckle anyway!!But then I often make myself laugh, Nurse!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
