Glad Terry Prachett has been recognised, a great writer with a fantastic imagination

not sure about Lewis Hamilton, me thinks that should have been a while down the line once he has established himself a bit more

Same with some of the other Olympic athletes - wait until after 2012

They deserve them - but wait until they have been going longer

Why should he?

Last PM who deserved anything like that (like or hate her) was Margaret Thatcher

Agreed.

But then again i am surprised Blair didnt get honoured - theres a fair few incompetent, irrelevant, lying cheating forked tongued slimballs that seem to have made the list at one time or another...

I did some stewarding at the last British GP, ended up in front of the crowd, 30 yards from the start/finish line when Hamilton crossed to win after a superb drive.

What an experience that was and what a fantastic year he had.

I do agree with some of the thoughts on the subject however.

IMO the olympic athletes should the receive the recognition they fully deserve for their fantastic achievements, but I question that this the vehicle to do it?

An MBE at 14 for Eleanor Simmonds, whatever the achievement, makes something of a mockery of the whole honours list, given that there are no doubt thousands of people out there who have done fantastic work all their lives without any recognition at all.

I should say that I have absolutely nothing against Eleanor, heaven knows what she has had to overcome to achieve what she has, I've just sited her as the youngest recipient, as an example.
