Yeah, ill do just that...

Anyway, i dont think Glyn Rhodes deserves an MBE any more than his brother Gary does.

What do you know about what Glyn has done to deserve this award ?
He deserves it he's earned it.

What? Is his brother really Gary Rhodes the chef?

[Parson Cross]

No mate. Just KG with a bee in his bonnet about people who get awards. Gary Rhodes previously got an OBE.

Educate me on what Glyn has done.

I have a couple of friends who are doctors, during their holidays they go to places like Djibouti and Eritrea, literally saving (or prolonging) lives on a daily basis.
They will never in a million years get an MBE.

Im sure Glyn has had an immense effect on his community and done wonders for 100's of young people, but i think there are other people who do incredible things who deserve it more and would benefit their causes by having it more than him.

That is a criticism of the system, not Glyn or Gary Rhodes.

[Parson Cross]

Then go and talk about the system elsewhere - after all this is supposed to be a boxing forum.
I'm sure your friends are deserving - maybe you should put them forward for next year.
As for this thread - fuckin we done Glyn Rhodes MBE.

Wonderful.
I had no idea that Gary Rhodes got an OBE. The thought of him having MBE/OBE whatever seemed so ludicrous that it amused me to chuck his name in.

Then it turns out that he actually effing well has one....

[Parson Cross]

Of course you didn't ........

One thing not mentioned, is the work He does to raise Funds for Charity, and those less fortunate.

[Parson Cross]

Many congratulations to Glyn.
Great tribute dinner last Saturday and a great turn out.

Fair play to Glyn, he's a good bloke.

I'm not a fan of honours to be honest, if I was in the position to receive one I'd have to turn it down, I've got an image as a biker and a rocker to uphold.

[dberry]

The honours system is such a joke. Cyclists (the most dirty drugs sport in the world) as knights of the realm...

I wonder if they will revoke the honours bestowed on our beloved cyclists and athletes when they fail drugs tests in a few years?

They didn't revoke Linford Christies

I'd rather a fit, juiced up athelete be one of my Knights than an aging queen (hello Elton John, great singer/performer, and nothing wrong with his lifestyle choices.)
