TRF Honourary Brit Awards 09

It's about that time of year...ie the Kiwi has announced his tosser's list.

Yep it's the return of the TRF honourary Brit awards...last years were a huge success and it is time Martin and I had a good think (along with some of our newest Brit friends here) concerning the latest list and admissions into the hall of fame.

The final list in 2008 was as follows...

Queen Lisa, in the Carry On style of Babs Windsor, to reign with Queen Bitsy
Ladies in waiting Mirenya and Karis
Frans of the Duchy of Hens, and drinking dens of Porto
Dame Carolina
Duchess Nancy,
Sir Al, admiral of the fleet
Princess Ashley
Raffish Terry "Biggles" Newton, chief of air staff
Eddie and Michael of the colony of Oz, keepers of the Kings chamber pots and cultural keepers to the Kings comics (pictures only)
Earl, Duke of Earl, court musician
David Duke of Squirrel and protector of Bitsy's nuts
Jim S, keeper of the hounds
Art, cultural attache for the nether regions of San Francisco, Brighton & Edinburgh
Bubba estate manager with special responsibilities for vetting royal mistresses, trailer supplied by estate
Baron Top JJ, master of the rolls, supreme ruler of the Banana & Coco Republics, big benny, and tosser extraordinaire
Steve, Lord of the manor
James of Gedanken, chief torturer and executioner (on loan from the Spanish inquisition, but no one suspects)
Paulie, (Mailman) court jester, late delivery of punch line to be expected
TR mayor, Lord Heru first Baron of Indonesia, Chair of The Committee of Agriculture, Farming and Fisheries and general top Onion and good egg
Prince Allan
Ed Chief Lord Justice
Sir Daniel. Knight of The British Realm and "our man in Guam"
Jedi, Royal Navy Tactical Diving Commander Lee
Larry, guardian of the crown tools
Adrian of Ecky Thump currently in tax exile in the Palace of Sandringham, supplier to the Queen of the finest mushy peas, tripe & onions and black pudding (guaranteed to give you the Bolton trotters)

Good to see that none have been banned yet

Let nominations commence....

Chaps, I believe our good friend Ed needs inducting...

For services of irony, sarcasm and general keeping of Bubba the estate manager in order.

Title?????

With the moniker applied as per "real name"....I'm thinking ArchBishop Ed

"Sir Al, admiral of the fleet"

We have a problem with this. As I'm a real Brit, I can't be an honourary Brit. Unless maybe I can be an honourary honourary Brit?

P.S. It IS honourary, not honorary. Spell Checker be damned!!!
