As much as I am pleased for Andy Murray and other successful sport stars, I am completely against these people being Knighted. These people don't have 9-5 jobs that are paid an average wage, they instead, train for a sport they enjoy participating in and tend to get paid very well whatever their success in that sport. So why knight somebody for doing what they train to do and get paid to do?????

now,
i am a citizen in good standing...
i possess a dual citizenship, natural born in the usa, and a native from the sovereign nation of texas...
i have no outstanding warrants...
if i were to desire such a thing as knighthood, and did not have the means to purchase one, how would i go about obtaining such a wonderful item???
i am not above stealing one, if it is in good shape and not in present use...
i could write a silly lil four line rhyme, quite easily, if that would meet the requirements...
i can bring barbequed turkey legs to the party, along with some of my homemade rookiebread...
how about it???
am i in???

We like winding you up so that you will respond and so
we get another look at your pretty picture 😛
I'm getting the impression that you are attracted to young slender women with long dark hair (that they keep long) who style themselves to attract, based on your post here and your reaction ("She's hot!" ) concerning a pic of a girl in a superhero costume, that I posted.
Fortunately, my daughter is a blonde. 🙂
