  • And more understanding and acceptance of who you are and what you want/need.

    30s is really a great time. Around 35 is when your body will start telling you about all those times you didn’t take care of yourself, so stay fit and eat right and you should be having the time of your life for the next 20 years.













  • Many sportspeople are knighted (Dameified?). Service to community for regular folks also gets honours for those who stand out. At least in the wider commonwealth this has been true for all my life and my parents too. Look up Sir Clive Lloyd, Sir Bobby Robson, etc. There’s a lot of orders of knights who are appointed solely at the discretion of the monarch in there but those specific orders are usually related to the functional aspects of the monarchy. I’m thinking specifically of the orders of the Garter and Thistle here. Generally, at least in Elizabeth’s reign the majority of honours I’ve seen have been for service to the community, arts, sports etc. and the person has genuinely been involved.

    Agree on the lordships though
