Queen strips Mugabe of Knighthood

I didn't know he had been Knighted - why didn't we withdraw this accolade years ago????? Dear oh Dear....soft old Britain again.

Aye removing his Knighthood will whip him back into line in no time I'm sure. WTF. Whats next a strongly worded letter to his embassy. He really is taking the piss out of the very weak UN. If he had oil this would be a different story. I want one of those shirts he wears though.

Bloody hell Dave.

Having one of your Victor Meldrew evening`s, have a pint and calm down

[Dave_L]

haha - no I'm just a little sick of the UK as it is - it's off it's head some days!

No beer for me tonight, early start tommorrow, got to be on top form!

If I have one beer now, it'll turn into 8 - and by the time 4.30am ticks around tommorrow, I'll be a bag o'shite! :laugh:

Things could be worse mate, you could have one of Mugabe`s henchmen persuading you not to vote.

Count your blessings bla bla bla..............................

I've heard that Zimbabwe has an awful lot of stuff like uranium and other minerals but all the contracts have been taken up by the Chinese!

I never let things that we have no control over get to me. politics like football are best left to the spin DRs etc. Bread and butter is my main concern.
