Arise Sir Bruce

I heard some exciting news on the radio this morning: perennial dirty-old-man Bruce Forsyth is to be knighted. Yay.

Didn't he do well


When asked about it, Bruce said, "...there's been too much talk about it, so I'm thrilled at last it has happened." Then in his next sentence described the award as "unexpected". He's so modest.

Bruce Forsyth is the one in the middle

I heard recently that The Queen doesn't actually say, "Arise Sir Bruce", but something much more mundane, perhaps "I liked that thing wot you did." Perhaps he will retire now that he has (possibly) achieved all his life-goals. Or perhaps he will subject us all to another few years of catchphrase based humour.

That is all.
