I think the 230 years refers to the monarch sitting down with "senior ministers." Mintball's date was something less impressive. |

| Quote JerryChicken="JerryChicken"No, not at all, possibly "Sir" or "Ma'am" would do but then its a term of address that I might use for anyone, certainly wouldn't be comfortable calling someone "Majesty" or "Highness".
And on a related topic I had to smile last night when I read that Danny Boyle was rumoured to recently have turned down a knighthood because it would destroy his self image of being "normal" and his commonality (if there is such a word) - good for him, if placed in the same position then I'd like to think I'd do the same, its one reason why I don't want Kevin Sinfield to accept any award that a fawning RFL may wish to eventually nominate him for - would destroy his self image straight off
 '"
Do you mean his image?
How would you know what his self-image would be?
Just curious. |

He's stated on several occasions and interviews, most notably to Clair Balding before the CC Final, that his background is in socialist politics and his hero is Che Guevara - everyone thought he was joking at first, but he wasn't.
I don't think Che would accept a knighthood |

I don't think that the RFL would be in a position to offer one of those though.
What they would offer he would probably accept.
I hope you won't be disappointed.  |

Some would argue Feudalism never really went away. |

If he ever accepts even a nomination of any sort of award from the RFL, or any other organisation, then he'll drop like a stone in my esteem - you can add to his list of achievements that he nearly "turned" Claire Balding as well.
