They didn't play for the Queen at the opening of the Welsh Assembly though!

As The Gutless Wonder says, the evidence is very much to the contrary.

e.g.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/1999/ma....geoffreygibbs

I can't see Nicky ever accepting any kind of royal honour, I think that's a more fanciful suggestion than the idea of him being offered one really(!), he might contradict himself plenty but still...

I agree that if the tweet about getting rid of his TTOI DVDs was due to Armando Ianuucci accepting an OBE it's very daft and OTT though, IMHO. Yeah, far too many acronyms in that last sentence, I know.

These tweets are getting harder to read. Is there any discernible punctuation at all? Not that I can see

Punctuation on twitter wastes your character count!

I said the lyric to Red Rubber was 'My eyelids as heavy as gold bars' yet someone kept saying that I'd got it wrong!

I'm from the Valleys, and I'm 29. I have never used the word 'stonking'. Just saying.
