Some comments from Annette Hedworth:

The possibilty of David Beckham receiving a knighthood in the 2007 New Year's Honours is of particular interest to me as I have nominated Jane Tomlinson MBE, cancer patient and charity fundraiser, for a damehood in that list.
I was told by the Honours Department that Jane would not be eligible for another award until June 2008 because of the strict five-year rule. David Beckham received his previous award in 2003, so surely the five-year rule should apply to him too.

Yes, but I'd imagine talk of David Beckham getting a knighthood next year is probably a total fabrication by...um, let's see...the Daily Mail.

The fun don't stop in today's Straight To The Point. And Alun Davies:

As I can only wear one pair of spectacles at a time, rather than two pairs for the price of one, can an optician sell me on at half price?

No, bugger off.

And what would the Mail be without some gay references:

When Flintoff leads his team out for the first Test match against Australia wearing his diamond ear stud, I hope he remembers to leave his handbag in the dressing room

"Flintoff wears an ear stud? Poofter must have a handbag too!"
