  not the first to notice that brian, i get accused of being him all the time.
  
  last was on a ferry last summer when a chap with a strong yorkshire accent sidled up and said "are you who i think you are"?
  
  i replied "possibly, depends who you think i am".
  
  he gave me a look that seemed to say "why are you speaking in that silly accent", then stormed off.

  Here is a picture of Dickie Bird waiting in line to collect his gong yesterday..oh ermmm oooops. I appear to have my captions all askew, it seems to be reading Howard McS here
  
  

  

  
  
  Always thought that too Brian. I used to watch Cricket back in dem great days of the Eighties Imran Khan, Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee and of course Dickie Bird..

  Imran Khan in his young days, shure now you're talking
  
  Shure what do you need an OBE for Howard, you've got a Plaque
  
  I think I've said this before but I shall say it again, I like that pic of Howard above there, very Andrew Marr'ish

  Always useful to have friends in high places.
