//Henry said: "I'm being pummelled from all sides by my family, saying, 'Do we get some land? Do we get a castle now? Do we get 100 men in plate armour following us around Dudley?'//

lol - no you get first pick of the virgins

[retrocop]

Probably bought the Knighthood with his latest lottery win.Now he is Lord of the Manor.

[Mamyalynne]

Well done to him , not my favourite as a funny man but his acting has had some acclaim as has his links with charity work.

[Sipowicz]

He said the Knighthood was for his charity work.

[teacher1]

Shouldn't it be ....... nighthood ...... with all that time spent in bed on the TV ads. lol

[aelmpvw]

well he wasn't likely to say it was for making people laugh

[retrocop]

The Vicar of Dibley missed out on a becoming a Lady. :-(

interesting comment from chris evans yesterday, if you were watching tiswas in the 1970s, of all the regulars, chris tarrant, sally james, bob carolgees, lenny henry, the phantom flan flinger - how many would have had lenny down to get the knighthood?

I know it was some time ago, but loved him in 'Hope and Glory.' Congratulations Lenny.

[ladybirder]

Well is wasn't for making people laugh it was for co-founding Comic Relief which has raised over £1bn over the years. Good for him.

[Lie-in King]

Congratulations to him!

Bazile, what do you mean about the virgins?

[Mamyalynne]

I hate to introduce a sour note Bazille, but if your first reply was to demonstrate a comic line from you compared to one by Lenny - I don't think yours cuts the mustard.

Unnecessary springs to mind.

[Bazile]

what are you on about ?

[Mamyalynne]

The final sentence of your first reply on this thread.

[Bazile]

What's your problem ?

[Mamyalynne]

I give up, I really do.

[ichkeria]

Well done Sir Lenny. A "true" comic talent

///But even after such leaks, it's almost unheard of for the person being honoured to then publicly confirm the news before the honours list is officially published.///

Says it all really!

As he says, it must be for his Charity Work 'cause he was never that funny!

Can't stand the man. I'd settled down last week to watch The Syndicate until he appeared, swiftly turned it off...
