Buggins' Turn
Buggins' Turn refers to the way that "honors" are distributed in the Queens Birthday honors list and the New Years honors List. What it means is that at some point, everybody will get something. What it also means is that it seems to be the most unsuitable buggers who get them.
One of my colleagues got an OBE in the NY list. "For services to brown-nosing and drinking tea" is what the citation should have said.
I can only think of one thoroughly deserved award in recent years; Fred Dibnah. Sadly, Mr Dibnah died in November 2004 so he didn't get long to brag about it. Not that he would have bragged. Probably he'd have been more interested in how it was made! Good old Fred. [ok, so this is the second time I've tried to upload a pic today and it still doesn't work]

Aye Fred was the salt of the earth, not many like him around now who liked the simple things in life.
