I harbour no animus for Kylie Minogue, on the contrary I have always thought her quite a likeable performer, but what has she achieved to warrant the award of an OBE?
Yes, Ms.Minogue has a rather agreeable bottom but so does my wife and yet she have recieved no missives from our monarch this morning.
Furthermore my wife does not hail from such a famously reluctant corner of our great empire.
A rum do, all round.
