Title: New Year's Honours list for Pendraken.
Post by: Techno on 31 December 2015, 07:50:58 PM
I can't be bothered to make Nobby just 'Oik of the Year for 2015'......

It's about time he had the title he fully deserves.

Ladies and Gentlemen.....Will you please raise your glasses to....

Lord Oik of Runcorn.

And also......... in recognition of their oikishness,

Sir Oik of Scotland. (Westmarcher)

And an O.P.E (Oik of the Pendraken Empire) to Tawa..

(Happy New Year to you ALL.)

Cheers - Phil

(Any further nominations should be posted in this thread, where they'll be given due consideration.)

Does this mean Nobby is now officially a nob?

No the k isn't missing.

Does that mean that the forums military ranking system is no longer valid...? :o

Best wishes to all for 2016!

As a lord, I shall continue to be the same old Nobby you know and love. Except of course that I shall no longer interact with members below general, and I need some cadet to be my fag.

I think Lemmey needs an award for his services to the Pendraken Arms.

Perhaps a Bar to his Lounge?

Yeah.....Will can have that, no problem.

Though we don't want to get accused of cronyism, do we ?  :D

You realise that I'll probably be refused entry into the investiture.
They got terribly sniffy the last time I turned up in my best scarecrow togs.

Congrats - uh - M'Lord!  And I thank my lucky stars that I am resently promoted!

PaulR - thanks for your concern - it is true that I only understand about half of what goes on here so I hope you and others will countinue to provide explainations  :)

In this case I read Tom Brown's School Days back in the beginning of time and have an inkling BUT will grant that some details may have been glossed over :)

Please, please don't give Techno the sword at my investiture.

Congratulations also, Sir Westie!

I wonder, would simply calling you "Oik Scotus" be acceptable - just for ease of typing?

He DID find me an obscure CD, after all.

Recommendations gang ?

Why just a few Orcs. I am sure there are some Goblins and Wood Elves out there who are pretty dishonourable as well
