Must be honest, there are some absolute shockers on the list!
Route to a gong:
Soap actors,
Pop singers and reality show participants,
Footballer
And these are society's role models. The UK's values have gone mad

What about the 2 fundraising kids.
The school governesses
Or housekeeper to name a few?
I'm no great fan of honours but at least be honest with your posting.

It aint perfect by a long way but from the gov website - The Honours List continues to give recognition to those showing courage and leadership in their local areas, with 63% of the New Year Honours List awarded for community work.
put it on pay per view

There are a lot of good people out there and that 63% shows that’s true.
But for everyone of them that has been awarded a honour there are thousands more just as deserving.
It’s just unfair imo.
I’m sure you and I know people like this, I have 2 nieces and a son in law that work in the front line for the NHS and they have had a tough 2 years, there will be no New Years honors for them.
Anyway Happy New Year

I simply listed the few types that irritate ME, there's no need to give a full breakdown!

You made a statement about roll models.
I'd say your post was disingenuous.

Why not list those you think are worthy? Are bike riders or tennis players more deserving?

Had a club delivered yesterday, this was the packaging as delivered, unopened.
Fortunately the club was fine

I once had a cymbal (for a drum kit) delivered in a taped up bin liner, it still puzzles me how it never got smashed to bits ?

Isn't this like sitting close to the fire and complaining about the heat?
If you don't want to be upset about the list, don't read the list.

It irritates me that these are portrayed as role models. I'm not asking for anyone's approval !!
The first rule of Random Irritations is don't complain about someone's random Irritation.
In answer to your question however, it's all over the news, it's all over news websites. Very tough to avoid unless I go for a news blackout
And back to rule no 1...........

People who challenge other poster's personal irritations for no reason other than to be argumentative. !!

Not seen the full list of the honours ( know a friend got one ) but beyond the sports stars who are the big controversies this year ?
Seen the big issue is that David Beckham didn’t get a knighthood ?

beckham should be knighted for keeping his Mrs out of the recording studio
