Holy Crap ! #GrumpyOldRick , #RickWakeman #CBE to you, has just dropped in an interview with #RickBeato. You might think recognition awarded by the Queen for "almost Knighthood" as mere title is almost ancillary to all the incredible #Music over time, but the stories ARE incredible.Role of aspiring comedian is not part of this interview but you can go elsewhere for that. Advisedly you cannot bullshit Rick regarding music skills. Don't even try. Honor the history

The hubris of the NYS DOT is incredible. The only true thing they said was that the bridges are falling apart. Let them. The presenter tried to present the project as something helping the Bronx. Hah!

#CBE5BridgesRehabProject
First link has a list of electeds to harangue. Supposedly this project passed environmental review (#NEPA). Hah! #NYSDOT and #NYCDOT have proven time and time again to be worthless and misleading. This is no exception.

'I won!' #Honours system loses its sense of modesty

Why would any of us be surprised that there are companies that help with nominations for an #honour, with price menus between £2,500 & £40,000 for applications for awards such as a #CBE , #MBE or #OBE

One agency claims it has a 65% success rate for its services for helping with honours applications

It aint what you do, its how much money you pay.... #corruption
