How come I did not get a Knighthood this year for my posts to Digital Spy?

Another year I have missed out

Not even a OBE or a CBE either

I'll start a Gofundme page for you if you like, maybe that would help ease your pain?

Couldn't help but think of 'if you build it, he will come' when I read your post (Field of Dreams - ease his pain).

Ask your mates why they didn't nominate you Caxton - it's all their fault

Nothing can console me, I wanted to kneel in front of the Queen as she tapped me on my shoulder with a sword and proclaimed "Arise Sir Caxton of Smallpiece".

A lost opportunity for this Nation, I put it all down to Brexit

Well, after you introduced the printing press into England in the 15th Century I really do believe that King Henry VI , King Edward IV or King Richard III certainly should have knighted you, but I suppose all the royals were too busy fighting the wars of the roses.

Aaah, but that's not a valuable skill to the country. This country only values running, jumping, singing, and kicking or hitting balls.

I was thinking along a similar line, except I had a different f word in there, not fund.

Introduced the printing press to England and still I found time to give 12 years of unstinting service by posting on Digital Spy, day after day I sat trying to compose yet another intellectual masterpiece to send

Do you think maybe it was your posts which put the kibosh on your knighthood?

Hoist by your own petard eh? That's tragic
I think if we can get a photo of you looking sad next to the Queen knighting someone else in the background (or Even Princess Beatrice attacking Ed Sheeran with a sword in that attempted beheading) we could get a double page spread in the media which would boost the footfall flow to your GofundMe page.

You need someone to nominate you. So unless you're famous you need to start hobnobbing with the nobs.

Who do you think would be the best person or persons to hob nob with, I have to find someone in high places that is not the subject of some on going scandal inquiry, that will not be an easy task, few are not tarnished and I cannot risk any scandal.

You need a loud voice, get yourself noticed above the hubbub - post everything in bold capitals for a similar effect.

Sending a large cheque to the Conservative party seems to work.

I have already done that, and it did not work. I sent Teresa a stiff letter, to complain, I got a thank-you letter and a copy of her Brexit plans

bit rude to send you a blank sheet of paper when you'd given such a generous donation
