I received an honorific over the holidays. I was named in the new year’s honours list – of the Monster Raving Loony Party. They made me Minister for Big Issues.
Quite why I was deserving of being on their 2024 list, or what extra duties or rights this confers, are not clear. But in the same announcement Alice Alice Cooper) was made Minister of Home Skooling and the great Scottish comedian Janey Godley was named Minister of Honey Flavoured Sausage Dogs, so it’s good company. If confusing. The thing seems to involve a title, a picture of me in a big hat and not a huge amount else. Probably best not to delve too deeply. So, thank you, Loonies.
