Do we bow?

Do we bow?

Yes. Here is a video of Chapek greeting him last night:

As I understand it, non-British people are given "honorary" knighthood rather than "real" knighthood. Though I have to be honest, I don't know what the difference is since I think of knighthood as being an honorary thing anyway. Perhaps I'm just ignorant of the specifics.

More letters on his tombstone - Sir

Sorry Sir Bob, better luck next time

"If you’re not a Brit, you may be wondering if you’ll ever get to become “Sir/Dame American”. Unfortunately for you, you can’t do that. You can become an honorary knight, so you do get to slap the rank as a suffix to your name. If you’re an honorary knight and one day become a British citizen, you can be nudged to a true knight. "

If Iger's a knight, does that make Chapek his squire?

Fraternal order of gilded ego?

You’re wrong…

Harrison ford was knighted in Patriot Games…before he found the one armed man

That was well deserved. Pondering the other.

What do you have against Johnny Williams?

What did he do for England?

Relieved long dreary knights?....

 

[Goofyernmost]

Do we bow?

I believe that a curtsey will be sufficient.

 

[Goofyernmost]

For those of you that don't feel that money can buy anything, this should be an eye opener. What in the hell did Iger do, on his own, to benefit anyone in any extreme manner? Maybe he just thought it, so that made it so. Seems like a popular approach these days.

If you thought Bob was “humble” before, he’ll be insufferably so now.

Guess spending lots of money shooting tentpoles in England will get you a knighthood these days.
