Annie Lennox – who used to sing songs with Eurythmics – has been awarded an OBE in Queen Elizabeth II’s New Year’s Honours list. She’s doling them out to any old clown now isn’t she? Do you think hecklerspray should send the suit to the dry cleaners in case we get a call-up?

Anyway, Lennox has been honoured for her charity work in Africa which is, y’know, very good and all that gubbins.

However, what is surprising about this gong is not that she’s been recognised, but rather, the manner in which she accepted it. Apparently, she’s some kind of renegade. You heard.
