    Default Ainslie and Wiggo get knighted.

    Bloody New Years honours list is out.

    Whatever you think about honours, this year's list makes interesting reading after our great British summer of sport.


    Ben Ainslie becomes Sir Ben Don't Make Me Angry.
    And so does Bradley Wiggins – Sir Wiggo Des Champs Elysees...

    Brilliant.

    Danny Boyle refused an offer of a knighthood. If he could go higher in my estimation.

    Glad to hear that David Howlett got an MBE too – Ainslie's coach, and coach to many other medallists over the years.

    Silver medal PLUS strictly come dancing. The latter is probably more important.
