A Knighthood for Richard Whiteley

"I never presented Countdown myself but I think I probably would have been better than Richard. May I humbly ask that this petition is altered to include me as well?"

"Sew me up an call me a purse, I cannot believe Richie boy still hasn't gotten his knighthood. It's just rotten luck, and though his corpse be rotten too, it's no reason not to right this wrong."

"I love richard whiteley and everytime countdown is on i try and beat the clock to see if i can cum before the clock stops. I try to imagine richards face dripping in my hot stuff. Sometimes I don't make it and I have to hold it in till the clock starts ag"

"He's a true British gentleman (9 letter word) worthy of becoming a "Sir""

"When you think of all the immigrants, rapists and PE teachers that have won this award, you'd think that Richard would walk all over it. But it seems they were more happy for him to die first! I won't be voting for Queen Elizabeth next election."

"he's an oasis of niceness in a world of hate"

"Well after todays news 26/06/05 I guess we'll be looking for a posthumous(i think that is how you spell it) Knighthood for Richard Whiteley, R.I.P"

"Richard Whiteley isn't dead - he's just in the third half of his life!"

"D.I.C.K.H.E.A.D.S ..A nine letter word that sums you lot up"

"Queen, I don't know how many knighthoods are left (but I presume they can be polished and reused when people die), but even if there is just one available it should go to Richard."

"I remember when Richard conducted an entire show in Morse Code. I have a rolling eleven-year memory and this happened ten and a half years ago so I won't remember it for much longer. It's one of the memories I will miss most of all."

"He was the Greates Ever, what more can one say"

"I'm dead too and got no knighthood"

"I feel that some of you aren't taking this petition seriously. Having said that, I too can have a laugh when the time fits. But the time fits as much now as a human head fits inside another human head that's even smaller."

"Knighthood for Winehouse? She ain't nothin' but a dame! LOL Seriously though, how many Amy Winehouses does it take to cross the road? An infinite amount plus one -- one to cross the road and then an infinite amount to hold up their massive stacks of hair!"

"Long overdue !"

"Richard used to sell torches my local market. I did too and outsold him on 73 of the 74 occasions that we were at the market together. The one occasion he topped me was the time when the Channel 4 scouts were present. I'm not bitter though. I have a Knigh"

"Richly deserved"

"Perhaps he should be given two Knighthoods because then he could still be "Twice Knightly Whitelely" despite being dead!"

"Imagine if you dug up Richard's skull, took it to the filming of Countdown, and threw it at the new presenter."
