A Knighthood for Richard Whiteley

"If anyone should be Knighted then it's me. We went head to head if you remember."

"I remember when I remembered Richard had been in Dictionary Corner. That was the best moment of my life, bar none."

"It's interesting to say that the Dutch equivalent of Richard Whiteley recieved the Dutch equivalent of a Knighthood (a goose)."

"Sober Sarah (comment number 237), had Richard been a Jew, I'm not sure he wold have been allowed in the Synagogue. His poor performances, on Countdown and in life in general, would have landed him in the Sinner 'Gogue!"

"I'm the closest thing Buster will have to a counterpart, so he had better like it or lump it (thood4dickpls)."

"UMMMMMMMMMM! Big dick whiteley : ) I'll have to agree with my boyfriend eamon Gormley, Without Richard im nothing! Our group wanking sessions wouldn't be the same without richard on tv so for that alone he deserves the knighthood! My ex boyfriend Kieran M"

"To commerate Richard he deserves it"

"The equivalent of Richard's Countdown-presenting ability in tennis terms is two US Open titles and an Australian Open title, but unfortunately two defeats in the final at Wimbledon, one going to five sets. Interestingly, only a quarter final appearence in"

"Dassa! Dassa! E hin ta Hood-knightba on bak Richardba Whiteleyba! Im!"

"With the Royal wedding fast approaching, rumour has it that Kate Middleton is finding Richard's reanimated corpse rather appealing and may actually marry him instead in a rival ceremony to be shown exclusively on Dave. I think that means he'll replace Wil"

"Ever the one to embrace youth culture - this ultimately led to his death (wtf is this about the London bombs, guy?) but perhaps it would be of the ultimatest respect to him for him to win the first ever Knighthoodie."

"he's a star!!"

"Richard Whiteley - the inventor of Coca Cola and runner beans. He also presented Countdown for which he should win a Kinghthood."

"Sorry for the second post, but this is really important. I've just realised that if Richard was made into a second Queen, he would then have the ability to Knight himself! Swivel on that, David Pugmire!"

"The Knighthood cupboard is locked. I'm just waiting for a key."

"We've done it too! Now I just wash and go!"

"I love him so much i have to sign again if thats ok! I had sweet (wet) dreams about him last night. Please cum to omagh please!"

"Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary "

"Richard may not have got his knighthood, but he will always be my knight in shining armour, even from beyond the grave. I love you."

"В"

"Why? This man is boring - what good has he done gor society I ask you? countdown is crap! its the only thing he is really known for! what a boring life - however he is a little more interesting than the boring saddos that add their name to this petition!"

"Rise Sir Richard of Whiteley"

"Can I just add my name to the list - of people who should receive a Knighthood? Just to clarify, I am not a pointless twat."

"I can only assume he was as truly a nice a man as everyone says "Himoff" the telly was. One of the good guys."
