well, for one, you posted in your bio.. and 2 i am not so much focucing on your OBE, (but i am curious) i was asking a serious question. what is the OBE about. is it a military award? or one given by the crown for any great national achievement.. you can send me a PM -- even if you don't want to recieve any, i am pretty sure you can still send one.

and to segue to something else, how is your name said in UK?

when i was a child, our pharmasist name was Maurice. but my irish born mother said his name closer to Morris..(i was 18 before i realize that his name wasn't Morris!) i would say Mahr eese for Maurice, and moor iss for Morris..

How is it said your side of the pond, and how about here, and Up South? (and lets not forget Wow, in down east!)
