December 22[edit]

Johnny Hubbard MBE[edit]

Which year did Johnny Hubbard receive his MBE? Hack (talk) 09:19, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All the news coverage about it was in March 2016. He apparently received it from South Ayrshire Provost Helen Moonie as all the articles and photos state that she gave it to him. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 13:33, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That was an award from South Ayrshire council, not the MBE, which would be given by the Queen, or more likely her representative: either another member of the Royal Family or a Lord Lieutenant. There are links to the full honours lists back to 2008 here, but I can't find Hubbard on any of them. There are links to The London Gazette going back to 1940 here, but there seems to be no easy way of searching in these. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 18:29, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Silly me. His book, The Penalty King, says he received it in 1998. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 20:04, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed by the Scottish Daily Record. --Antiquary (talk) 20:07, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are full lists for all honours as seen in the links from the article Orders, decorations, and medals of the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, Hubbard does not appear in either of the lists from 1998. This may be because he only received an Honorary MBE: as a South African citizen he would not have been eligible for the real thing. Wymspen (talk) 23:20, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are many MBEs conferred without being listed in a Gazette? Hack (talk) 01:28, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What's so explicit?[edit]

I saw the Hamilton (album) has a Parental Advisory label on its cover. Is there any cursing and/or swearing in the musical of the same name?2604:2000:7113:9D00:75EB:281B:973E:D41A (talk) 12:27, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Short answer: yes, but not excessive. However, the subject does deal with adult situations: violence, adultery, etc. See here: Is the Broadway Musical Hamilton Appropriate for Kids? Hope this helps. Maineartists (talk) 13:13, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much.2604:2000:7113:9D00:75EB:281B:973E:D41A (talk) 21:15, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
