Can you not see honesty and empathy pouring out of every pore ?

The next step is canonisation, to become Saint Tony of Kensington... or possibly the other canonisation, involving his interaction with rapidly moving chunks of jacketed lead.

I know which one I am partial for him to experience.

Humanitarian: Ringo Starr

Well, I suppose we can be glad it's not Bono and perhaps I'm not aware of the great works he gets up to, but...

...Ringo Starr?

So "pickled" comes after "gherkins" - I wonder if it's the same with pickled eggs?

Having read GQ a few times over the years. I'm not surprised by this decision. SO far out of touch with reality on everything from fashion to style to interior design to even their crappy half arsed fawning interviews.

I get they want to play to the uber cool late 20s/early 30s young professionals crowd. But when they are plugging sofas for £8-10K you do wonder who in this country is buying their rag? Patrick Bateman?

If you ignore Iraq and the debt, then maybe, just maybe he'd make the shortlist.
