Holmes receives honorary degree

Belfast-born broadcaster Eamonn Holmes has received an honorary degree from Queen's University Belfast.
WHY?
Holmes was awarded a doctorate for services to broadcasting.
Oh - that's why!
Queen's Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Gerry McCormac described Holmes as a "unique and remarkable man".
Unique! - in what way?
"Being himself is always what Eamonn Holmes has done best, and he has done it with humour, energy, intelligence and flair," he said.
Oh, I see - being yourself is unique - unlike being somebody else which is really commonplace!
"Although he's now a celebrity, he has never forgotten his roots. He has never forgotten his family, friends or indeed any of us who live here in Northern Ireland."
OH - he certainly hasn't forgotten Belfast - does nothing but run it down and complain how filthy it is and then gets a doctorate. Those people in Queens University will give doctorates to just about anybody!!!!
