	House of Commons - Public Administration - Written Evidence
		This elaborate system of British imperial honours has gradually been downsized as the British Empire has downsized.
		Second, such honours as remain have ceased to be imperial and are now merely British, since (with very few exceptions) former colonies and dominions have evolved their own indigenous honours systems, and thus no longer award British honours.
		These new honours were all precisely located within the existing national order of precedence; they carried a very strong hierarchical message; and they were authentically imperial in that they were awarded to people living across the whole spread of the British Empire.

	Dual-Code Signings - Can They Ever Be Successful? TykesRugby.co.uk - Unofficial Leeds Tykes News and Views
		Well, clearly he's holding down a regular place in the Gloucester side, and is in the mix for England 'A' honours all the time, but not quite there for the world cup.
		So thus we have the initial problem with dual-code signings that they are by definition going to be balanced towards one or other of the codes.
		So within all that, crowbar a full season of rugby league fixtures, and you are going to have very tired players who are unable to give their all in either code, and are therefore likely to be more suseptible to serious injury.

	House of Commons - Public Administration - Written Evidence
		But they do share the dual identity that hereditary peerages exhibited until recently: they are both titles of honour (as are knighthoods and baronetcies) and they are also (unlike knighthoods and baronetcies) power positions, since they carry with them membership of the upper house of the British legislature.
		(B) Honours in the sovereign's gift—the Royal Victorian Order and the Royal Victorian Chain; the Order of Merit; the Order of the Thistle; and the Order of the Garter.
		But it might be worth wondering whether it is sensible to have both Companions of Honour and the Order of Merit.

	A65
		No longer the main trunk route north from Leeds (the A660 now does the honours, see separate posting), the A65 heads west from City Square, through the western suburbs of Kirkstall, then out into the commuter belt of Rawdon and Menston, and finally meeting the A660 at Burley-in-Wharfedale.
		With the coming of the M6 in 1971, a short dual carriageway spur was built to link to junction 36 - this was later extended as a dual carriageway link to the A6 at Levens and the Kendal bypass - originally the A591, but now A590 (see Roads by 10 postings).
		As I've said elsewhere, it would have made more sense for the A660 to be the A65, and form one continuous trunk road, but that would have been far too sensible.

	Connolly
		The last battle of the Carabiniers was a gun dual between a C Squadron tank and an enemy gun (a captured British 25 Pounder) the tank did not stand a chance and its entire crew was lost.
		The Carabiniers were awarded thirteen battle honours for their service in Burma but it must be stated that only mere handful of Officer's and Men would see the campaign through from start to finish.
		Then the bombshell dropped, the Hussars were to be disbanded and used to reinforce the Carabiniers and also the rest to Special Forces (later to be known as Chindits) It would be impossible to describe the feeling of the Officers and Men but the decision had been made and as soldiers we must obey.

	AskWhy! on Sun Gods as Atoning Saviours - Christianity Revealed
		A relic of the original belief in the dual solar nature of the Christian myth, it must have been said at the birth of the summer sun at the winter solstice, for, in this myth, John is the winter sun, as his association with water makes clear.
		Though some of the disciples of Buddhism, and some of the earliest professors of Christianity also, including, according to Christian history, Peter and his brother Andrew, voluntarily chose this mode of dying in imitation of their crucified Lord, they were not promoted to divine honours.
		Nature Worship generally, and Agrarian in particular, were responsible for the Tammuz cult of Babylon, with which the worships of Adonis and Attis, and even of Dionysus, are so unmistakably allied.

	Archive May 28, 2001 Saying goodbye to Citizen Black
		In August of that year, Black launched a lawsuit against Chrétien for "abuse of public office" and sought a declaration that the Canadian government lacks authority to advise the Sovereign not to confer an honour on a British citizen or a holder of dual nationality.
		In June of 1999, the Prime Minister blocked Black's name from being included on the Queen's birthday honours list on the inane basis that he held a Canadian citizenship.
		Black has been a critic of everything the Chrétien Liberals stand for: excessively high and punitive rates of taxation, an economic climate not conducive to economic growth and a general attitude of disdain toward entrepreneurs and risk-takers in our society.

		Colours have become the symbol of the spirit of a regiment, for they bear the battle honours and badges granted to the regiment in commemoration of the gallant deeds performed by its members from the time it was raised.
		The origin of the customs of carrying Colours goes back to the days of early man, who fixed his family badge to a pole and held it aloft in battle for the dual purpose of indicating his position and acting as a rallying point should the occasion arise.
		The Standard (a square banner) was then carried by a knight; the Guidon (an ensign or standard ending with a tail or point, now swallow-tailed) being carried by a banneret.
