Those two are probably quite satisfied with the money they stripped out of the BNZ, Telecom and TranzRail before shooting through to Switzerland. |

| 754630 | 2009-03-08 21:18:00 | Titles have been around for yonks. We call a Magistrate "Your Worship" for example. Some I have had dealings with are somewhat less than worshipful. Don't get me started on politicians who are "Right Honourable" and aren't. |

| 754631 | 2009-03-08 21:20:00 | We shouldn't really let this become a Labour vs National issue. But when Labour removed the titles, there was an overwhelming response from NZ polls that we wanted them reinstated. National is simply doing what the people requested... | Wheels (7227) | ||
| 754632 | 2009-03-08 21:22:00 | Last time I had to front in court I called magistrate squire he didnt seem to mind. There was a bit of laughter from the cheap seats. Humour must of worked as I got off. |

| 754633 | 2009-03-08 21:23:00 | Personally, I'm more worried about where I'm going to put my castle, once I'm knighted. And where do you get decent Wenches from these days? | the_bogan (9949) | ||
