There have been lords one I think is Lord Rutherford of Nelson.

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

754628 2009-03-08 21:07:00 David Fagan has just won the Golden Shears again at the age of 47 beating some world champions. His prize money was $3000 so he doesn't compete for the money but love of the sport. A prime candidate to be the first new Knight in the June honours Dally (6292)
754629 2009-03-08 21:09:00 PaulD - you'll note that Mount Eden and Rangipo are prisons Dally (6292)
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)

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)
