| 754596 | 2009-03-08 03:27:00 | Hooray - titles with meaning in countries other than this one!! Not that it has any real meaning to me. I suspect I will never attain the lofty heights.... |

| 754597 | 2009-03-08 03:27:00 | Why were the titles removed in the first place? | somebody (208) | ||
| 754598 | 2009-03-08 03:32:00 | Socialist nonsense. Wanting something "relevant to New Zealanders", because the intention was to become a Republic.... Helen missed her chance there. | johcar (6283) | ||
| 754599 | 2009-03-08 04:04:00 | Reflecting on my first post, I feel that some will really deserve the honour, others will not... Ken |

| 754600 | 2009-03-08 04:56:00 | Agreed completely Ken. But at least we will know who has been recognised, even if we feel it has not really been earned. First one would go to Owen Glenn in my book, for several reasons. ;) | Richard (739) | ||
| 754601 | 2009-03-08 05:03:00 | Hmmm - when I googled "Owen Glenn" this was on the first hit (www.kiwiblog.co.nz) under facts about Owen Glenn... 1. He was not born in New Zealand. 2. He has not lived in New Zealand for over 40 years. 3. He is not eligible to vote in New Zealand. |

One of the few things that labor did in it's 9 years was to get rid of this rubbish. Lets become a state of Ozz and get rid of this stuff once and for all.. |

You seem to be treading on thin ice there especially when you call Sir Ed a snob and a ponce. And we should note at the moment he is not currently around to defend himself. Go off and climb Mount Everest! |
