Sir Terry! (hopefuly)

what a great idea,pity i am not a british citizen or in a british colony(not anymore anyway).but to those of you who are i urge you to sign and get others to sign.

Yeah! Sir Terry here we come.
I put my name down right away.

*sings* signatures, signatures, PUT yore signatures heya!

Can I sign?
As Howard is a rodent, Australia still recognises the queen as head of state but maintains separate sovreignty

Who is Howard?
And why is he a rodent?

(I know I am politically retarded so forgive the questions please.)

He's the Prime Minister of Australia, and I think why he's a rodent is that our dear Sergeant would rather not be attached to Britain any more, so would have liked the recent* vote over dropping the queen as head of state to have had a different result (in the end they decided to keep the British queen as queen of Australia).

Mr Scrub

*a couple of years ago, I think

OH HELL NO!
He's a rodent since even his own cabin\ate members have called him "the rodent" and no I'd rather the queen than give him presidential powers as did most of OZ. besides which I'm Hungarian so the actual feud with Britain does not intetrest me. I just don't like howard

and now for a payed presentation

GO GREENS!

P.S. their drug policy is wrongfully represented and people should actually go to the site and read it before condemning it.

but can I sign?

sorry, but you answered your own question.

ie

"hungarian" + "australia"

so no sorry australia isn't a british colony anymore, even if the queen is head of state

by hungarian I mean I have aussie citizenship but I've trained people well enough that I haven't been called aussie i9n years...touchy point.

but Don bradman was knighted and that i think was post 1901 which means an aussie is eligible to BE knighted so why not vote?

because you're not worth the vote,you're not special like don bradman,that guy was a legend,that's why he got knighted,do something great and then you can vote.

It's called an HONORARY knighthood. It's for those who aren't british but have done SUCH a service for Britain that they merit one anyway. e.g Sir Terry Wogan is only an honorary knight because he is actually IRISH.

And technically honorary knights such as those aren't entitled to call themselves "sir"...

MS

it's funny how that happens,cos we call people 'sir' all the time here in SA.
