Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
Can I sign?
As Howard is a rodent, Australia still recognises the queen as head of state but maintains separate sovreignty
That ain't no English I ever dun heard!
Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
Who is Howard?
And why is he a rodent?
(I know I am politically retarded so forgive the questions please.)

Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
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).

Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
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.

Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
but can I sign?

Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)

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

Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
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?
That ain't no English I ever dun heard!
Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
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.

Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
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.
''I'd type some smart arsed quote but I'm better than that.''
Re: Sir Terry! (hopefuly)
And technically honorary knights such as those aren't entitled to call themselves "sir"...
