[waspiflab]

common??

[Cobra]

I appologise for my English lol Kinda shocking for a guy with an A in A-Level English Language  ;D

[Hagar]

I think I deserve a knighthood. Who is going to post a petition on Mr B. Liar's website proposing that I get one?

Sorry but the whole idea is ridiculous.

[waspiflab]

too much Bournemouth sun.

I thought knighthoods were strictly at the whim of the ruling monarch; didn't know there were petitions.   :-?

"Arise, Sir Loin of Beef; Duke of Ellington; Count of Basie..."

Petitions are a new gimmick of our current PM, Mr B Liar. Government by petition. I ask you. The whole thing is a complete farce.

It's democracy at its best.
Takes a bit longer 'though...

I think you're confusing petitions with referenda.

Didn't work before, won't work now.

It's odd to me that they've "democratized" even that tradition.
I think bestowing those honors is a perfect task for a monarch in a parliamentary system...  A good monarch should have a feel for who's popular, and it's not like they give them land with the title anymore or anything.

Seems to be doing OK with His Royal Tonyness  ;D
