So Mark Todd earns another medal after 28 years service. It is a puzzle that this man has not received a knighthood. What other sportsman has served us so well?

That aside will Mark be the last NZ warrior. I think so, we are becoming a race of limp wristed PC indoctrinated gutless wonders.
Why do I say well how about the ginger beer advert and the outcry that followed it and hardly a whimper about the water rights claim.
Will it soon be an offence to call a Blonde Blondie? Will it be an offence to call a tall person Lofty? Come on the NZ summon up the blood imitate the action of the Tiger and reignite the fire in your belly and become the great NZrs we always used to be before PC reared its ugly slimy head. Gosh perish the thought but one day will an All black has to apologise for a heavy tackle during a test match.
