Remembering Bolger
OPINION: Is it now time for the country's top agricultural university to start thinking about a name change - something that has been mooted in the past?
Don’t worry, the state broadcaster RNZ has someone who can help.
The other week, Paddy Gower did a much-publicised interview with Jim Bolger on the great man’s 90th birthday.
Jim Bolger, ever the gentleman, did not correct the gushing venerable Paddy boy who throughout the interview referred to the former PM as ‘Sir Jim’.
Well Paddy, this old mutt plans to send you a library card so that you can read about the fact that Jim has forever refused a knighthood, due probably to his strong Irish roots, which he is deeply proud of.
But if anyone is missing a knighthood, perhaps call the King’s own Paddy Gower and he can confer it on radio.
