KNIGHT INVESTED AT PALACE

Our mates are in London for a special occassion and a holiday.

One is there with our newest Knight, Sir Ngatata Love - a very respected academic, visionary and fine leader of his people.

He took with him, to the investiture, our very good friend Aroha Thorpe who has worked tirelessly with Ta Ngatata for many years on many issues.

You can read Aroha and John Thorpes adventures here.. Which included dining at one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants..
We are green with envy.

John didn't get to the palace for the formal proceedings but did get a history lesson.

DINING PRAWN AND HIS ANGEL ON TOUR

The famous legless one is on tour... John Thorpe, once was journalist, once was PR guru and once was sober ( in 2002 by all accounts - I was there wasn't I ?) and always a rambunctious, curmudgeonly and strangely interesting bastard, and his amazing wife Aroha are in the Middle East . They have a blog. And they are blogging up a storm..

We want to know if he manages to find his beloved Nectar of choice - Steinlager.....

Keep an eye on it ... its fun.
