After 35 years of serving: well deserved one would say. It's just that - I still have not found out what's wrong but something keeps irritating me. Maybe it's that he is not British.

Be glad that Norway is knighting penguins instead of raiding mainland Europe and the British Isles for plunder. They've come a long way.....

This honour probably means he qualifies for free fish forever. :lol:

Judging by the avalable photos, this penguin in black tails seems to feel quite comfortably at home when being amongst those parading troops.

I wonder if this might tell us something about the military. :lol:
