Prince Phil's Gaffes

I really got a laugh out of these. My favourite is the anorexic eating dog.

I reckon Phil was just having a good time and did not care what people thought.

He's always been like this...saying things he shouldn't, when he shouldn't. At 90 years of age, I don't think anyone would care about what others thought and why should he

There are some classic lines in that lot. The one about Princess Anne had me in stitches.

I reckon he just drops a clanger now and then to see if anyone is actually listening to him

Classics. Most of them sound like he was having a tongue-in-cheek joke.End PC so we can have more laughs .Prince Phillip is truly fortunate he can get away with it- time the rest of us can have the same right.

After the Dunblane shooting in Scotland

“If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?”


Insensitive prick! Not funny at all - 09999999(my cat walked over the keyboard and wrote that last numerical bit!)

Sorry mods - breaking my own rule..."Don't Drink N' Post"

Hi,

Charlie's not unlike his Dad as well. Remember him describing Chinese political leaders at the handover of Hong Kong as "appalling old waxworks" ?

They had the last laugh though.

Cheers

Bring it on the world could do with more people willing to speak their own minds. The guy is a national treasure as well as being a good example of why you should not breed with your sister.
