Watch what you're saying Harcus, imagine if I was a reporter from the Daily Mail.

[Karl Fletcher]

Day off work if he croaks it

Day off work if he croaks it

 

When you put it like that, well he's had a good innings has he not?

 

We've all got to die sometime.

If Tup died it would be like when the Duke of Edinburgh died.

[Karl Fletcher]

If I make it to 91, I'll be chuffed.

 

Could put Aberdeen on the map if he snuffs it here.

So in the space of 24 hours we've helped bring Darren Fletcher's career back but killed off a Royal!

[Big Man]

I always thought it was odd that he didn't attend the Olympic closing ceremony.

 

I think he's been ill for days and this is the first we are hearing of it because he's suddenly taken a bad turn.

 

Edit: Harry looked like he had thoughts that were laying heavy on his mind as well if i remember correctly.

Did people get off work when Diana died?

 

I was 6 or 7 so I have no idea.

 

Cue tup making a predictable 'Asda is open 24/7' LOLS

[Dynamo]

To be fair to him, the Duke seems decent enough.

I honestly thought you were well in your 40's.

Is this trending?

[K-9]

Yaas - a possible national public holiday?!?!

[dj_bollocks]

Nope - DofE doesn't get you one... So stop planning your day offs.... Just the Queen, Prince of Wales, and WIlliam at a push...

[dj_bollocks]

A few days ago we had an Olympic cauldron too... Just saying...

[Ke1t]

This is the guy who didn't want to shake the hand of some African dignitary in case the guy nicked his watch... and referred to Chinese as 'slanty-eyed'.

 

I don't usually like Royalty, but I will say this about Phil... I don't like him either.

[tutankamun]

There are no specific rules for State Funerals. Although a few years ago the DofE refused a State Funeral (he just wants a private funeral) so there will be no holiday when he dies.

[tightbreeks]

what what.

 

he's old school, casual racism is a given with the auld yins. and a bit of wet nurse, i bet it still rankles that he's had to be servile to the wife.

Not so servile when he's ramming his cock up her arse.

[tightbreeks]

ouch

 

imagine the queen having a poo?! is that treason?

If they're all culled in a plane crash or something then, we're looking at nearly a week off.

 

Old Phil is pretty funny tbf, some of his comments were class

[tutankamun]

Prince Philip's top ten gaffes and gags

 

1 "You can't have been here that long - you haven't got a pot belly".

[Frank Butcher]

I actually like him

 

Not a big fan of the royal family, but dont think they actually do any harm.

 

but if I could keep one of them, it would be this man, a proper old school deluded gent reminds me of my grandad says things exactly as they are, non of this PC crap, but because of the liberal left who make the most noise in this country, he is considered as a racist.

 

Even if he is a German/greek or what ever country he came from, who cares.

 

Bloke seems like a loveable sort of man who would be an ace uncle, I personely wish him no harm and I bet he would be great laugh, he aint really done any harm to anyone really, so hope he pulls through.

Some classics here

 

 

 

1967

 

When asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union: "I would like to go to Russia very much, although the bastards murdered half my family."

 

1969

The Duke said to Tom Jones after his Royal Variety Performance: "What do you gargle with, pebbles?".

 

He later added: "It is very difficult at all to see how it is possible to become immensely valuable by singing what I think are the most hideous songs."

 

On the Royal Family's finances: "We go into the red next year. I shall probably have to give up polo."

 

1976

On a tour of Canada: "We don't come here for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves."

 

1981

During the recession he mused:

[BrianFaePerth]

Eh like auld Phil, he keeps it real. Calls a spade a spade
