Rip Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh.

I think it's mostly tongue in cheek, but I'm not totally sure...

 

I have never in my life said anything serious.

 

I may have said I need a poo poo when I was two. It is universally agreed that I was being serious then.

 

He still talks it a lot of the time...

 

Its an odd world. I’m a Scot

I’m happy to take up the mantle of saying whatever comes to mind. No matter how mildly offensive and inappropriate that might be. Tough job. Needs a specialist. Someone dedicated and passionate about achieving the zenith of diplomatic tact whilst leaving the victims slightly bewildered.

Not sure even in my wildest dreams I could top the slanty eyed quip. Still he proved to be correct.

An awesome bloke. A true Brit - even if he was half Greek, half Norwegian and half German.

 

"...half Greek, half Norwegian and half German". Er, if you say so...

 

Is there a Clan Bot?

 

I was forcibly and without consent born there. I have lost both the accent and the tendency to say Scot/Scotland/ or Scottish before ever other word. This becomes immensely annoying when you are aware of it. A genuine sentence might be “The Scottish climate was particularly fair as the Scottish roads were dry and allowed
me good progress. I was on my way to one of Scotland’s finest cities to watch a play by some of the most talented actors in Scotland.” Etc, etc.

 

He'll ask if there's a Clan 49.

 

I was testing your education did include a stint in Surrey or you would have missed that quip!

 

As you can tell, I am currently honing my skills by antagonising a Scot. I am aware that the average Scot can be triggered into a full on rage by just saying “hello” to them in the wrong accent (English) so this was a easy task. I am however working up to try an insult an American - they are seemingly unable to understand irony and sarcasm. I should enjoy myself immensely.

Actually I was made in Hong Kong, but don't have slanty eyes. As far as Americans are concerned, insofar as one can generalise about a whole nation, there seem to be two types. I have known quite a few who are kind, thoughtful and intelligent. However, there are quite a few who seem to be none of those things, and they are the noisiest.

 

well he wanted a long time to get his card from the queen ,and missed out by 2 months, but it is a sad loss for England

 

RIP Philip, It took a lot of dedication to carry off all the things he has achieved over all those years...not an easy job even if he was considered privileged.

 

Taken from us far too young, I thought there’d be more TV coverage?, mind you with only 24 hours in a day I suppose that’s impossible :-/

 

Blimey...awash with little englanders

 

Dont be such a twat

 

I always thought they tried to represent all the UK - Great Britain as it was once called before everyone got nationalistic and started squabbling.

 

It's a localised outbreak of forelock-tugging, but don't worry: it's not seriously harmful.
