Hi Foxy

Yeah, most fellow OLO punters wouldn't yet be aware a Phil Gone thread has been started.

Some also may be waiting for a "Phil Passing End of An Era" type 800 word article on Monday, written by some of the usual suspects, like Binoy von Kampo and the warm hearted Don A.

Meantime, it falls to us, we few, we higher Royalist lifeforms to mark the passing of our Prince Phil, with some sadness and a bit of humour.

MORE GENUINE PRINCE PHILIP QUOTES:

“I’m just a bloody amoeba” – on the Queen’s decision that their children should be called Windsor, not Mountbatten.

“Gentlemen, I think it is time we pulled our fingers out” – to the Industrial Co-Partnership Association on Britain’s inefficient industries in 1961.

“If the man had succeeded in abducting Anne, she would have given him a hell of a time while in captivity” – on a gunman who tried to kidnap Princess Anne in 1974.

“I hope he breaks his bloody neck” – when a photographer covering a royal visit to India fell out of a tree.

“If it doesn’t fart or eat hay, she’s not interested” – about his daughter Princess Anne.

More to come.

Regards

Pete

Due to the overwhelming outpouring of grief from the Australia public all Aussie TV channels will be playing a selection of Prince Phil's favourite music 24/7 for the next 30 days, sorry make that 60, BTW its a 60 lockdown, lockup, and compulsory viewing for all, thanks to Dan Andrews and the lads with their medical advice.

I've been overwhelmed by the Forum response to my request for Zhambyl records. Sorry lads you misunderstood I don't want them, I just wanted to know how many crazy music lovers are on the Forums. LOTS!

OH NO! the turn off YouTube button has broken on my puter! Someone help me.

There, there Paulo 4

It's uncanny that the "redhead" on the right is the spitting image of a Belarusian-American, from the US Department of Homeland Security, I had an internet "romance" with many moons ago. She had a crush on my fake "Young Errol Flynn" photo (I used my real name of course and finally admitted the Errol photo wasn't me). Are, those were the days my friend. I thought they'd never end :)

MORE PRINCE PHILIP QUOTES:

“What do you gargle with – pebbles?” – speaking to singer Tom Jones after the 1969 Royal Variety Performance.

“I declare this thing open, whatever it is” – on a visit to Canada in 1969.

“If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it” – at a 1986 World Wildlife Fund meeting.

“It looks like a tart’s bedroom” – on seeing plans for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s house at Sunninghill Park in 1988.

“Yak, yak, yak; come on, get a move on” – shouted from the deck of the Royal Yacht Britannia in Belize in 1994 to the Queen, who was chatting to her hosts on the quayside.

“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?” – to a driving instructor in Oban, Scotland, during a 1995 walkabout.

It appears that Prince Harry will be going to his
grandfather's funeral without his wife who's
pregnant with their second child and is not allowed to
fly. Perhaps this will give Prince Harry a chance
to re-bond with his father and brother?

Surely this is an opportunity for them to come together.

plantagenet,
I've never heard these quotes, sounds like Phil had a great sense of humour !

Individual,

He did have a great sense of humour, as some press found out when they were lurking in the shrubbery at a flower show in the hope of getting some informal photos, Philip spotted them and pressed the button that started the sprinklers.

I met him socially a few times and he seemed a nice bloke.
