Greek Princes are funny

I'm just happy they're calling...

In the words of Malcolm Tucker in In the Loop: "Don't EVER call me English again."

Mea Culpa.

I always liked Phil the Greek's response when someone asked him how his flight was. He said "Have you been on a plane?", the answer was affirmative so he said "Well, it was just like that".

You should sell the Royals to Disneyland to help pay off all that debt.

I think that's what Warney is trying to do aswell.

Tho he's better at putting nurses at their ease.

Is their a Duke of Ed award for that?

He didn't so much infer it as just blatantly come out and say it. That's why I like him, no beating around the bush or subtle innuendo, he just says it. It's the comedy equivalent of being slammed in the face repeatedly with a large number of bricks.

Yep... I like Philliposus ... he tells it like he sees it and to hell with the consequences.
A great example of someone who has total and absolute disdain for the PC brigade.

And long may that continue.

Come back Adolf - all is forgiven.

OTT Petey .... and you know it !
No one got killed eh !

No surprise you like racist toffs from a byone era Merls, no surprise at all old chap.

Tell me Lever ... just what is abjectly wrong about a person expressing himself as he sees fit AND without malice aforethought ? Or is no one allowed to say anything without being labelled a "racist" these days?

Petey refers to Hitler ... you raise the "racist" flag ... I mean WTF are people allowed to say these days without upsetting a small faction who see wrong in just about everything in the spoken word - unless it conforms with their own particular PC view!

Do me a favour ... point fingers at the judiciary who let off repeat offenders ... a Home Secretary who refuses to release the identity of the Bulger killer (who BTW is kept annoymous at a cost to the taxpayer of some £half a million annually ... a PM who takes the country to an illegal war based on lies - and then fails to provide adequate equipment for said troops, leaving them exposed to an easy death, then BSing his way through an enquiry making no apology ... councils who refuse to support the elderly of the borough yet willingly provide support for immigrants recently moved into their borough ...MP's who deem themselves above the law ... after fiddling their expenxes illegally!

The list is endless FFS ... the quirks of a malaise society over the past 15 years which erodes the principles of family life and each day raises the bar of political correctness whilst labelling people (who fought - and died - for the freedom of this country) as racists when they make innocuous private comments which are then regarded by Willy Nomarks as inappropriate and inflamatory !

And then the "Hitler" word is raised .... oh well !

Given that unlike you or me, Phillip actually FOUGHT the Nazis, you might want to re-visit that.

That's just plain silly, SS.

As you (hopefully) realise if you think about it, I was commenting - mainly tongue-in-cheek, but with a certain satirical point - on the implications of Merl's statement. Which was; "he tells it like he sees it and to hell with the consequences. A great example of someone who has total and absolute disdain for the PC brigade."

The serious point is: because "PC" is a common (convenient) term of disdain in some quarters, should any old smarmy-ignorant public comment cheerily talked out of the arse be relished as a breath of fresh air?

Perhaps you agree with Merls on that one?

Whereas, re: tongue-in-cheek, why are *you* quite so po-faced and airily dismissive?

I have no issue with anyone criticising anyone else. Couldn't care less. I do think it's a bit much to invoke the Nazis when the bloke in question actually properly fought in the war against them.

Nothing remotely PC about finding 'slitty eyes' offensive tbh...

Bizarre. Do you imagine I was calling Philip a Nazi? If so, doubly bizarre.
