To think Prince Phillip is great?

[joogle]

I love this guy, AIBU?

Has no one mentioned his remark about Eating dogs for the anorexic?

I think he's hilarious.

Me too.

I think he's great! He is very intelligent and has just got on with what life has thrown at him - I also love his devotion to the Queen.....makes me well up a little bit...
Also DofE awards and his charity work, he takes an interest in people and life in a no-nonsense way....long may it last!

When introduced to a female solicitor, Prince Philip said, "I thought it was against the law these days for a woman to solicit"

"If it doesn't fart or eat hay then she isn't interested" 
- speaking about his daughter, Princess Anne.

I think if i'd spent my life living in the shadow of the most famous person in the world, would maybe want to make my presence felt in a small way

He is sexist and a racist xenophobe, so YABU.

YANBU he is fab fab fab

He said himself the DofE awards are nothing to do with him. Someone else had the idea and used him to promote it. He is such a waste of space. I cannot believe so many people on here think his racism/sexism is 'hilarious'. I wonder if there are things Nick Griffin of the BNP says that you find funny as well.

Still haven't seen anyone actually introduce any evidence of his racism/sexism. It's easy to call someone a racist/sexist/bigot and far too many people on MN seem to attempt to win an argument by trotting this shit out as some sort of trump card with precious little to back it up.

If anyone is in a position to understand what a good job a woman can do it is he surely and he has always seemed to me to acknowledge that.

I'm a republican, but even I think he's the pick of the bunch.

Actually he is the only one I like.

My dotty granny is in her 90s, and she isnt racist, but I have heard her describe my cousins husband as Coloured, which I think can be offensive. She has also referred to her much loved great-grandchildren as half-castes. It doesnt bother us, but we do tell her she should not use the term half-castes in public.

I think they come from another era.

I always imagine the Queen giving him a clip round the ear behind the scenes for showing him up yet again

hahaha apocalypse i love that image!

i think hes hilarious! thes 'inapropriate' jokes are just his way of breaking the ice, i dont think hes ever said anything purposly to offend somebody.

i think hes fabulous and an inspiration!

I like him. He is refreshing.

I bet he's been on the receiving end of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=swiftjonathan.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/queen_angry1.jpg%3Fw%3D275%26h%3D275&imgrefurl=swiftjonathan.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/after-run-of-defeats-queen-commits-to-beating-ireland-at-hurling-by-2025/&usg=__stUw6ZtMKMx52_mj6E0WsAsRUSQ=&h=275&w=275&sz=14&hl=en&start=40&zoom=1&tbnid=1i2xtwjxtxnZcM:&tbnh=159&tbnw=155&ei=CjryTeZakoCzBteFkIgH&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dthe%2Bqueen%2Blooking%2Bangry%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D667%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=436&page=3&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:40&tx=63&ty=43&biw=1366&bih=667" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this face on many an occasion

I loved seeing him at the Royal Wedding - didn't he look absolutely thrilled - both with the marriage itself and the v attractive bridesmaid He is what he is and I think there's a lot we don't see.

I loved him edging ever closer to Pippa Middleton on the balcony. I'm sure he had his hand on her arse at one point.

And why is it that whenever a person in the public eye does something quite normal they get massieve credit for it? Of course he walked with his grandsons at their mother's funeral - it would ahve been shameful if he hadn't rather than praisworthy that he did.

...whereas if anyone else did something like that, it'd be sexual harrassment georgimama. I just don't hold with the 'cheeky old duffer, aren't I a card' routine. He reminds me of the office 'comedian' who thinks that it's OK to make stupid comments because he's 'only having a laugh' .

"I loved him edging ever closer to Pippa Middleton on the balcony. I'm sure he had his hand on her arse at one point."

Such swwetheart he is. Oh how we laughed!

"I just don't hold with the 'cheeky old duffer,"

I agree.

With all the aides, he must know what is & isn´t acceptable to say-and have more chance to be "in the know" "up to date" than most of his age.

"Oh how we laughed!"

Pippa did anyway Seeker.

It took a little longer than I had hoped for some tede to pick up on my post, MN is slipping.

Haven't had time to read other replies, but gald this thread was started and hope everyone has been nnice. Top bloke!

Well, she wasn't exactly going to ruin her sister's wedding by shouting "get off me you old perv", was she?
