I didn't bring that much cash

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

Well then, how about we take our failing dollars elswhere!
Harumph!

Ah, Prince Philip. The poster child for monarchy.

You've gotta love it when someone complains about people who account for his position's continued existence in the first place.

Sadly, I've only come inside England once, and for too brief a time. I dream about entering her again one day.

peon36: You of the "failin dollars" comment have got to read the news more often than once every six months. In fact, your comment almost warrants you being called a moran.

"all the cities in the world
and so very little time and
so many different girls...
all you have to do is find them
there's a wealth of opportunity you plan your trips accordingly
a pity but the pretty ones are usually more touristy"

(Dresden Dolls, "Boston". Capitalization as on lyrics page; I don't go for this all lower case nonsense myself.)

Great, now America's going to make me sleep on the couch. Thanks a lot, Phil.

I love this guy -he' a scream. Wasn't there a movie once where Rodney Dangerfield became a king or something?

Well, I'm not getting any HERE, and I was hoping that if I went to another country....

I thought you all loved that American accent.

Actually he has a point !
Im fed up of his so called gaffes being always seen as negative points!
It really depends on how you inteperate it,
Its a form of social realism all thoses ex comunist countries are doing it in one for or another....They market an offer and you buy into it or not personally I prefer the costal curves of Croatia to the rather distant austere barroque of Slovenia!


You said it, David Rees of Paris, France! I too dislike the distant austere barroque of Slovenia!

"No sex, please. We're British."

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: 'We would never discuss anything Prince Philip might have said.'

Poor guy, even his own staff and servants ignore him.

YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I AM!!


/ true in any country I visit

I happen to agree with him but don't have anything too witty to say. I just got out of bed.

It's almost time for me to go out and do something that I don't want to do in exchange for money. I worked until 10 on Sat night and go back in at 9 on Sun. Might as well call it prostitution.

dbubb: I love this guy -he' a scream

I agree, while the rest of them are trying to stay out of the way and not get into any trouble, this guys going out there and saying stupid things and offending people.

There's quite a list of these actually (new window).

Upon presenting a Duke of Edinburgh Award to a student, when informed that the young man was going to help out in Romania for six months, he asked if the student was going to help the Romanian orphans; upon being informed he was not, it was claimed the 85-year-old duke added: "Ah good, there's so many over there you feel they breed them just to put in orphanages."



This man is amazing.

The metaphor holds true, but the British are the main offenders when in other countries.

He's hilarious/.

"It follows other infamous faux pas by the Prince - including ... asking Aborigines in Australia: 'Do you still throw spears at each other?"

Well do they? I've always wondered that...

And just because it needs posting...

In that case I'm restricting my 'tourism' to Italy and Japan, with an occasional vist to Ireland for some firecrotch action.

While reading through these I got the impression that this man is either the most successful real-life troll, incredibly stupid or a master of verbal offense. Or all three of them together...

GET OFF MY LAWN!

or in this case... HIS COUNTRY!!!

Oh, good God, I love Prince Philip.
Wikipedia has a whole section on his gaffes/jokes. :)

Maybe if England would stop dressing like such a slut...

How soon they forget.

In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.

This guy is my hero!

Oh, and supposedly said in 2002: The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop tourism, we could stop the congestion.

What, was the Irony Tag on break? A Prince is saying this, who basically functions as a living spectacle for tourists. They called him a "National Treasure" in the article...

lostcat: In that case I'm restricting my 'tourism' to Italy and Japan, with an occasional vist to Ireland for some firecrotch action.

Good luck with all them "firecrotch" Irish guys.

Don't they have Prince Phillip in a can yet?

/If they can do it to Albert, they can bloody well do it to Phillip.

Edd17: There's quite a list of these actually (new window).

Cheers for that. What's his Fark username?

I'd solicit it

Well, it would have its upsides...



/Obscure?

Brazilians live there.

* Prince Philip on the "key problem" facing Brazil.


Bwahahahahahaha

Yep Prince Philip... you are the tourists' ho. They pay you and your pretentious family's upkeep and you need to get on your knees and respect that. With out them, you would be nothing. Keep this up and your may find another of the commonwealth not paying for your future visits.

/my an ancestor did in King Charlie I

Due to the poor dental care their "nationalized" system has, lots of young women have dentures.

You haven't had good oral till you've had one from a toothless girl.

And, as always, ENGLAND PREVAILS!

Remember, remember the fifth of November is right around the corner.

"I hear they have eating dogs for the blind anorexics"

Years ago I'd have been ashamed. These days, I just think, "Fark it."

Thank you, Fark.

Oh, I should probably add that's he's Greek.

Oldiron_79: Due to the poor dental care their "nationalized" system has, lots of young women have dentures.

Rubbish.

DON.MAC: my an ancestor did in King Charlie I

Do you mean he fought in the civil war, or that he actually swung the axe. Either way that's pretty interesting.

I shall be in London next weekend being a TOURIST... so I'm getting something of a kick out of Prince Philips latest verbal offering...

Seriously, I like the guy. His gaffes spark discussion and for someone who arrived from Greece poor, then he's not done too badly.
Shame Lizzie won't let him open a kebab shop in Buck House, then I'd be really impressed :-D

Prefer Ireland thank you very much.

It's always grand to hear from the father of the world's largest welfare family. Just carry the Queen's purse, Phil. From what've heard the UK is hurting for some good American tourist cash. Tke your dollars to Ireland. They love us and our money.

In related news, every woman in Sweden owes me sex. Multiple times.

/Wonders if he can sue for nondelivery of services

My Grandmas first husband is probably the only person that ever gave him a beating. He'd been jumping out of the hay-loft, 20 feet or so, even after being told that was forbidden.
He loved his summer vacations on Grannies farm so much, he would hide on departure day.
Of course, back then his name was "Phillip von Battenberg" and he expected to become king of greece.

Btw, his uncle Prinz Heinrich, the emperors brother, invented and patented the windshield wiper.

Cool eey?

God Save The Queen
Because tourists are money
And our figurehead is not what she seems

Wow, a British royal saying something stupid? When you consider that the royals liked to keep it all in the family, it's not exactly hard to believe. But that might not be fair to say. Perhaps the royal family of Great Britain has caught the dumb from Bush.

well, I know of some women in the uk I wouldn't mind soliciting

though for every catherine zeta jones, there's probably 2 that look like eddie izzard
