Current Affairs Phil the Greek

Where I live the President is an openly communist sympathiser. In 1968 while his countrymen were being murdered by them he joined the Communist Party.

I would take a Royal Family over that, but preferably the small scale European style, like Denmark or Belgium.

But I would take a well trained Labrador over any of those options.

If you could train a Labrador to cut ribbon, pose for portraits and present medals I think we've got a great solution.

So in your other post you talk of a progressive society yet you’re happy someone died.
Hate is hate my friend, no matter what view you take, have a word with yourself if you want progress

He was a horrible, privileged man who lived to 99 who is part of a particularly poisonous institution. A progressive society is one without the likes of him and them in it.

 

[longers]

Didn't your mum teach you about keeping shut if you don't have anything nice to say.

This would be an awful forum if every post was nice, no arguements, no hating on tories, no hating kopites ?

Let a little bit of hate into you life buddy, you might like it.

You sound horrible yourself, just saying

There'd have been murder if they'd have cancelled footy matches for this.

Wise decision not to push their luck too far.

They didn’t outright cancel but they did move England Women’s scheduled live game in France from BBC4 to online as well as doing the same for the coverage of Hearts v Alloa that was due to air on BBC Scotland

I'm going to get work on it this weekend.

My neighbour has a Beagle, would that work?

I could do custom orders for different countries.

Thank you for you devotion to this.

On balance it's hard to know what the bigger danger is - the threat of offensive remarks and sex pestering from.human royals or the threat to toddlers whose parents will hold them up to our new cuddly royal death bringer.

We had a Royal visit at work as part of a charity year and the fundraising team are all gathered suited and booted for a reception in the boardroom.

The Queen and Phil were late arriving but eventually entered the room and started walking along the line up of reps stopping occasionaly for the small talk routine.

The employee line up was 2 deep with anyone in the back row having little chance of a chat. One guy from my department, you get them everywhere, pushed and pulled his way forward just as Phil walked past, leaving him little option but to stop and talk with him.

Blah, blah, blah and what do you do here ? Says Phil.

I manage all the building services says our man.

Would that include the lifts ? Phil enquired.

Oh yes indeed sir. Says Mr Pushy, now standing as erect as a Buckingham Palace guardsman waiting for a medal to be pinned to his chest.

Hmmmm, well you’re clearly not very good at it, we’ve just spent 10 minutes trapped in one of your lifts on the way up here. I’m wondering if it will be safer using the stairs when we leave.

Our pushy work mate was completely deflated and never lived it down. He was even presented with a framed photo of that conversation at his retirement bash.

I'm well aware of the risk, I was thinking of some kind of ceremonial muzzle.

For the dog, obviously. Although, it wouldn't hurt to muzzle the toddler to be on the safe side.

Whatever they've used for Prince Andrew in the aftermath of the allegations should work.

This is so weird. Dragging your kids at 1am to lay flowers and then shoving them on the news to talk about a man they clearly have barely any idea about.

I have a degree of sympathy for the BBC. They're battling for their very existence and this is clearly how they think they have to behave in order to carry on.

 

[Jimishorts]

Harry will turn up

Time to dust off the old outfit.

 

[Groucho]

I have met a few of the royals; always pleasant enough, friendly and good natured. Pleasant to everyone in attendance.

It was a joke mate

It was a joke mate

I know. Just thought I'd share my experience as well.

My conclusion: replaced by Labrador.
