Oh her husband's called the Duke o' Edinburgh
He's wan o' the kilted Greeks

I'd go for Lincoln Logs instead....The Legos can pinch bumbling hands and can also be swallowed by those prone to putting things in their mouths such as their foot.............

I'd like to thank all you Mudcatters for such a pleasant birthday wishes. It's so pleasing to know that despite me being one of the richest men in the UK, and many of you being amongst the poorest that we still have so much in common. Though I have never even pretended to do a day's work in my life, and most of you toil through the day making money for someone else so that you can purchase the necessaries of life which you helped to create, there is still so much that unites against the frogs, jerrys, wogs etc, that cast a shadow over my fine country (and a lot of it really is MY country).

Thank you so much again you Plebian scum

Dear Phil,

That's why we colonials bid you adieu.

But try to have a happy birthday anyway. Perhaps you could sit outside with Lizzie, play with your Legos, and watch the Sun set upon what's left.

I've met him, a very weird, interesting experience. He is a very small, very compact person, contrary to how he looks on TV. People may mock, but he has been a stalwart supporter of the environment for many years -- WWF and other organizations owe him an immense debt of gratitude.
yours, Peter T.

The WWF is a land-grabbing organization. Damn right he supports it because he thinks of the planet as his, and the WWF runs land-owners off their property. The Windsor-Saxe-Coburg family (along with the Bin Laden and Bush's Carlyle group) just bought the Porton Downs bio experimentation facility. That's where the hoof and mouth came from in the British Isles. The govt issued an order to collect wood for the burning of animal carcasses months before the outbreak, and the only place the weaponized hoof and mouth could have come from was Porton Downs. Then it appeared simultaneously in various places and Britain had to burn its livestock and hasn't been allowed to re-stock properly, thus forcing the closure of those farms that were squatting on the royal family's land. Ethnic clensing at the hands of the Winsor-Saxe-Coburgs. Spike their heads and save us all a lot of trouble.

Royals are just another kind of lottery winner - except that unlike most lottery winners they are expected to make themself available to do stuff like making state visits anbd so forth.

The people who really get up my nose are the fat cats in money-making enterprises of one sort or another with sticky fingers, who are under the impression that they have actually earned their good fortune, and deserve to have ginormous fortunes.

Isn't Legoland at Windsor?
Set of cheapscates! They probably made him walk from the castle!
Why didn't they send him to Alton Towers - at least he could have had a day out and a bus trip out of that one!

The royal family doesn't protect wildlife...they steal land in the name of protecting wildlife. It's a scam. And thousands of farmers in the UK were driven off their land after the hoof and mouth thing because restocking would 'contaminate' the land with 'run off'. The Windsors are doing a bit of ethnic cleansing in their own back yard...starving farmers off the land. What scum. Utter scum. The Windsor's phony love for wildlife has nothing to do with compassion or higher goals and everything to do with real-estate ownership. Spike 'em.

Most of this thread has made my day! Thank you all for the laughs, especially "guest Prince Philip". Everytime I visit a National Trust property I yearn for the day when Buck Palace,Kensington Palace,
and all the other palaces and the thousands of acres they've stolen from us belong to the people once more! I am a citizen, not a subject.

As John Dengate wrote, to the tune of "Poverty Knock":

Phillip faux pas every week,
You couldn't describe him as meek;
He's Edinburgh's Duke but that must be a fluke,
'Cause as far as I know, he's a Greek.

Chorus:
"Royalty, royalty shock!"
The papers are saying each day,
"Royalty, royalty shock!"
"Give them a cut in their pay!"
"Royalty, royalty shock!"
The boat is beginning to rock,
Republican ceilidhs erupt when the dailies go
"Royalty, royalty shock!"

you Brits are lucky..you have this ongoing comedy....year after year after year. The royals provide employment for ever so many tabloid reporters, and entertain the rest of the world. (and they have such pretty carriages and jewels, and it can't be TOO long before another coronation...wonder if Elizabeth intends to outlive Philip?)

All WE get in the US are petty scandals with Democrats and military fiascos with Republicans...but we get to CHOOSE which one every 4 years.....well, so far

We're about to have our form of royalty in the US, too. So I guess I shouldn't have been so hard on Kaiser Phillip.

The US junta is now pushing for a constitutional convention...a ConCon. One of the things up for 'discussion' will be that pesky rule that US presidents need to be natural born. Bad enough we had a Joint Chiefs Chairman that was a freakin Ruskie!!!, now they want to change our CONSTITUTION so Arnold Schwarzenegger can run for President.

I kid you not. He's said he'll wait to see how well 'Terminator 3' does this summer, then he'll decide if he'll run for Governor of California. He'll win (even if it's a phony 'Bush win'), and then if the Bushes can destroy our Constitution, we'll have the Bushes and the Clintons and the Schwarzeneggers and the Kennedys (don't forget Arnold S. is married to Maria Shriver/Kennedy)...so that'll be our 'royalty'. Suspend the 22nd Amendment which limits the number of terms a President can serve, and it'll be just one big happy family this side of 'the pond'. GW, then Queen Bitch Hillary, then The Terminator, then Huckleberry Clinton, then Jeb...endless sequels.

So that extension of Nazism that Betty married might not be so bad in comparison.
