    Prince Phillip, one of a kind

    Can't start a new year without a dash of old Phil. Bob

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    He was out here many years back and made a comment about "peeing a pint and using a gallon to flush it". Immediately condemned by the local fat backsides who polish seats for a living as being "out of touch" and "unhygienic ramblings etc."....
    Now we've all got bogs with dual flush systems to save water.

    Charlie takes after him a bit and when swimming at St Kilda (I think) back in the 70s said that "It looked, smelled and tasted like sewerage".
    And it did and of course he was roundly condemned as being a Pommy snob etc by all the local fat arses.
    Now mains sewerage is every where and even Port Philip bay beaches are cleaner as a result.
    Good on those that still have the courage to say what they think even if it upsets some people in high places...especially if it upsets them.

    I'm firmly of the opinion that if you say things that upset the "establishment" and politically correct brigade then you are doing something right !

    He was 100% on the money with this one....

    Sometimes it's the place of a Prince to point out a new perspective on a particular issue. In 1965 when discussing a project to protect turtle doves in Anguilla, Philip had this brainwave that was too good to keep to himself:

    “Cats kill far more birds than men. Why don’t you have a slogan: ‘Kill a cat and save a bird?’'
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".
