Sledge Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 One point worthy of note is that Andrew was in the Navy during the Falklands, despite being given the option to stay at home. He was one of the helicopter pilots tasked to decoy incoming Exocet missiles aeay from the fleet. They did this by hovering low, to spoof the missile into believing they were a ship. At the last moment, they were to climb rapidly, in the hope that the missile wouldn't be able to match their rate of climb. Not something I'd want to do, and I have nothing but respect for those that did. Link to post Share on other sites
1000_mile_stick Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Well I'm proud of the monarchy, I like having the Queen as my head of state. Although I fairly admit the Royal Family has gone down-hill in the past few decades. Eventually we'll get a decent King/Queen again, like the awe-inspiring, patriotism rousing Royals of yore...

Rikkster Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Charles & Camilla, Do you give a f***? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Couldn't give a toss. However despite the fact that no-one save a couple of Home Counties octogenarian Royalists with extensive collections of plates actually cares, we're all going to end up paying for the bloody thing.

rizzo Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I wasn't doing it for one-upmanship, it's just the Royal Family and the miltary have traditionally been very close, and it's often not just ceremonial Of course, they are still brass, and so the average squaddie might still say they have it easy (and I have no doubt that they do), but that's another matter <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pah! Where did Princess Anne get all her medals then eh? eh? eh? eh? *Rizzo's secretary comes over and whispers in ear* Oh, she has no medals, that would explain where they came from.... I'll get my coat.... Link to post Share on other sites

Sledge Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Shouldn't worry, I didn't get it from school . I first found it in the Jack Higgins novel "Exocet" then saw it again a few years later. Wish I could remember where... Meh. Shouldn't be that hard for someone to confirm, if they're that bothered.

Asso Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, and Quasimodo were all talking one day. Sleeping Beauty said, "I believe myself to be the most beautiful girl in the world." Tom Thumb said, "I must be the smallest person in the world." Quasimodo said, "I absolutely have to be the ugliest person in the world." They decided to go to the Guinness Book of World Records to have their claims verified. Sleeping Beauty went first and came out looking deliriously happy. "It's official, I AM the most beautiful girl in the world," Tom Thumb went next and emerged triumphant, "I am officially the smallest person in the world." Sometime later, Quasimodo came out looking confused and simply stated, "Who is Camilla Parker Bowles?" Link to post Share on other sites

When you see prince phillip (i think) or some other person with a sh!t load of medals across their chest and i bet they did fu<k all. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Phillip saw action in the Med during WW2, biggest naval engagement in the med was when the British navy came up upon Moussolinis fleet in drydock and blew it outta the water, some hero Charlie did ######s all.

Are you seriously suggesting that Camilla Parker Bowles is the ugliest thing you've seen? As far as I can tell, she looks about average for her age. Her real crime is not being Diana. Yes, Camilla is an abomination because she isn't as attractive as someone twenty years younger . Well, we'd best kill her now! Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Camilla looks like a hooker Charles the *beep* picked up at the street. How could she cheat on Diana with her, who knows, I think Charles is Gay. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmm, interesting theory, but I think we can rule it out. Agreed Sledge. People can be so shallow these days. Link to post Share on other sites

joeking27 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 It was a JOKE, her crimes are not only being ugly as hell, but she's also a stupid ######. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We'll go clause by clause shall we? Joke: a joke is humourous, that wasn't. Perhaps you should think a little before you start posting. When was being ugly a crime, or stupidity? She's distinctly average lookings, and what a person looks like doesn't count for very much in the long run anyway. Beauty in the eye of the beholder 'n' all that. I could go on about stupidity, but the chances are you haven't read this far. So back on topic, should we be hoping that Charles will be happier this time? Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Yes, I very much hope Charles will be happy this time, and am glad he is finally marrying the woman he should've married 30-odd years ago. I think that it is very sad there was an insistence on him marrying some sort of perfect, virginal princess. If Charles had married Camilla in the beginning, I think everyone would have been a lot happier. Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus, you have bad taste for women! She's horrible! First of all I found the joke funny, I didn't invent it, I didn't threaten you to laugh when you finished reading the joke, and if you don't like it well too bad! I'm sorry for taking less than a minute from your pathetic existance! I didn't say it was a crime being ugly you moron, I'm just giving my opinion on how she looks.

Look you stupid geek, I don't care if you like ugly women for all I care you could marry a turd and I wouldn't give a ######, and looks count you dweeb, its what attract us men to them, I wouldn't be attracted to a big fat girl, but since you're probably a big fat geek with no life (apparently), your only hope is to get any girl to actually like your stupid self.

Tbh I don't think I'm the only one who feels that you're a complete twat, stop getting so ###### off about everything. Do you get bullied, and feel the need to take it out on random people that don't agree with you over the internet. Just the sort of thing I think is happeneing here. Seriously, get a life. Who cares if someone you don't even know and who has no effect on your life doesn't agree with some random ###### you posted on a forum on the internet, get over it and get over yourself.
