@snowy I'd argue many of that generation are more blunt/rude, alot without really meaning to be.
That wouldn't be an arguement, that would be an agreement.

@snowy Two months more and he would have turned 100 on June 10th.
Yeah but you get a mention from her for being married for long enough too, hence the comment.
60th anniversary it seems, so Phil had already had a well done from her.

I kind of hate the disrespect being shown Phil on social media (how he looked at the end included, far out he's sick and 99,cut him some slack) he's a WW2 vet who had a very tough childhood then married the most famous woman in the world. Yes he could be blunt, but he did some good environmental shit long before the woke folk were even thinking about it, and his DoE award helped lots of kids.
Interesting thing I learned: Charles holds onto the DoE title til he becomes king, then Edward and Sophie become Duke and Duchess. -

Lots of people don’t like the Royals and what they stand for, that certainly doesn’t help matters. Probably best you don’t check out the Memes thread.

@jc I absorbed a lot of coverage of this yesterday and this AM.
Nothing at all about the Californians until a small snippet that Harry is likely to attend on his own. UK press giving them “what they want” with zero coverage.
Nz herald though .... this morning lead was around the cold message they posted! Herald has properly drunk the kool aid.

That's probably what's pissing them off - he actually got shit done rather than wanking on about it on Twitter.

I think the most ridiculous fucking thing I saw on twitter was the people claiming Diana had arranged for him to die on Charles and Camilla's wedding anniversary as a last screw you and was now going to beat him up in heaven.
Elvis's secret lover v the Chief of the Moon Lizards.
Be one heck of a fight, I reckon

@no-quarter holy smokes your name is actually No Quarter!

@no-quarter said in RIP Phil the Greek:
The person who tweeted she hoped Phil died in a lot of pain is a Guardian writer, apparently.
That august, highly-principled journal will obviously be doing some deep, distressing soul-searching on whether to keep using her or not.
-
@victor-meldrew but she's a victim
(do we ignore that "Lewis" could be a woman)
-
He, she or victim - whoever it is - is as thick as 2 short planks to make a comment like that and have a link on their twitter account to their business website. She clearly needs help.
EDIT: Her real name is Karen. Fuck, the irony of that is simply outstanding.

@bones said in RIP Phil the Greek:
So Charles, Will and Harry are gonna hit it hard together the night before the funeral and all make up?
I reckon so. Whole thing is for show surely.
More and more like a soap opera
