Did I Say That?

[Chris]

The words of Price Phillip, the Queen's Consort...

On age
We shall all be old one day - provided, of course, we can avoid being slaughtered on the roads or beaten up by some hooligan in a peace demonstration (1970)

To a blind woman with a guide dog
Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now? (2002)

To his wife after her coronation
Where did you get that hat? (1953)

On turning 80
I'm not sure I recommend it. It's not so much the age, but trying to survive the celebrations (2001)

Arriving to open a youth centre in Brighton
Who are you burying today? (2007)

Meeting Nigeria's president, who was in robes
You look like you are ready for bed (1956)

To Russell Brand, about the woman next to him in a royal variety show line-up
She's got all the right stuff in all the right places (2007)

On Number 10's idea for Diana's funeral
F*** off - we are talking about two boys who have lost their mother (1997)

Told by Elton John of his gold Aston Martin
Oh, it's you that owns that ghastly car - we often see it when driving to Windsor Castle (2001)

To president Kenyatta during Kenya's independence, as the Union Jack was lowered
Are you sure you want to go ahead with this, old chap? (1963)

On death
In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation (1988)

To the General Dental Council
Dentopedalogy is the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it. I have been practising it for years (1960)

To Cherie Blair, on hearing that London had won the 2012 Olympic bid
I'm so old I won't be here (2005)

Told by president Obama of meetings already that day with the Chinese, Russians, Brown and Cameron
Can you tell the difference between them? (2009)

To a fashion writer at a world wildlife fund gathering
You're not wearing mink knickers, are you? (1993)

Sounds like he'd be fun to have a drink with.

Well, when you think about it, he's the guy who's had to suck hind tit his entire married life, always having to play second fiddle to Queen Liz. (Yeah, I mixed a couple of metaphors - so shoot me.)

If even one-tenth of those statements are true (maybe, maybe not), it's pretty clear he failed Charm School.
