Prins Philip har precis fyllt 90 ar. Philip ar akta make till den nuvarande drottningen och hertig av Edinburgh (aven varit prins av Danmark och Grekland). Den lokala blaskan satte ihop en hel radda av roliga uttalanden en man i hans stallning antagligen inte borde gjort. Jag tycker dock dom ar suverana och alskar gubben. Har ar ett urval:
"Get me a beer. I don't care what kind it is, just get me a beer!"
On being offered the finest Italian wines by PM Giuliano Amato at a dinner in Rome in 2000.
"Where's the Southern Comfort?"
On being presented with a hamper of southern goods by the American ambassador in London in 1999.
"So who's on drugs here?... HE looks as if he's on drugs."
To a 14-year-old member of a Bangladeshi youth club in 2002.
Philip: "Who are you?"
Simon Kelner: "I'm the editor-in-chief of The Independent, Sir."
Philip: "What are you doing here?"
Kelner: "You invited me."
Philip: "Well, you didn't have to come!"
An exchange at a press reception to mark the Golden Jubilee in 2002.
"You could do with losing a little bit of weight."
To hopeful astronaut, 13-year-old Andrew Adams.
"Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?"
To a wheelchair-bound Susan Edwards, and her guide dog Natalie in 2002.
"Deaf? If you're near there, no wonder you are deaf."
Said to a group of deaf children standing near a Caribbean steel drum band in 2000.
"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?"
Asked of a Scottish driving instructor in 1995.
"I suppose I would get in a lot of trouble if I were to melt them down."
On being shown Nottingham Forest FC's trophy collection in 1999.
"You managed not to get eaten then?"
To a British student who had trekked in Papua New Guinea, during an official visit in 1998.
"A few years ago, everybody was saying we must have more leisure, everyone's working too much. Now that everybody's got more leisure time they are complaining they are unemployed. People don't seem to make up their minds what they want."
Prince Philip shares insight into the recession that gripped Britain in 1981.
"It's a vast waste of space."
Philip entertained guests in 2000 at the reception of a new 18m British Embassy in Berlin, which the Queen had just opened.
"If it has four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it."
Said to a World Wildlife Fund meeting in 1986.
"You ARE a woman, aren't you?"
To a woman in Kenya in 1984, after accepting a gift.
"I would like to go to Russia very much - although the bastards murdered half my family."
In 1967, asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union.
"Aren't most of you descended from pirates?"
In the Cayman Islands, 1994.
"And what exotic part of the world do you come from?"
Asked in 1999 of Tory politician Lord Taylor of Warwick, whose parents are Jamaican. He replied: "Birmingham."
"Oh no, I might catch some ghastly disease."
On a visit to Australia in 1992, when asked if he wanted to stroke a koala bear.
