btb Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I note with interest the attempt to rehabilitate Prince Andrew in the wake of his father's death - business as usual for "The Firm" and their hangers on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely appalling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that none of use the term to mean anything other than how I described it? I know a priest who uses the term FFS. One that did our wedding and I've been friends with for 25 years.

His comment sections are full of the most patter devoid people on the planet and there's a frightening amount of people that seem to have "liking Limmy" as being an integral part of their personalities. ETA his brother is funnier. He’s definitely not but I think @GordonS might be Limmy’s brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he posts much publically tbf but that was also a massive piece of insincere bait. I always think it's funny the differences between the two of them and think it probably goes a decent way in explaining some of Limmys political/social views. I think they're closer now than they were at one point which is nice to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these celebrities wield as much power as a member of the literal monarchy either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no great feelings one way or the other on him and was not involved in it but the effect the DOE Awards scheme has had on many people suggests to me he did try to make a difference. As far as I know, it was the climber/army officer John Hunt who devised and created the awards. Phil’s contribution was allowing the use of the title his wife gave him, handing out the awards, and then dining out on the fawning praise they raked in thereafter. The royals have a long history of attaching their titles to things other people actually work on, and then reaping the plaudits for them forever after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 DoE award was absolutely amazing whoever it was that came up with it. Kind of thing that is utter agony at the time, but a couple of years later you look back and realise you had a fucking fantastic time and you're proper proud of yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
