“Should Harry be allowed on the front line again?”
My nephews are both out fighting like warriors because of their love of this country, in spite of their TERRIBLE treatment by Gordon Browns and his mob.
What’s good enough for my family is good enough for Harry. He’s a warrior from a family of warriors who have fought and led in some of the fiercest and best wars history has to offer. The boy has some guts.
Here’s hoping army discipline will curb his wayward behaviour.

It’s hard to curb the wayward behaviour of such a warrior though. He’s got generations of it in his blood. You start curbing and next thing you know he’s shot you up with a laser-guided royal spacegun and vanished into the jungle (like a panther).
By the way, I’m pretty sure you meant to put WARRIORS in caps there Derek. You’re slacking off. DISCUSTING.
It is DISCUSTING that Gordon Browns and his weak government are using the child of Princess Diana to garner support for their phoney ‘war’ on Iraq.
Princess Diana would spin in her grave if she knew that her son was being used like this, after all she hated landmines and wars.
Perhaps Gordon Browns and his cronies should be sent to war to see how much they like it. Of course, that would never happen because they are GREEDY AND NOT PATRIOTIC.

I’m not sure Diana hated ALL landmines and wars. Just the namby-pamby, crap wars. She was well up for the fiercest and best wars.
My Grandfather fought in a crap war. I’m so fucking ashamed of him.
I’m not sure that the dead breakdance.
I’ve been browsing through some of the fiercest and best wars history has to offer and let me tell you they’re ace!
Edward, Charles and Andrew. Warriors all. Grrr!
Warriors, come out to play-ee-ay!
Every time I hear some twat talking about patriotism I want to hit him over the head with a flag pole.
Don’t you think it’s ironic that we’re fighting in a war against terror, when the real terror is our TERRORble government.
Censor this if you dare…
Just how many of these Gordon Browns are there?
Well there’s the fairly decent one who seemed to be improving the economy during the late 90s.
Then there’s the nasty one who was the Sworn Enemy of Tony Blair(s) and was bent on His Destruction at All Costs.
Then the was the one who learned to close his mouth after each sentence to stop himself looking like a hippo who just farted.
Then there was the New Improved Brown, with the new white teeth, who took over the reigns of govt and prompty fucked up big time.
Now there is the cowering yellow cur Brown, who shambles from one disaster to the next, papering over the cracks, and enraging Honest Decent British Drivers, and will no doubt be eaten by his own backbenchers before long.
Honestly, you couldn’t make it up.
If I had a father that stupid I think I’d join the army to get away from him, too.
what about tiswas, not strictly are war, but sounds like one, would diana have hated it incase there were custard pie land mines?
I think we have a new word
DISCUST.
verb - to debate or converse using subject matter or topics liable to cause revulsion or loathing. eg “lets discust Topsy Turvy’s views on immigration”
discustard pie?
What’s good enough for my family is good enough for Harry.
=========================
steady on derek. if you don’t consider the royal family to be in all ways greater than us, you don’t bloody love england enough.
on the topic of diana, this clip is wizard!

Everyone seems to be spinning in their graves about something these days. Is there any way we can harness this renewable energy?
If we make Harry actually plant landmines, Diana could probably power half the country!
It could be called Brown Energy - renewable source with a seemingly never ending supply of new core material. The victims of said landmines could simply be shovelled into the system, spinning away in futile rage
Not just landmines, if we wired up Clement Attlee and a labour government privatised the NHS we could be exporting energy to europe.
The only problem then is that if we had the money to fund the NHS it could come back and Clem would power down…..

At the risk of linking two threads, does anybody remember when Harry left Eton and there was a massive tabloid kerfuffle because the cleaning lady found a pair of ladies ker-nickers in his room.
The toffs were up in arms. After all they don’t spend all that money sending their sons to Eton to have them turn out heterosexual, do they? Apparently there was no cause for alarm. The kecks in question were a memento of his late mother. They were the ones she was wearing on that fateful night in Paris. If you look really closely, I heard, you can actually see the skid-marks.
yeah greg, apparently he tried to donate them to a charity shop, but Ian Cheese had been there first so the shop was weary of ’slightly soiled’ garments.
I have never really had much interest in history, but now i’m dying to know what the best ten wars of all time were.
Not sure how you would rank them. You could do it by number of people killed but that seems a bit too simplistic and sidelines some of the really spectacular ones that looked good on TV like the first Iraq war and the Falklands.
You could do it by TV viewing figures but then it rules out those classic wars like WWI or the Crimean or American war if independence.
Perhaps it needs several categories - Best religious wars, Best TV wars, Best pointless invasion, Best war with no obvious winner, Best war caused as a result of another war etc.
Official Top 10 Wars of all time, as made by a proper historian. Contains REAL History!
1. WWII - Hitler was actually so evil that pretty much everyone agrees the WWII was justified. Hence all other wars are justified as long as they look a bit like it. Plus it was fucking massive and we won.
2. WWI - basically WWII, but earlier, and since the First World War was caused by the Second World War (Hitler was in both) it’s the same only smaller and with not as good tanks.
3. The Falklands - Like Hitler before him, Galtieri was, as well as being foreign, the sort-of-a-fascist leader of one of our major footballing rivals. And we won.
4. The Gulf War - Pretty much like the Falklands, except Iraq doesn’t play football so good (golf!) and we won. Also because we won that Gulf war, we also win the one we’ve got at the moment automatically. Also Saddam is a Hitler and we won.
5 through 9. All the wars we’ve had against France - the Hundred Year’s War (against France), the war with Henry V in (also against France), the Battle of Agincourt (against France), the Napoleonic War (against France), the War of the Scarlet Pimpernel (against France), the Battle of Hastings (against France), and the European Union (against France), all of which we won.
10. Afghanistan - The Taliban = Hitler X Saddam Hussein so not only are they evil and therefore this war is awesome, we also won (see above). I think.
can we really count a war against France in the top Ten? I mean just about any country in the world could site one or more victories over the french so it doesn’t really qualify in my book, perhaps in top ten pre- arranged surrenders?
what about the Cod War, we really stuck to those icelandic fuckers and showed the frosty cunt’s who’s boss, protecting the livelyhood of fish n chip shops through out the land!
I forgot about movie wars, like the Clone Wars, War of the Worlds, War against the Machines in Terminator…
They looked great and killed lots of fictional people…
Diana spinning in here grave….that crash must have has some fucking momentum going!
Is Diana even still in her grave? Surely someone must have dug her up by now to make a commemorative mug or something.
Well I’ve heard Paul Burrell’s been seen trying to get into Althorp Park armed with a spade and a shopping list.
Did you think of William and Harry before saying that?
think of them! i’m wanking over them as i type this….
Best war, the Opium War.
China: err, Britain, we don’t want to get high on opium any more. We’ve got jobs and girlfriends now. We think it’s time you left and stopped selling round here. Ok?
Britain: Never!
And so, Britain fought a war to force China to stay addicted to heroin. What a war it was.
War really is great, actually. I’m in the scouts, and that’s a bit like war. We play wargames in the local woods and we had to get the red team’s flag and make a bivouac. I found a stick just like a tommy gun.
I hope there’s a real proper war soon, not these silly wars with people hiding and not waiting to be shot at, cowardy-custards. I want one where you both line up all your troops, one in red (that’s us) and the others in blue (that’s usually the French, I think) And you behave like gentleman and shake hands at the start and then everybody walks slowly towards each other and there’s horses, an’ smoke, an’ drums an’ swords. That’s the Ace-est kind of war. I hope we can have a war with France soon.
Unfortunately Jeremy we didn’t qualify for Euro2008 so you will have to wait until the world cup for that sort of fight action.
