Did the Duke of Edinburgh make any gaffes while speaking to you?

His last was to ask a Tamil priest if he had any links with the Tamil Tigers, during a visit to a Hindu temple with the Queen on her Golden Jubilee tour.

He's a funny guy
other gaffes

His only gaffe was the Suit - it even made me look well dressed.

He was only there for 10 minutes and I was so wrapped up in making sure that he was introduced to the great & good (those who paid for the project) that I didn't hear all that he said. He did do a walkabout to the spectators and asked 'and what do you usually do when you're not here?'

So, if Phil the Greek could be persuaded to get behind the wheel of an S2000, do you think that would make him the Dook in a Stook?

I'll get my coat, shall I........?

(P.S. I wouldn't ordinarily be caught dead describing our beloved vehicle as a S***k but on this occasion I couldn't resist it.)

VMC

Saw them in the flesh on Weds - was up in town on a corporate jolly and they were v v impressive. A little bit flooded when we saw them though - but the yanks loved then, and so did we (all of us property developer scum !). Then went punting in the rain (went up to Grantchester) before having a curry in Mill Lane.

Looking forward to seeing the city in the dry next time !!

I'm very impressed !
