Prince whatever his name is - Totally NB

I have been to a few fancy dress does and cannot remember one where someone WASNT dressed as a Nazi.

I remember finding it amazingly amusing when one guy dressed up as peter Sutcliff .The Management were concerned about him carrying a hammer!

For crying out loud he is a young man enjoying himself.Plenty of time to become a boring old fart like most of us lot.
 
Coming Soon to a Cinema near you!

Didn't take long for the jokes to start!

Now looking at that I cant help thinking that our Harry does seem to bear an uncanny resemblance to a certain Mr Hewitt??!!
 
Re: Coming Soon to a Cinema near you!

Yes, maybe that was a bit strong - I just couldn't resist the temptation once reminded of his coochy, cherub features.
 
Re: Kids screw up

its what they're for. So grown up's can throw their hands up and talk of despair. I notice a trend for the growing up to take longer, particularly among lads. The average age for them leaving home is now 28 and they seem incapable, no matter how well educated or brung up, of doing much more than playing PS2, drinking, shouting and getting into trouble. Oh! and caring. They do a lot of caring about the disadvantaged and the poor and the suffering and the planet. So they're feckless yobbo's with a heart of gold.

Prince Harry isn't an idiot or a genius, he's not selfish or altruistic, he's not right or wrong, he's not important or unimportant. He is just like the rest of us. A survivor of the accident of birth, crawling from the wreckage of pubity and looking to find his way in the world. He seems to be surrounded by friends who like to sell stories to the papers.

I went to a fancy dress party last year that had three Hitlers and a Harold Shipmen. These were not insignificant people in the world of business. Not young nitwits. Of course nobody wanted the photo's and being in civilized'ish company no one tried to sell them.

Dunno if you think this is meant to be reassuring, but I'm getting more perturbed by the minute.

OK, so I'm a relic of the Seventies, and spent some of my youth going on CND and Anti-Nazi league marches (this is obviously the noughties equivalent of being a reactionary old fart in the Seventies) but I cannot see the hilarious irony inherent in dressing up as a mass murderer. The fact that so-called pillars of society think it's OK gives me the creeps.

Though I am fond of tastelessness and black comedy on the whole, I've come to the conclusion that I have had a major sense of humour failure on this subject, so I think I'll shut up now.

The difference is that while they are there they can do a lot of damage whereas the Monarchy can't.

If our President in your marvellous republic has to be picked from the same bunch our parliament is picked from God help us. I'd rather have things as they are.
 
He's 20 and he's done something which he now realises was a mistake. So what?

It reminds me of the time that his father had a cherry brandy. That really was outrageous behaviour!
 
Quick quote from Channel 4 News newsletter - couldn't have said it better myself

Prince Harry donned a nazi uniform for a fancy dress party and got snapped wearing it. Someone at the party did what all self-respecting upper class party goers do and slipped it to the aristocracy's paper of choice, The Sun. Two nasty road accidents could find him on the very throne that eluded his Great Great Uncle, the Duke of Windsor, a man who actually shook Hitler's hand and had a soft spot for the old fascist and his ideas. Hard to take it too seriously, hard to dismiss it, hard not to cry for the pain of old warriors and holocaust survivors and laugh for Mel Brooks and the rest who rendered the Nazis such figures of fun. Now Harry's rendered himself a similarly absurd figure.
 
I'd accept a Presidential system to sit where the Monarch now sits and be voted on by all of us, with the proviso that they could not have been an MP or sat on a quango, (oh and must be over 50).
 
Obviously he gets his tact and diplomacy from His Grandfather on his fathers side. He's been getting away with it for years why shoudn't Harry.
E.G
During a state visit to China in 1986, he famously told a group of British students: "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed".

Still throwing spears? (Question put to an Australian Aborigine during a visit in March 2002)

"It looks as if it was put in by an Indian." (in 1999, referring to an old-fashioned fuse box in a factory near Edinburgh)

"Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf." (in 1999, to young deaf people in Cardiff, referring to a school's steel band)

"You are a woman, aren't you?" (in 1984, in Kenya, to a native woman who had presented him with a small gift)

If it has got 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

"Aren't most of you descended from pirates?" (in 1994, to an islander in the Cayman Islands)
