He's a legend with his numerous faux pas and general not give a shittery. I've met him a couple of times and he's ace. 2_Deck_Dash can confirm what he's like, as he sees him at BBQ's etc. Anyway, here's his latest;

Prince Philip about Hannah Jackson, blonde in red dress: 'I'd be arrested if I unzipped that' | Mail Online


Some other classics he's come out with are;

'Do you still throw spears at each other?' To Aboriginal leader William Brin during a visit to the Aboriginal Cultural Park in Queensland, 2002.

'I would like to go to Russia very much — although the bastards murdered half my family.' In 1967, when asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union.

'It looks as though it was put in by an Indian.' The Prince's verdict on a fuse box given during a tour of a Scottish factory in August 1999. He later apologised: 'I meant to say cowboys. I just got my cowboys and Indians mixed up.'

'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.' To a meeting of the World Wildlife Fund in 1986.

Anyone care to add some more of Phil's or their own classic one liners? ]]> Blackrat http://www.navy-net.co.uk/diamond-lils/65711-phil-greek.html <![CDATA[Eipley & Heanor News: "Submarine Bell Back To Generous Alfreton"]]> http://www.navy-net.co.uk/submariners/65710-eipley-heanor-news-submarine-bell-back-generous-alfreton.html Thu, 17 May 2012 10:02:32 GMT Submarine bell back to...]]> Submarine bell back to generous Alfreton - News - Ripley and Heanor News ]]> Submariners soleil http://www.navy-net.co.uk/submariners/65710-eipley-heanor-news-submarine-bell-back-generous-alfreton.html <![CDATA[Navy News: "Ex-Marines Help Produce A Cake Fit For The Queen"]]> http://www.navy-net.co.uk/corps/65709-navy-news-ex-marines-help-produce-cake-fit-queen.html Thu, 17 May 2012 09:20:06 GMT http://www.navynews.co.uk/archive/news/item/4801]]> http://www.navynews.co.uk/archive/news/item/4801 ]]> The Corps soleil http://www.navy-net.co.uk/corps/65709-navy-news-ex-marines-help-produce-cake-fit-queen.html <![CDATA[Scotsman: "Rule Britannia: Life On Board The Royal Yacht"]]> http://www.navy-net.co.uk/quarterdeck/65708-scotsman-rule-britannia-life-board-royal-yacht.html Thu, 17 May 2012 08:50:44 GMT Rule Britannia: Life on...]]> Rule Britannia: Life on board the royal yacht - Features - Scotsman.com ]]> The Quarterdeck soleil http://www.navy-net.co.uk/quarterdeck/65708-scotsman-rule-britannia-life-board-royal-yacht.html <![CDATA[BBC: "CPO Brian Diamond From HMS Diamond Given Diamond Medal"]]> http://www.navy-net.co.uk/fleet/65707-bbc-cpo-brian-diamond-hms-diamond-given-diamond-medal.html Thu, 17 May 2012 08:42:31 GMT BBC News - CPO Brian Diamond from HMS Diamond given diamond...]]> BBC News - CPO Brian Diamond from HMS Diamond given diamond medal ]]> The Fleet soleil http://www.navy-net.co.uk/fleet/65707-bbc-cpo-brian-diamond-hms-diamond-given-diamond-medal.html <![CDATA[You don't have to look like Jet Li to be a Ninja-a-a-aaaa]]> http://www.navy-net.co.uk/diamond-lils/65706-you-dont-have-look-like-jet-li-ninja-aaaa.html Thu, 17 May 2012 07:49:11 GMT Get yer trackies on, womble off to the play-park with your baby brother

Sorry if this is in the wrong place and for the barage of questions i am about to ask.

I have my medical on the 31st of this month (i have applied for the submarines if thats relevant) and i have had a search but cant seem to find exactly what im looking for. Any help is much appreciated.

1. how long does the medical last
2. Does the doctor have your full medical history or is it just the questionnaire i have already filled out.
3. Lastly do i find out if i've passed or failed on the day or will it be a few days/weeks.

Thanks for any help and sorry if these questions seem 'nooby' or if you get them all the time.
