The combination of Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne and Derek Fowlds was just magical for Yes (Prime)Minister. I don't think there's been a comedy before or since that has been so exemplary of perfect delivery.

Plus the superb writing. Blackadder was pretty good, but Yes Minister much cleverer, not least because so many of the incidents were true.

Apparently Prince Phillip has died. Can’t find anything on any news sites but my Sister has just told me that he has due to things that happened where she works today.

The extremes the royals will go to to get Meghxit out of the limelight.

In all seriousness, it would explain why LHR was shut earlier.

"A military flight from nearby RAF Northolt stopped scheduled passenger planes landing at Heathrow, Britain’s busiest airport, for about 20 minutes from 9am."

Can't see the link?

It's as if I have the press statement in my hand.

Seems to be a weekly rumor, presumably as he gets older at some point someone can shout "I broke the news!"

Are you inferring that they are repatriating Phil's remains to his homeland, via Heathrow?
