He looks like James Bond (from the 60s)

[Sister Morphine]

I like Dita von Teese. She's very classy. A lot of people would take the routine that she does and make it completely lewd and crass, but she injects a lot of that old-school glamour and sex-appeal into it. And I love how she dresses. She's said she doesn't even own a pair of jeans. It takes a lot to dress like it's 1947 every day!

The POW is just getting better and better. He's human, he makes the odd mistake, but his heart is in his country and with his people. What more could you ask for in a Crown Prince?

[Conny]

He is the best. I have ever think it.

Dare I say it, he looks good in the first picture! . Most of us would not wish to see him make a cameo appearance in Dr Who, the heir to the throne is worth so much more than that, but to this producer and the Mail, it makes him a miserable swine! By that token, let's have HM and Princess Anne do Strictly Come Dancing, no, they must be miserable swine as well!

[Jo of Palatine]

I was shocked by the language used as well. I don't require referential behaviour from the media but to use such a quote is absolutely inappropriate, both by the one quoted and by the publication who printed it.

[BeatrixFan]

Let's face it, Russell Davis obviously knew that Clarence House had answered the request on behalf of HRH so to call him a miserable swine is just pathetic.

Sam, is "miserable swine" really such an enormous insult as it would be here when translated into German?

It is not the absolute and enormous insult it is in Germany, It is still not nice in the UK, but it can seen by some as a jokey insult.

Thank you Sam and Skydragon, I see.
Hm... what could be seen as an jokey insult when spoken out in a situation always sounds far worse when written about in a paper. One should not comment that way on dealing with the media. And it's hardly a novice to the media who said it. So shame on him as well.

I think that as soon as such a bombastic, humerous, send-up as this is put into print and becomes both "out of context" and an outright insult.

[BeatrixFan]

Well, when the word 'swine' was originally coined as a term of insult it meant the same as it does in German (pig) but down the years swine has become an insult in itself rather than being another word for pig. I haven't explained that terribly well, do you get what I mean?

[milla Ca]

Thank you Skydragon for all the daily news!
