Why is Jugg-lugged Prince Philip a "beardist"?

"The designer whose beard earned the scorn of the Duke of Edinburgh has come forward – and admitted that Philip may well have been right.

The Mail on Sunday reported last week how the gaffe-prone Duke told the man, an unidentified guest at a Buckingham Palace garden party, that he was distinctly unimpressed by the tuft of hair on his chin, described by onlookers as a goatee.

His disparaging remarks prompted an outcry from beard groups that Philip was ‘beardist’."

Caught me out Beccy. Na my grandad had dumbo luggs, so I would be a bit mean to do that.

I don't know where the extra "G" in jug came from...

Pheemz. What about the beard thing? Just ignore the nazi comments.
Now I'm feeling "butt hurt" about the "butt hurt" thing. :p

Don't be silly Violet, and don't use stupid links to support silliness.

Edward VIII abdicated in 1936, not 1938 and did so to marry a divorcee, nothing whatsoever to do with the Nazis. If it can't get simple facts like that straight then it can have absolutely no merit.

Prince Philip served in the Royal Navy during the war, accusing him of links to Nazism is obscene. He risked his life fighting for a country not his own against Nazism.

EDIT:
Prince Philip has done a brilliant job of supporting the Queen through decades of service to the nation. Unfortunately, like everyone else, he occasionally puts his foot in it. Sadly, unlike everyone else, whenever he does it there's always a journalist on hand to use it to stir up trouble.

He's conducted many thousands of engagements both with the Queen and on his own and has put his foot in it a dozen or so times. I'm afraid I have too much respect for the man to care what a bunch of butt hurt beadies think of him.

Bedroom Decorating - Using Decorative Bed Pillows For A Professional Look

One of the main focal points in any bedroom design is the bed and decorative bed pillows help add to the design. You've probably even seen design shows on TV or pictures in magazines with those inviting looking beds that have the plumped up pillows, haven't you?

You might have even looked at your own bed and thought how great it would look with some decorative pillows - maybe you even tried this yourself but couldn't quite achieve the look that you see in the designer rooms. Luckily, it isn't that hard to get this look -you've probably just been going about the wrong way.

The first thing is you need to buy the right kinds of pillows. Chances are the regular bed pillows that you sleep on every night aren't going to do the trick. You want decorative pillows that have interesting fabrics and designs. Now that's not to say that a plain cotton pillow case with a nice stripe down by the end or a a layer of lace on the edge won't look fabulous because they will with the right design. The key is to pick pillows with fabrics and patterns that go with your overall look.

You don't want to have too many different patterns in the pillows, maybe some with a pattern and some that are plain but have a color that pick up the pattern. You can use interesting fabrics like silks, brocades and velvets as well as interesting accents on the pillows such as tufting, fringe and embellishments. What you choose really depends on your bedroom design.

The key to the plumping is that you have to set up the pillows in layers. You can't lay them down flat like you do when you're sleeping or you'll just end up with a big pile of pillows! You have to arrange them standing up on their edges and in rows.

The back layer of pillows should be a bit larger than the rest. You want to have either three or five pillows for this back row depending on how large the bed is and the size of the pillows. Stand them up on the edges and lean them against the headboard.

The second layer of pillows should be a little smaller than the back layer because you want to be able to still see the decorative back pillows. You'll also want less of them as you want the pillow arrangement to extend out from the headboard in sort of a triangular shape. So if you used three pillows in the back row try two in the row in front of it. Set those on their edges and lean them against the back row pillows.

Now you could make more layers, but three layers is pretty standard you don't want to many pillows or your whole bed is just going to be layers of pillows. For the last layer I like to use a bolster pillow - one of those long rounded tubular pillows that has a fancy fringe or tassel on the end. If you don't want to do this just use some smaller pillows for the front. These probably wouldn't be bed pillows but little decorative pillows that are smaller than your second row pillows and simply place those leaning against the second row pillows on their edges.

Viola! Now you have perfectly plumped decorative bed pillows that will give your bedroom design a professional look.
