In light of Boris Johnson's appointment as foreign secretary and people tonight on Twitter getting some of his gaffes mixed up with Prince Philip's, let's have a quiz.

Do not use Google at any point; this is just a bit of fun.

This is also going on the c4countdown forums.

Please PM your answers and name to me by Wednesday 20 June 2016, 23:59 BST.

Who said or did the following, Boris Johnson or Prince Philip?

1 - (upon hearing Madonna was doing the theme for "Die Another Day") "Are we going to need earplugs?"
2 - (on the British embassy in Berlin) "It's a vast waste of space."
3 - "Cats kill far more birds than men. Why don't [we] have a slogan: "Kill a cat and save a bird?""
4 - "The only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump."
5 - "I'd like to go to Russia very much - although the bastards murdered half my family."
6 - "[The Queen] has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies."
7 - "I thought it was against the law for a woman to solicit."
8 - (on the Garden Bridge) "I don't quite know what the point of this thing is."
9 - "If we could just stop the tourism [in London], we could stop the congestion."
10 - "The French don’t know how to cook breakfast."

Is it 5 Boris and 5 Philip or not? If not, then I won't do very well! Also, don't you mean 20th July?

EDIT: Actually, that doesn't matter, as I have my answers any way.

I like the comment on the c4countdown forum saying that we did worse than random!

Could we have a breakdown of who scored what of the entrants from both forums please?
