The man is a legend IMHO - offered me hospitality having never even met me - top bloke :)

 

Hmm, a rich man living abroad with a jet set lifestyle offering free hospitality. I wonder if you'll be asked to bring a parcel of "biscuits" back with you to give to a mate when you arive back in England???

That's exactly why he's abit of a weird one, let alone updating everyone on his daily lifestyle, when he proberly lives on his own in a flat in Hull.

I detect a tinge of jealousy on this thread from numerous parties - if SWF was a chat show Dubai Phil would be the star of it with his reams of anecdotes and golf tips.

 

 

The question is - who would be the internet version of Jonathan Ross, hosting procedings?

However it's a Southampton forum, not a forum for posting stats on the amount of prawn sandwiches consumed or the amount of airtime in a week..

Will there ever be a thread on here that he doesn't comment on because he doesn't have an amazing story to tell about the subject matter because he can't squeeze world travel, golf or something else too lengthy and boring into it?

 

Funny this thread should come up! I was playing golf with David Beckham in the Bahamas the other day. We were both a bit plastered on a cheeky little Cabernet '01 and David mentioned Phil!

 

Anyway, to cut a long story short, David said if this guy on the forum has such a problem with Phil that he should start a whole thread about him, why doesn't he just use ignore?

 

Then David introduced me to Anjelina Jolie, and we both went fishing.

it takes all types. Phil is a decent and generous person. He kindly got me a signed picture of Lee W******d to give to a friend as a gift.

His constant talk of his lifestyle is not just bragging but many people like to hear/read about it. He also had some very good contacts when we were close to admin/takeover.

This forum is becoming pretty dull again, many posters have left and so lets not lose another.

to be honest I think many posters were more interested in our "deboires" and continual take-over speculation than in actually football related stuff.

I've always imagined him as a Jason King sort of character, perhaps mixed with a bit of Leslie Phillips - a sort of moustached, cigarette holder brandishing, lovable throwback to the empire - our own desert playboy...

 

As a brother in arms from the thread that tells skates what we think about their activities his very existence is a thing of legend.

There will be folk songs about him in years to come, if someone can get Gdansk or Tiger to rhyme with anything.

Good post Rallyboy - Phil is a bit like that. I know him from old and he is a top bloke. He used to live in Coombe Bissett near Salisbury and I went to my first Saints game with him back in 1977 - away at Forest in the Cup. He moved to Dubai a few years ago now but I see him now and again. He was at Bucharest for our UEFA Cup match. His brother is still a Saints season ticket holder and sings in a band called the Zucchinis - worth a watch if you ever get a chance to see them around Salisbury. Phil tells it how it is - no bragging , just facts. Some on here would do well to follow his example.

I can think of one poster that beats him and everyone else hands down in the done everything and knows it all stakes.

 

Does this mystery poster claim that the lee barnard song isnt "he's short, he's f*cking hard...." because, on an average of saints players, lee barnard isnt actually very short? And then backs his statement up with statistics proving this?

Edit: Make that - I can think of a whole list of posters and annoying teenagers that have done everything and know it all.

You imagine our Phil getting caught cottaging in the gent's toilets? He's never mentioned that on this forum! ;)

 

Dubai & cottaging yep found a video link, 500 Dirham fine for speeding.

What is the extent of your bracelet collection? Do you possess more than Super Mikey?

 

I had a bracelet about 4 years ago. One of them coloured bead things.

 

 

You know what comes next..........

 

 

 

Yep bought it from a Street Vendor outside the Dolphinarium near Ochio Rios while in Jamaica attending a Management Planning Meeting.

 

 

The string broke about 7 months later & all the beads scattered across the floor in a hotel in Lahore while on a Business Trip. I was upset, it was cool.

 

 

Your fault, you did ask.
