About Me

On the scale of ONE to AWESOME, I'm the SHIT!
"Deciding to be marginal means deciding to be different. And that's just as stupid as systematically following the crowd. Sometimes I agree with the crowd. Sometimes I don't. I'm my own person."-Jacques Villeneuve, ex-F1 driver.
BE YOURSELF, NOT A CLICHE!
Hey, I'm Phil. I'm an ill mo' fo' whose one sick mutha. I'z so bad I got da shitz! proper!...apparently that all means i'm great (dont ask me, no idea). aaannyway...read about me below if you can be arsed.
-----------------------------------------------------------
It's all about the loves and hates:
GOOD THINGS
Firstly me mates, i guess they are all sorta good things!! :-P. most of em i've known for a very long time. many over 10 years! we all getting old together... sadly. Anyway they all rule, even tho we are pretty much a weird little group with many a quirk.
Love me girlfriend, the beautiful and sweet Jess. we used to work together at Sainsburys but we never spoke to each other the whole time!! (Thank nerds for the net!!) She's ace and somehow loves me even when I find myself irritating! :-D. Her smile and laugh make me go all sthilly xx*mwah*xx (sick bags and insulin shots are available for those who require them)
Music rules! Especially the stuff down the left. Emery, MCS, Say Anything (genius), Old Weezer (post 2k..meh) and Ben Folds is a legend.
I play guitar in me band called 'THE STANDOFF' please go check us out. It's the spizzle!
I also contribute to 'RANDOM' as heard on the Bjork Charity 'Army of Me' Album. Yes thats right, I've been on an internationally released album! get with that shit.
Love Cov City (Iain Dowie's Sky Blue Army!!!, love the Ricoh), Formula One (bit obssessed with this), playing golf (it's not as boring as it looks on tv....honest), computer games (nerd), chillin and watching films/tv with me mates and generally having a good larf innit.
FACT WARNING!! I have different coloured eyes! (Yep i'm a genetic freak)
24 totally owns!! Pete & Pete (that program should still be on, Artie!!!), Lost, Family Guy and Alan Partridge (DAN!!! DAN!!!...and so ..s of other televisual treats to.
Love rocking out in my room like a mad spaz and then when i go out standing rooted to the spot! I can dance honest, I just cant be asked, esp when stuff played is usually stuff uve heard like a million times anyway. (come on campbell, mix it up a bit!..fuck the metallica half hour.)
I usually can be found hanging about the Campbell, Cross or Browns, probably doing undercover surveillance on bag terrorists.(WARNING in-joke)
Love making lists of anything list worthy. Love intriguing stats, all so very factual. (yeah, i know, i already said i was a nerd).
I get high on mad sour sugary sweets and coke in a cold glass bottle. If I'm on a wild one i may even have a sip of Lemonade, not too much mind, lets take it easy. Oh yeah...and I dont drink, well I drink just not stuff with alcohol in it...just because.
Extreme weather is the best thing ever. Thunderstorms and snow. Both together and my life would be complete.
Love cheap old B-movies. They so good in a very bad way. Classics. Invaders from mars! fucking brilliantly shit.
Aint pictures of nukes brilliant?!, wrong i know but they are kinda impressive and nice and pwitty. its a shame they tend to leave u with a bit of a burning sensation and mutant children. Though i've heard some Lemsip tends to just take the edge off. BTW Never watch 'Threads' it's messed up.
I like maps (dunno why i just do). Google Earth is the best thing ever!!!
Love driving me car. Random journeys down country lanes on a hot evening with windows down and music on loud......its sweet. Just cruising in the summer, going where the fook ya want....ahhhh.
Apparently i'm good at impressions but its not for me to say, even though i did just then. "sthuper goals, in the sthan, we lav et!"- guess impressions dont work using text.
-----------------------------------------------------------
BAD THINGS
Love the music, hate 'the scene'. "you should wear tighter trousers" (fuck off) "I like your little beard" (sorry somehow that became an Office joke....still..point made I feel). Stop looking like a fucking girl! Emo is NOT a haircut! OK!!
People trying to be individual by copying everyone else who's trying to be individual. If u cant pull it off, look in the mirror and stop looking like a twat!. (see the Say Anything lyrics below....Admit It!!)
Hate circle pits at gigs which arent even remotely hardcore. like at fucking All-American Rejects for christ's sake!! Bellends!
Political correctness has gone mad. Also hate 'i'm a twat who fell over' compensation claims, health and safety is ruining the world. Schools can't take kids on trips for fear of being sued! Take some self responsibility!!
Hate wild conspiracy theories. we DID land on the moon. (PROOF) . Don't shit on one of mans greatest achievements.
Hate religious wars and terrorists, its called FAITH for a reason, its not necessarily FACT, dont kill anyone over it. Pricks!
Hate Commies, Hippies, N.E.D.'s (Nominally Educated Delinquents or Chavs to most) and The French :)
-----------------------------------------------------------
OTHER STUFF
I've done 2 degrees, cos i'm a lazy shit. Mechanical Engineering at Warwick and Physics and Brum Uni. Proper nerd-core.
I work at Jacobs (no not the biscuit company) in town. They are a huge engineering company all over the world but the cov office is mainly transport related stuff to do with Coventry Council. So bus lanes, traffic light control and such. Currently I am working on setting up a team to do data collection so the data can be used to simulate traffic levels and that. ooo
-----------------------------------------------------------
"I'm NEVER wrong, I just lie occasionally."
"When you walk by a group of quote-unquote normal people You chuckle to yourself patting yourself on the back as you scoff It's the same superiority complex Shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell And makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma You spend every moment of your waking life bitching about" - Say Anything
