Who on earth is Phil?
Binns, The Boy Jorgensen and Lucy Van the Belgian wandered in to the Temple of Convenience one night this week, to share a half of mild.
What they found was some remarkable graffiti in the toilets, all centreing around a man called Phil.
Where to begin? How about ‘Phil puts batteries in the hole of his penis?' Or ‘Phil doesn’t believe in Germany’?
Phil, apparently, also ‘invented Michael Jackson’ and ‘can breath (sic) underwater.’ In a dark twist, he also ‘stabs babies.’
If the toilet walls are to believed, April 1 is ‘International Phil Day,’ something we’re wholeheartedly behind. Presumably Germans are not invited.
Phil has a fan though, as someone has also daubed on the loo wall the simple message: ‘Don’t talk shit about Phil’.
We’d never dream of it.
Are you Phil? Do you know Phil? Have you seen other Phil-based graffiti in the city? Let us know here.

Perhaps Phil is an theoretical enigma. Perhaps we are all Phil. (except the baby stabbing business).
Depends on the baby Jorgo. For example, what if they actually meant to write "Phil stabs baby back ribs covered in BBQ sauce" but didn't have time and hoped everyone would get the right idea?
Touche Rene.
I Phil, therefore I am
Phil is the Justin Bieber lookalike mo fo with the Aussie accent thats behind the bar smetimes
His trusty sidekick is the Matt Damon lookalike Leigh also with an Aussie accent

Be sure to ask for them next time your in Big Hands or the Temple
Ask Leigh to do his dance for you.
I think there was a lot of Phil related talk in the gents of common before there refurb a good while back.
