    This has got to be a wind-up, it really has. This can't be for real.

    The general consensus is that Phil is two people, one more articulate and the other not so, this is why you see big holes in stories, inconsistencies, different spellings etc, one minute he is fluent, articulate and lucid, the next its illegible, manic and all over the place.

    It has crossed my mind, and a few others that maybe this is some sort of research for a theisis, how anon people from the internet can become wrapped up in one other anon user, how they get dragged in ect, after all there is a common misconception that everthing you read on the internet is true.

    If phil is real, which I dont think he is, I doubt he is in a Uni, I fear for our educaion system if they let him get to 3rd year, plus I always thought that Uni required some sort of work, have can he do that when he is posting on 2 websites from dawn till dusk? (no break)

    Sorry for the ramble, I hate it when people get sucked in, the arms and DT folk are pretty much fed up of him now so he is moving on to new boards,

    If Phil is two people, are they both sharing the brain cell or do they take it in turns?

    Thank you, iwanttosave - that makes sense. If he's posting on another forum as well, I don't want to go there!

    So it is wrong now to be unhappy and very down sometimes is it?

    I post here feeling bad and then by the time some people have finished I feel so very much worse than when I started.

  • Lusignan - are you suffering an addiction to Phil? Some sort of love-hate relationship? You just can't keep away!

    Phil, your parents will realise you're a failure (your word, not mine) when your final results come through and you graduate. That's if you pass. Is that maybe where your panic is coming from?
  • And if you feel so much worse now, why are you still posting?

    I must say, you've made me feel a lot better about myself. Thanks for that!

    They will not see it as failure as they do not understand grading at university and so they will just be proud I have a degree and that I have achieved a degree.

    I know the best thing I can do is really try to put every hour God Sends into my work for a few weeks and see if I can do well even if it does make me unhappy doing it.

    I know the best thing I can do also is look at my time at university and to know that I have overcome huge barriers to come as far as I have, that I should take pride in that I am a fighter and just look forward to something more rewarding in life after my degree.

    Lol - he was marginally more interesting than the precocious 7-year-old currently infesting my livingroom!

    Besides if I'm addicted, it's clearly not my fault - there was no Government health warning ;)
