So Phil the Greek has been shooting his fat mouth off again. His latest pearl of wisdom occurred when he asked some Abroginal dancers "Do you still throw spears at each other?" He was answered by William Brin (Ngoo Nvi) who said "No we don't do that any more." He should have added "only at ignorant white men" but I suppose the chap was too polite. Other gems over the years have included "If you stay here much longer, you'll be slitty eyed" to British students in China (1986). "You managed not to get eaten then?" to a student who had been trekking in New Guinea (1998) and "Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf" to young deaf people in Cardiff referring to a school's steel band (1999). His latest statement is excused by saying that "it was taken out of context. B...s!
