Antique damaged by maid - suggestions?

[maxthecat]

SirPhil, Ms. Phil & Max Fan Club,

Well, I'm toasted to an extra crispy golden caramel brown.  School starts tomorrow, and mixed with work it'll be a tiring combination.  Forgive me in advance if my postings are occasionally a bit tardy.

SirPhil, you're probably still breathless from my showbiz connection revelations, but those were only a few recalled on the fly.  (Got a chance to visit Grandma's grave in Palm Springs.  She's buried in the same cemetary with Frank Sinatra and Sonny Bono.)  There I go again.  SirPhil, do you need any further elaboration on my connections?

Now, when the press ask you, "How do you find America?", you'll change "We took a left at Greenland" to "We took a Ringo at Hawaii."  No doubt that will prod them into asking, "What do you say to those who say you're just a Beatle impersonator?" echoing the press' famous jab at the Beatles of being Elvis clones when they first arrived here.  You'll wave your hand dismissively, and say with a tinge of sarcasm, but in your best singing voice, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Ms PhilMax Fan Club,

Did he behave himself while I was away?  Do you really think "As Time Goes By" is a second rate show?  Who is this Morse character you speak of?  Can we weave some of his characteristics into our reinvention of SirPhil as a literary Singaporean Expat Mod?

SirPhil, Ms. PhilMaxFanClub,

How are you guys?  Don't get cold feet.  All systems are go.

Now, some might complain about the WWII parallels, but nonetheless, the day of the invasion will be called P-Day.  Resistance should prove minimal and we'll have air cover in the form of a couple of B-52s dropping thousands of tons of SirPhil's glossies for good measure.

Gotta get back to work.

Max

Good to have you back!!!! Well things have been very quiet without your input.  I fear Sir Phil may be tiring of this showbiz lark....get in there Max quick!!!! Motivate the man and think FAME/FORTUNE/WADS OF MONEY IN AGENTS FEES ETC ETC.

As for possible roles in UK for Sir Phil...Morse is a detective of the educated type who lives in Oxford and may have had mod type tendencies in his younger years.  However, I have also had thought around Who wants to be a Millionaire....would Sir Phil not be great on that show??? If we could get him on the Singapore one we would be laughing all the way to the bank Max!!!! We could be his phone a friend and even go and watch him live in action being ask the audience........the possibilities are endless!! Have a ponder and let me know what you think......

There used to be a real sad soap in the UK called Eldorado, which was based on the lives of expats living in Spain somewhere....did think a newer spiced up Singaporean type thing could be considered with Phil as the main man of course!!!....just a few thoughts....let me know what you think.

[Bewildered]

Oh my goodness! I was shocked to see all the postings by Phil, Paul and Max on personal and irrelevant stuff when the thread's on HOW TO REMOVE STAINS FROM ANTIQUE.
I thought I could pick up a tip or two but except for one or two useful hints the rest of the thread was like buddies using this board to send messages to each other.
I hope you guys will do your 'catching up' via emails or start a new thread! Gee......

Dear Bewildered,

Thank you for your recent letter.  You are automatically enrolled as a lifetime member of the SirPhilM Fan Club.  You will no longer be bewildered as our process includes automatic mandatory registration.

Dear Ms. PhilM Fan Club,

Brilliant idea !!  Where better a place for SirPhil to make a splash than Who wants to be a Millionaire?  What do you think, should we start a new thread devoted to SirPhil without all the furniture stuff?  I must admit, I did think the furniture title was a bit odd, but it was our fun little neglected corner of the message board, wasn't it?  E-mailing each other wouldn't be the same, would it?  And we definitely do not exclude anybody.

Of course, SirPhil is a bit on the shy and humble side--all the more reason to love the big lug.  Maybe if we promise not to post more than once a week, he would put his natural aversion to being the center of attention aside, and indulge our mission in life to worship him.

I've been meaning to tell you that you are in line for promotion from Chief Groupie to a position of greater responsibility.  It's your call on the new thread thing.  Just remember that SirPhil embarrasses easily, so give it a subtle title.  Is that all okay with you SirPhil?

P.S.  SirPhil, did I mention that my little sister had lunch with Peter Tork of The Monkees?

[PhilM]

I dropped out of this piece of fun when I realised there were only three of us contributing, a sure sign others had become bored! One small piece of information though for our Lady friend regarding the Morse suggestion, been there done that in UK, Berlin, etc. in my younger days

Fair enough SirPhil,

And just when I'd worked out a deal with the government whereby I swore to give up my opposition to the English apostrophe in return for a gradual phasing in of the complete replacement of the letter "f" with "Ph."  I'll still be your humble servant.

[PhoneGirl]

Well said PhilM!!! Very, very boring in fact.

[disagreee]

Very very funny I thougt.  Do it again sometime

[BooHoo]

I miss this thread.  Thanx for the laughs.

[Phil&Max Phan Club]

.......Which just goes to prove that we all enjoy different things!!! How are you doing Max?? Shall we start a new thread on something equally exciting??

[maxthecat]

Hi Ms. P&MFC,

How are you my love?  I'm so overwhelmed since school started (work, school, screaming kids, often impatient wife) that I'm probably going to revert back to being more of a quick reader of this board, rather than an active poster.  That is, when I get a chance to read it!!  But if you start any threads I'll surely try to add to them.

Hope you're well

P.S.  Don't worry, we'll get him to be SirPhilM the Conquerer some day.
