Coops will be 30 soon and I’m (ahem!!!) 27 (cough!) this year. Derren is over 50 and practically brain dead!
Old age begins at 27 as mental powers start to decline

Bloody hell! Im 30 in August. Is there no hope?
I turn 19 on the 26th March… man I want to stay this young forever now lol
Maybe at that age, humans become quite accustomed to what they sense of the world? It may explain why the brain slips up weirdly like that.
I just turned 27. That link turned up dead for me, though, so I am going to refrain from being too worried.
Well you\’re all positively foetal compared to me! I’m going to be the grand old age of 37 this year, so I can look forward to my memory failing me.
Now where did I put my thingamybob?…
Actually, I’m sure my memory and other mental faculties are working better than ever! Don’t worry folks, you’re only as old as you feel. Or the man/woman you feel!
I’m same age as Phillis (I think)…
but according to Nintendo DS Brain Training, my brain age is 21, so I aint worried. *lol*
xx
Hmhm…i wonder if this blog and your jobs @Brown Towers still exist after tommorow!
I just turned 28…..but I have the body of a 24 year old. So I will do just fine……LOL
P.S . I love the old lady smoking a cuban. I hope that is me someday….
I should just give up now!
*hitches up trousers, buys Werthers Originals, and starts to tell young uns where they are going wrong*
I’ll be 18 this year… but iv’e already started forgetting things like what I was actually going to write. Hmm maybe its just the short attention spand.
Honestly Phillis! Elsewhere on this blog it states “geek in his late 30s”!!!!!!!
I’m positively ancient compared to all the previous comments – much closer to Phillis’s age. Can honestly say have never been happier in my own skin. Life experience more than compensates for once in a while forgetting what it was I wanted when I get to the shops or the name of that gentleman on the tv who gives people tricks or treats.
I’m 17 in a couple weeks, entering my last 10 years of life
Wow Coops and Phillis, you’re old.
I’m 21 but still look (apparently) and feel about 16.
Ken – Stay away from that whole Werther’s originals arena, that’s not a good place to be!
I don’t even want to post what my age is here, it seems I’m older than most of you. That said, my mind is still perfectly… b….bur, burrrr….what day is it? Nurse? What day is it?
As the saying goes, you are only as old as you feel. Having copped a good feel I can confirm that Phyllis is indeed 27. Gorgeous breasts on that er….man.
That was you…?! Looks like I owe Derren an apology.
Wouldn’t you be able to tell by the fact Giant Alex is a giant?
This must be the first gender specific reference to Phillis I’ve encountered on this blog, and I’m still unsure of Phillis’ gender ( are those moobs?) Help me out here!
Phillis is definitely a girl. Just look at the name!
Ahh, but is that merely a daft nickname for someone actually called Phil? Various posts on here have left me confused :S
I’m not sure whether Phillis Dorris is a he or a she…. or whether it is two people one male called Phil and one female called Dorris… or whether Phillis Dorris is a transexual/transgender?
I await further info. *lol*

We’ll never know, guys. We’ll never know.
Unless we click on the “About” section of this blog, in which case it says he’s a guy. I rpefer not knowing, though, because it adds an air of mystery and whimsy. Also, it might be a lie.
Like I said, we’ll never know.
Fair enough, I just feel awkward refering to anyone in the 3rd person as “it”… seems rude!
Just be careful to refer to them only by name, it works really well. It makes it more fun!
Maybe we can’t figure it out because we are over 27.
There is no class of Gender for Phillis. It prefers it. Trust me on this!
Oh and since I’m here…The art site is progressing rather nicely. We may even be in a position to give you lovely devotees a little sneak preview as to how it looks in the coming days. Lots of exciting happenings here at Towers Brown I can tell you
Are you sure you’re not just being mean and encouraging us to call Phillis “it?” I’m skeptical of this.
Perhaps Phillis is actually one of Monty Python’s “Knights who say Ni” from the Holy Grail movie, and Alex wants him/ her/ it to suffer!

I AM A LAYDEE!!!
Phillis – that really didn’t help… now I have you pegged as a rubbish transvestite! And I’m still no closer to that elusive 3rd person pronoun…
See? I was right all along.
LOL
SGC – Not so, you’ve been hedging your bets just like the rest of us.
Phillis – a photo might help!
Phillis for short could be Philly
Are you trying to make us look silly?
Some are amused
But most are confused
Do you have girl’s bits or a ……… ?
Nice one Katherine!
You’ve surpassed yourself. Good show.
Katherine = Awesome
I could already tell that Derren was over 50 … I’m 43 but geeez … my brain still sort of works whereas his ….
Noo, it is ofcourse the exact opposite of what this post says … first people’s brains are being used plainly to move around, have sex and say dumb things to eachother … then around 30 this starts to change … people actually start to use their brain …. all by theirselves … and they can actuallly see beyond the borders of their own brain … the who am I question is kinda hilarious by the time you’re looking back …
Besides .. who needs a brain in this world .. the minute you start to use it it becomes clear very soon that you’d better not use it … so go back and have crazy sex and such … hoover around … float … but DONT try to use it …
my first attempt was foiled by the captcha. that tells you something. I suppose there must have been a time when I was 27, but I can’t quite vouch for it.
thanks to all those above who have subtracted a few inches from my self-esteem by making me feel older. I’m off to find a seniors blog where I can feel young(er).
haha I like how some of you are trying/not trying to figure out Phillis’s gender. Iv’e always thought of ‘It’ as a guy, but who really knows. A picture would help, but it could be just one of phils friends. I would rather not find out, because it would ruen the image I have of him/her. Besides attacking Phillis, how tall is giant Alex really? He could be really small for all we know. We should make a separtate post about this.
Alrighty i did find it odd about the birthdate of it´´ …but, hey i´m fine…not worried (some women ly about their age ya know)
About Giant Alex i was wondering this afternoon….it sounds like G-I-Yoe ….But that would make G-I-Ant for Alex …huuh
Ahh, It’s all down hill from now on then I fear!
