Find it pretty funny myself!

P.s. Bit pissed, Phil, sorry mate!

I'm lucky enough to be well-informed. Better-informed than some. Phil's gonna hate me for this, but let's hope I can make it up to him!

The thing that's f**king frustrating is that I could never betray my source by revealing his name. I can only fill in the gaps - maybe Phil still gets paid now, or got paid when he was the manager. Essentially, we all now that Chris et al are top blokes, and that if they pay attention to Oxfam, the odds are they will pay attention to their best mates before that. I hope you agree with me that people such as Phil don't need their charity, though? P.s. Cobalt hates me!

Honestly you wouldn't. He's a fifty-year-old with a beer gut, but a legend quota the size of Achilles. If I've learnt anything from the Classics, it 's that one ought never envy anyone their well-earned position. Maybe that's way Chris is so self-effacing.

Put it this way, the source is someone who's known Phil and Chris since they were 13, and is still in contact with them both from time to time, albeit by no means on a daily basis!

I have heard from very reliable sources that, in exchange for funding the band's first EP, he would receive 1% of everything they ever earned. Thus, it would seem that he's very well provided-for.
