Bounty Hunter Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 While I'm not sure why you started this particular topic in the Empire Day forum, I too feel sad that Phil has passed away. I have only met him once, several years ago. But I cannot get the report of his death confirmed. Can you tell us where you read this? Last I heard his was in an elderly home in Palm Springs, USA and rather ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITTLEOBI-WAN Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Very sad but it seems to be true. I met him a few years back a really nice guy. He will be sadly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This knucklescraping numbskull didn't get the classic Monty Python reference earlier and then responds with this puerile attempt at "humour" - anybody who has seen his past posts over the years knows what to expect.

Bounty Hunter Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Be that as it may, I'm quite sure Mr Brown agreed to that, because when I met him a couple years back, indeed he was already in a wheelchair, he seemed to thoroughly enjoy his day out with the fans. And it's still no excuse for your comment, which lacks the respect Mr Brown deserves. I'm not trying to start a flaming discussion here, but it wouldn't hurt if you were to come back to write something along the lines of 'ok, sorry, I take it back'.

jamie1138 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i'm not even sure if i have met the great,and sadly,late phil brown... terrible,isn't it? too many obscure autographs in the pile,that's for sure... i definitely got shelagh frasers though... although it was one of those pre-signed jobs where they scribble your name underneath. and thanks for noting the monty python swipe...honestly some people are just plain stupid.
