I wish I had a Phillip in my life . Lucky Theresa

Anniebach Thu 25-Jul-19 08:25:36

yes, he stood with her when she made her last speech outside No 10, he was in the house for her last PMQ . This is what caused me to say ‘I wish’. He was there for her and for such a relationship it has to be a two way thing.

I wonder if they are closer because they don’t have children?

I thought I had a 'phillip' till he cheated on me,it wasnt all one way as I was a 'phillipa' how I miss someone to be my 'phillip',a pair of arms and We rather than I.
I am coping and making a new life for myself,but my heart still cries for 'phillip' and a hug

I agree, nothing to do with money but having such a supportive and loving husband. Both Philip and Theresa conducted themselves with great dignity throughout. Whilst I may not have agreed with everything Theresa May did the fact remains that she tried to do her best against all the odds and that is all any of us can do.

Thanks Annie, it's good to acknowledge how important a strong life long relationship is. Theresa and Philip May do seem to have been lucky to find each other. You can bet both of them have made sure they nurture their relationship, as well as each other.

I have a Philip thank heavens.

Anniebach Wed 24-Jul-19 22:17:59

It’s over for her, now she needs a holiday with Phillip , it will I think take time but she can move on , PM’s do move on

Grammaretto Wed 24-Jul-19 21:53:04

I wouldn't swap with her though for all the Philips in the world.

Anniebach Wed 24-Jul-19 21:20:58

Her Phillip loves her , she loves him.

Sara65 Wed 24-Jul-19 19:46:12

Sympathies Annie, I don’t like putting the rubbish out, somehow I can’t see Mr May doing it either!

Anniebach Wed 24-Jul-19 19:24:08

I have been putting out the rubbish every week for 43 years , wish it hadn’t been so

Yes Ellan. A gentleman

EllanVannin Wed 24-Jul-19 19:07:17

A rare breed-------a gentleman ! Few and far between.

You don’t need ‘a Phillip’ Callistemon

Callistemon Wed 24-Jul-19 18:24:23

Although, I think if I suggested we had a joint, he would ask for lamb rather than beef!

MissAdventure Wed 24-Jul-19 18:21:20

I can roll my own, lessis wink

Callistemon Wed 24-Jul-19 18:19:51

Well, this one would think a joint is something you make in woodwork or something which creaks when you walk grin
He can pour a glass of wine though

Grammaretto Wed 24-Jul-19 18:17:53

Or pour you a glass of wine?

Lessismore Wed 24-Jul-19 18:15:42

Phillip could roll you a joint, takes the edge off.

MissAdventure Wed 24-Jul-19 18:09:12

I think I need a Phillip.
One with big chunky legs, a hairy chest and a beard, preferably.

Callistemon Wed 24-Jul-19 17:53:07

Some Philips are quite good at 'boy jobs' like putting out the rubbish.

MissAdventure Wed 24-Jul-19 17:28:01

grin

Anniebach Wed 24-Jul-19 17:23:08

Must be something about Phillip’s. ?

I just got a bit sentimental watching her, we all have good and bad times , she must have said to her Phillip ‘I am cheesed of with it all’, perhaps not her exact words.

I haven’t been able to say it to a Phillip for 43 years, so bit of
envy and self pity crept in.

I would love to say to a Phillip ‘you find a gardener and you tell the council to sod off.

Callistemon Wed 24-Jul-19 17:19:53

It is indeed good to have a Philip smile

Anniebach we are no real substitute but someone is always here if you need to talk flowers

MissAdventure Wed 24-Jul-19 17:16:40

Oh I totally understand that feeling.
It would be nice to know someone will support you through life's trials.
They could do a bit of diy, too, if they wanted. smile
