Filthyphil
From ARRSEpedia
No stranger to pies, Filthyphil is prodigal with persiflage but is better known for his counselling skills.
A person of rare compassion, our man is committed to keeping the streets of his city safe, one school crossing at a time. To see him in his 6xl DayGlo vest with lollipop stick is enough to bring a tear to the most hardened eye.
Filthy (as he is known to both his mates) says his proudest moment to date was being quoted by the British gutter press as being indicative of the mindset of the British Soldier despite:
- Never having been further north than Brisbane and
- His service being limited to under a year with the RAAF Cadets - a time of great hardship and famine from his account.
Always ready with a kind word for other posters and those less blessed than himself, I would advise you to keep an eye on him when it becomes close to his turn to get the drinks in.
