Phidias.....

[zephyr22]

I just wanted to say I think your a great bodybuilder as well as a good person. I appreciate your input on this board more than you know. Thanks agian.

 

[MAINEVENT]

I 2nd this.....Phidias is a great bodybuilder but more importantly a great person. His knowledge and passion for the sport is evident from the moment you talk to him and he's always willing to lend a helping hand.

Hope your doing well JC.

 

[Big Bapper]

One of the best.

He is French, but hes OK.

 

[buselmo]

someone (male) who likes chocolate as much as phidias does is a good guy in my book

 

[Designbuilt]

I agree, the board wouldn't be the same without him.

 

[hotttsauce]

He is French, but hes OK.

LOL!

JC - good guy + smart guy = Phidias (even tho French)

 

[mikeyt869]

Phidias is a great guy, one thing ive been meaning to ask when will you compete again Phidias?

 

[Phidias]

Someone delete this thread or I'm gonna blush each time I log in and see it now!

Seriously, well... THANK YOU GUYS... but it's really embarrassing... TONS of great people on PM, I just try to keep up with most of you!

I know I'm French... but hey who's perfect?

Mikey, as far as competing goes, I have a few shows on my mind for the upcoming months... once I make up my mind and officially quit the choco addict club I'll let you know... but please don't expect 27 out pics ala Alex A...

Zephyr, I hadn't even seen that thread when I replied to your pm... you got me!

[mikeyt869]

Phidias are you a native-born Frenchman? If so, how do you speak English so well? Is it common for native Europeans to speak such good English? Cuz judging by your spelling/grammar, you speak/write English better than a good amount of actual Americans.

Yes, I think this too. He also understands American culture really well.

As far as PM goes, I don't think I've ever seen him flame anyone and is always there to help.

Plus, he's a decent BBer.

 

[JETHRO TULL]

Yes, I think he is okay too.

He is French, but hes OK.

The nationality does present a problem, but not an insurmountable one.

We have pictures of him at both apartments. I like to have as many reminders of my physical imperfections as possible. It keeps me humble.

JC,

I have a joke for you. What is the difference between an Aussie kiss and a French kiss?

Aussie kiss is from down under

 

[michelin]

Yeah, I gotta agree, Phidias is always there to help and encourage.

Great guy

I'm more Parisian than French... like comparing NYC to Montana for example! JT if you read this...

HAHA but yeah, Ricky, born in Paris and been living there for close to 28 years now.

As for speaking English decently, well... it depends on which European country you're raised in. Honestly, most French people suck when it comes to foreign languages, even the most educated... it's not something they make a priority of in school. Most kids learn their first words at the age of 10 or 11... when in Scandinavian lands for example (Denmark, Sweden, Finland) they start much earlier.

Even eastern countries, despite the former Russian ascendancy, have in average a much better level. Look at Vadim b1, IMO one of PM's most knowledgeable member: his English is perfect!

Same for Buselmo, living in Saudi Arabia! You wouldn't know, you'd think he was born in London.

And what about Big A too?

No, since you Americans don't make any effort to learn other languages, the whole world has to adapt to communicate with you...

Well, not so true actually... your first language is Spanish now.

JC

Well, not so true actually... your first language is Spanish now. [/QUOTE]

hahaha, funny...but yes, so it would seem....however, I can understand it, and speak a little...as I am part Spanish....


Usually its not quite good enough, and Spanish speaking customers will speak English as soon as they realize I am not very good at it,lol...

 

[Phidias]

chocolate but im sure he does fine with women too.

Chocolate has never disappointed me...

Plus, he's a decent BBer.

"Used to be" would be more accurate actually...

Should I use one of your off-season pics as a wallpaper on my PC to remind me to never let myself go this much?

JC,

LOL!
Men at Work's song "Land down under" is the ones I'm listening the most these days.

Yeah, I gotta agree, Phidias is always there to help and encourage.

Best of luck for your show buddy! You've come such a long way!!! Mind boggling progresses under the Jersey's rain.

Thank you Brad! You're one of the few guys who can make me open a thread when I see they've posted in it.
