Philip Martins was born in Chichester in the south of England. He is just a normal 36-year-old guy who does normal things like watching all the latest and greatest hit TV shows and playing the odd game, taking a few walks here and there and is really good at freaking out over nothing. He has managed to convince himself many times that he is dying from terrible terminal illnesses over the last eighteen years. Amazingly, he isn't dead yet and is currently exploring the possibility that maybe, just maybe he has a few more years yet. He also worries that by saying such things he'll be struck down by an aneurysm immediately.
