Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Hey Homer,i had to have one when i heard it was signed,

Paul had alot of stuff on display,pcm was there too,i just had one thing in mind though

Was great to finally meet Transtechnic too,a fellow Dub and just as elusive!!! and as he said a great time talking to Paul and very kind of him to give us his time,an extremely down to earth guy!! collects 1/50 and 1/1 too!!

Darren was in a rush out to get his big HH set up working,if its still in the box its not making money

so all in all a very productive and eventfull day
