(who this Phoevos is)

NB: If some characters appear as gibberish, it is most probable that you lack greek fonts and /or encoding on your browser. If you can not live with that, you can download greek fonts (that will normally co-operate with Western encoding, too) here

My full name is Ευθύβουλος Παναγιωτίδης/ Efthyvoulos Panagiotidis and I was born on the 14th of October 1973. As my first name was rather long -even by greek standards- and the available pet name sounded quite ridiculous (my apologies to all those that still have to go by it), my mother changed it to Φοίβος/ Phoevos. Now, I usually sign using my initial: Φ (Phi). Since I came to England, people found it much easier to call me by my initial. Thus, you stand in area Phi. Neat, uh?

So, after I was born (a really fat baby), I grew up and then went to school. I had quite a quiet adolescence, as some people can afford to take their time and be immature and clumsy as long as they wish, past puberty and youth... I finished school in 1991 and then real education started. In the meantime I had to work

My family is made up by my father, Λάκης/ Lakis, my mother Μαίρη/ Mary and my sister Ελένη/ Helen. I now live in Colchester, England after having dwelt for a year in London, England. Now, if it is indeed the case that only this second placename rings a bell, this is no wonder at all; believe me.

My girlfriend is Ιωάννα/ Ioanna who's currently working as a teacher and collecting University degrees at the same time.

As for good friends, well, here I should mention Sofia, George (Jorge), Niq, Stratis, Athena, Satsok, Pierre and Dolan. All names in order of appearance, if you don't see your name here please let us know (as if...), the decision of the judge is final.

Professional Experience

1992-1996: Teaching English (up to Intermediate Level) to individuals. Supporting pupils with their homework, one of which with mild learning difficulties. Athens, Greece.

1995-1996: Line staff in Taco Time, Alexandras Ave. branch, Athens. In other words, I was a member of the team cooking and preparing the dishes in a Mexican fast food restaurant. Other relevant chores were included. I underwent a 5-day additional training after which I was awarded with a diploma, proudly kept and cherished.

Hobbies , interests and activities

Reading, literature and popular science mainly. I also keep a strong interest in Physics, History and Vexillology (the study of flags, of all things). I always found maps fascinating, too.
Travelling, especially by train, trekking and hiking. Only with good company, though.
Rock from the '80s and '90s, Beethoven, classical orchestra, vocal music, ballads. Because "life without music would be a mistake" as Nietzsche put it -who ended up a madman, anyway.
Cinema. Some times for the sake of the cinematic experience itself.
Swimming. No pools, please.
Cooking. When it does not end up too frustrating. Eating, too (funny how this works...)
Scotch and good wine. Beer is for weak kidneys.
Being with friends.
