I am "furriephillips"

Now look here Google & YouTube...  It's been ages since I set up my Google and YouTube accounts and this is because I had an absolute nightmare, trying to get my desired username/URL and I literally gave up on it.

Today I've been jumping through hoops to make it patently obvious that I am "furriephillips".  I am on other systems (eg., https://twitter.com/furriephillips)

In the hopes that I'll be able to convince the YouTube gods, to let me have...

https://www.youtube.com/user/furriephillips

and G+...

https://plus.google.com/+furriephillips

It just seems like so much effort, if the brand url isn't there at the beginning.
