Can someone spell it phonetically for me please.

The constellation is Perseus, which I would render Per-see-us with the stress on the Per (I guess that would be PER-see-us, but I don't really know much about the proper rendition of the phonetics).
The shower is thus the PER-see-id shower.
Bear in mind that this is how I say it. Your mileage may vary.

Space Weather News for August 9, 2007
http://spaceweather.com
The Perseid meteor shower has begun. Although the display will not
peak until
August 12th and 13th, sky watchers are already counting as many as a
dozen
meteors per hour (including some nice fireballs) during the darkest
hours before
dawn. Rates could increase 5- to 10-fold when the shower reaches
maximum on
Sunday night and Monday morning. Advice: Get away from city lights.
While many
Perseids will be bright enough to see from light-polluted urban
areas, the
shower's full grandeur is reserved for places with dark and starry
skies. This
is a good weekend to go camping.
Visit http://Spaceweather.com for photos, observing tips and a sky
map. Full
coverage of the shower begins today and will continue until Perseid
activity
subsides
