                          Into my heart an air that kills
                          From yon far country blows:
                          What are those blue remembered hills,
                          What spires, what farms are those?
                          That is the land of lost content,
                          I see it shining plain,
                          The happy highways where I went
                          And cannot come again.

Think twice before going to the drama boards...

• The user is Male.

• The user lives in London.

• The user is not here to network, or to climb greasy poles. The user is here to help build an encyclopedia.

• The user is old enough to know better, as the user is frequently being told.

• The user holds a mediocre Honours degree in Modern history and Political science.

• The community has been kind (or misguided) enough to award the user 8 Barnstars and enough munchies to supply a small food bank for a couple days. Ta :)

• The user is available for Barmitzvahs, Weddings and Funerals at competitive rates, where the user will deliver his popular lecture, 16,784 edits on Wikipedia. The agony and the ecstasy. The user is happy to waive any fees in return for food and drink. Or just drink.

• Articles Wot I have Crehated (sic). Tricky one this. My article 'creation' has usually occurred through accident. Viz;

Rose Rosenberg. A distant relative of mine. I mentioned this through some light hearted talk on a colleague's talk page, a Wikipedia:Women in red member. I gave a few vague biographical details, and before you could say 'she became the first woman admitted to the House of Commons' Strangers' Dining Room' she had created the article.

Saturday Zoo. I mentioned the programme while indulging in banter on a colleagues talk page. Well it didn't exist on WP! I began a pathetic first paragraph in drafts and again, hey presto, Sqirrels had finished a decent draft that was out there in minutes. You know who you are!

Jack Nissenthall. I actually wrote the first half of this. I left it rotting in a sandbox while I took a loong wikibreak. A kind colleague saved it from deletion and finished it in my absence. You know who you are!

To you all, respect and gratitude.

• A cheery link. I appear to have amused an Unperson who seems to have been involved in some way with the tragic temporary death of the noted User:Catherine de Burgh/Catherine Bonkbuster, due to claims that Alice Reighly had attempted, through supernatural means, to improve her article by offering Her Ladyship a Ten Shilling postal order. Discovered on a website that cannot be named.

• Always remember that There is no secret really, that's a fallacy.

• And finally, thanks for visiting my user page. Be seeing you, no doubt.
