Kim Dent-Brown Home Talk Editing activity Barnstarium Editing tools Userboxen Userspace sitemap Ten odd things about me In my late teens I was a member of the National Youth Theatre in the UK, and was on stage with people like Tim McInnerny, Alex Jennings and Clive Mantle. None of whom will have the faintest idea who I am. In 1979 (I think) I was in a theatre company on the Edinburgh Fringe and appeared in a BBC Radio 4 programme of the best of music and comedy. Other performers included Rowan Atkinson and Emma Thompson. Neither of whom... I went to Southampton University, failed my degree ignominiously due to spending too much time on politics and drama, and was Students' Union President in 1980-81. My successor was Jon Sopel. I worked in professional theatre (front-of-house and publicity) from 1981-85 at Salisbury Playhouse and the Swansea Grand Theatre. Ken Dodd had me on stage to take his coat every night. I was in the Territorial Army and then joined the Gloucestershire Regiment for a year of Regular Army service. I was stationed in West Berlin before the Berlin Wall came down, and among my peculiar duties once commanded the guard over Rudolf Hess in Spandau Prison. In 1986 I started to train as an Occupational Therapist, thus finally ending my irresponsible adolescence at the age of 28. Since then I have lived a life of irreproachable respectability. Even including my chosen spiritual path of Wicca, into which I was initiated in 1996. I trained as a Dramatherapist and in 2001-2004 completed a PhD at the University of Hull on the topic of therapeutic storymaking. I have even managed to publish some of my work. My best time for the Great North Run is 2 hours 21 minutes. I never edit Wikipedia naked. As you can see, having brushed against notability for much of my life, I have successfully managed to avoid it for myself! And now? I work as a psychotherapy researcher at the University of Sheffield and in the National Health Service in Yorkshire, England. Despite my first name, I am in fact male! So far most of my edits seem to have involved Neopaganism or military history. I have made major revisions to the Wicca article, removing large chunks of it out into sub-pages so as to drastically shorten it. I do not have as much time for main space editing as I would like, so in small chunks of free time I contribute to discussion of articles for deletion and candidates for adminship as well as doing some new page patrolling. I have an account at Meta here. File:Kim1.JPG This Kim is not female...
