LameCat was once a Cornerback for the Maidstone Pumas amateur American football club based in Maidstone, Kent until he received a Brachial plexus injury playing that sport; hence the name: Lame (One-handed) Cat (Puma).

Since that day Lame has had super procrastination powers and recently that has manifested into an interest in editing/creating articles on Wikipedia. Other recent interests are Genealogy, reading Historical fiction and researching Military history. But he's not much good at playing Twister.

Recently created articles include

South African Light Horse - I noticed that Sir Winston Churchill's page included a link to the Imperial Light Horse regiment which was not the one in which he served and I felt it was important to correct that mistake. The article is not quite complete but almost there!
Major-general Sir Geoffrey Barton - Commanded a brigade during the Second Boer War and I wanted to link a him in the above article.
Major-general John Talbot Coke - Another missing general that commanded a brigade during the Second Boer War and had a prominent role in the disastrous Battle of Spion Kop.
Natal Field Force - An organised list of the battalions/squadrons that formed Sir Redvers Buller's army in Natal, South Africa.
