                           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.

* The user made its first edit on the 12th May 2012, at 04.03 am (GMT). Time flies when you are having fun.


*[[Ishmael (Moby-Dick)|Call me Simon]]


* The user is [[Male]].


* The user lives in [[London]].


* The user is not here to [[Social media|network]], or to [[Ecclesiastes|climb greasy poles]]. The user is here to help build an encyclopedia.


* [[1961|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 [[Barmitzvah]]s, [[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. [http://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=694&p=202647&hilit=the+four+squirrels+of+the+apocalypse#p202647 I appear to have amused] an [[Greg Kohs|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 [[Inferno (Dante)#Ninth Circle (Treachery)|that cannot be named]].  


* Always remember that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnvYymrCn4g There is no secret really, that's a fallacy].


* And finally, thanks for visiting my user page. [http://chrisbaer.net/mp/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mcgoohan04b.jpg Be seeing you], no doubt.
