Presently, I am a student who is working full-time at the Nationwide, one of the  UK's most prominent  building socities. The plan at the moment is to acquire funds to help towards university fees, and also for travelling; I and a friend are planning to go to Japan, Australia, Fiji and the United States of America. In between the working hours and my eventual desertion of this country, I spend time with my friends, read,  engage in active discussion with learned men, and attempt to  woo  fair maidens.

As for the next scholastic year (2006/2007), I shall be an undergraduate studying English Literature at either Warwick University or the University of Sussex. I enjoy reading books and poems, but find it abhorrent when people begin to discuss them at length, because the conversation is often boring and interspersed with views that I find repugnant in some regard. You may ask "Why do you want to study English if you think that way?", and that would be a valid question. The answer would be because I am a whimsical person, and often like to indulge my imagination, thus blocking out anything I do not like in the "real world". I find this form of escapism rewarding.

It is always difficult to describe oneself; so, in an effort to aid whomever may be reading this, other people have described me as: 

              <BR> <BR>

During my attendance here, I have been doing my best to make Wikipedia a better (and better informed) place. I am an administrator, and a staunch advocate for boldness in recognizing the hard work of others and of WikiLove in general.

Finally, when I'm here, I'm fiercely apolitical. I believe that truth and honesty – whether we like it or not – are far more useful than ideology.

Like everyone else, I enjoy music. I am inclined to music of the indie variety, and the myriad of its subcultures. My Winamp list can be seen to play:

I, like some others, see a moderate amount of vandalism of my user and talk pages as a good thing: it means that I am establishing a WikiPresence (to coin a term).

As Winston Churchill said, "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."

I've also had the following impostors:
