Why the Name?
Mostly stems from a certain puppet, mixed with a liberal dose of real ale and a splash of Uberworld (a PG-Plus talker).

Some articles I created
MSC Pamela, Chapelfield, Harris Shutter, Teesport, Taric code,

Some articles I plan to create, and references to use

 * Archeology of Ipswich or breaking History of Ipswich out into an article of its own from Ipswich -- There's the Time Team dig, the recent works in Holywells Park, Ipswich and I dare say much more asides
 * User:Ratarsed/Architecture of Ipswich possibly as a separate article, or just as a section on Ipswich.
 * DanceEast -- About DanceEast from their website
 * Geography of the United Kingdom 2001 Census -- Census Geography form the ONS Geography for the 2001 Census in England and Wales by Professor David Martin of the University of Southampton and Prof. Martin's GIS Research

Interests

 * Photography -- see my gallery on Wikimedia Commons
 * Geographical Information Systems (Geocoding, UK Postal System)
 * Local History
 * Learning Norwegian
