I'm originally from the wonderful [[British Isles]], though right now I'm living in [[Canada]] with my Canuckified [[fiancé]] to whom I proposed on [[Christmas Day]]. We met in [[Japan]] where we spent two years as Assistant English Teachers on the [[JET Programme]]. 

I haven't really had a big hand in any articles, except for [[Tom Petty]], which I rewrote pretty extensively a long time ago. I like to add things here and there. Being a [[pedantic]] bastard I'm always on the lookout for spelling and grammatical errors. My biggest love is music, so the majority of my bigger contributions are in this field, most notably [[Tom Petty]], but also in [[Super Furry Animals]] and [[Kula Shaker]]. I've also started articles on some of the sadly-no-longer-with-us indie bands of the late 1990s, such as [[Campag Velocet]] and [[Earl Brutus]]. I did also spend a while fixing the pages relating to the British music charts in the 1990s and 2000s. I've started a lot of stubs about British comic characters, and being interested in [[literature]], [[art]], [[philosophy]] and [[psychology]] means that I've contributed little things to a wide range of articles, from [[Haruki Murakami]] to [[Villanelle]]. I also love patrolling the recent changes page and reverting vandalism; it's very relaxing.

I have been playing the [[guitar]] for around ten years and I am currently learning to play the [[ukulele]]. I love [[malt whisky]], especially from the [[Islay]] region and I'm currently working on a supposedly humorous blog, [http://www.imaginary-review.blogspot.com/ The Imaginary Review]. I invented the word 'apewail', meaning a 'cacophonous noise'.
