Hello and welcome to my page. I'm expanding it with a few pretty userboxes of, at the moment, a non-polemical nature and having discovered just how cool some of the pictures of the day are that's here too.

I'm a budding amateur on Wikipedia and generally I just correct things that I notice are wrong or read badly when browsing through, e.g. typos. I also add little bits of knowledge where I can and update articles where needed. I also like to have my say in deletion discussions etc.. I'm beginning to branch out into writing articles from scratch but, with over a million on here, I struggle to find things that aren't covered and that I might have a slim chance of understanding were I to research them.

If you disagree with anything I've written then please do say although if there's anything controversial I'll more than likely have written about it on the relevant discussion page. Or you could just write me a note to say hello. You could even write it in a different language to help me expand on my pathetic linguistic ability - I only have it up there to put myself to shame in the hope that I do something about it.


Nadar (born Gaspard-FΓ©lix Tournachon; 5 April 1820 – 20 March 1910) was a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist, balloonist, and proponent of heavier-than-air flight. In 1858, he became the first person to take aerial photographs, and during the Siege of Paris in 1870–71, he established the first airmail service. In 1863, Nadar commissioned the prominent balloonist EugΓ¨ne Godard to construct an enormous balloon, 60 metres (196 ft) high and with a capacity of 6,000 m3 (210,000 ft3), named Le GΓ©ant (The Giant). For publicity, he recreated balloon flights in his studio with his wife, Ernestine, using a rigged-up balloon gondola. This 1862 illustration by HonorΓ© Daumier is titled Nadar Γ©levant la Photographie Γ  la hauteur de l'Art and shows Nadar taking photographs from a balloon basket.Photograph credit: HonorΓ© Daumier; restored by Adam Cuerden

Idea and layout pilfered from Lcarsdata, who took it
from NeilTarrant, who purloined it from A bit iffy,
who half-inched it from Calton, who filched it
from Salsb, who stole it from Guettarda,
who borrowed it from White Cat.

Just a bit of fun... 2006 World Cup

Mmm, an intriguing set of predictions... does my mind really think that this could happen? Of course, any similarities between one of the scorelines here and that of the 1966 World Cup Final are purely coincidental. And somewhat optimistic as well.
