Hi everyone!

I'm ISD, from England. I joined Wikipedia in February 2006, Wikiquote in April 2006, WikiFur (the furry fandom wiki) in June 2006, Wikinews in August 2007 and Wikia Search in January 2008.

Most of the entries I have edited have been connected to my all-time passion, comedy. Indeed the first article I created was related to Green Wing (Guyball). I am the former chairman of the University of Teesside comedy society. You can visit our YouTube page here.

Comedy idols of mine include Chris Morris, Ronnie Barker, Graham Linehan, Arthur Mathews, Matt Groening (particually Futurama), Spike Milligan, Stephen Fry, Peter Cook, Douglas Adams, Tamsin Greig, Harry Hill, Vic and Bob, Ross Noble, Dara Ó Briain, Bill Hicks, Punt and Dennis, Thomas K. Dye and Dave Gorman.

I've also seen several live comic performances. So far I have seen Ross Noble, Jeremy Hardy, Harry Hill, Ben Elton, Dara Ó Briain, Jimmy Carr, Sue Perkins, Robin Ince, Ricky Gervais, Craig Campbell, Rich Hall, The Goodies, Arthur Smith, Punt and Dennis, Simon Amstell, Andrew Maxwell, Marcus Brigstocke, Bill Bailey, Paul Merton, Richard Vranch, Lee Simpson, Suki Webster, Jim Sweeney, Mike McShane, Jo Caulfield, Frankie Boyle, Daniel Kitson, David Johns, Ardal O'Hanlon, Andy Askins, Dave Spikey, Russell Howard, Mark Watson, Greg Fleet, Stewart Lee, Brendon Burns and Arnab Chanda

Apart from that, I've seen a few comic plays, such as The Ghost Train by Dad's Army's Arnold Ridley, The Lavender Hill Mob, based on the famous Ealing Comedy, Steptoe and Son in Murder at Oil Drum Lane, Dad's Army: The Lost Episodes and Much Ado About Nothing starring my personal heroine, Tamsin Greig. I've also been to recordings of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, Genius, Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive and QI.

I'm also a bit of a writer, I've written comic stories for a mobile phone website. I have performed comedy successfully (performing a tribute to QI with some other people) and I've also tried stand-up, but wasn't as successful. I'm also a furry, my fursona is "The Chained Wolf".

I am also a QI Newshound. My job envolves finding quite interesting news stories.

[edit] No Barnstars Please

This user page is a barnstar free zone

I would like it to be known that I do not accept Barnstars. If you wish to thank me, then please leave a message on my talk page.

Thank you.

I would also like to thank Tim! for honouring me. I would like to highlight that he gave me his Barnstar before I displayed the no-Barnstar link. I should have created the link before hand, but I was not aware of the Barnstar's existence before then.
