Hi, I'm Gary, and while I don't remember when this was all fields, I do remember when it was a quaint little village with its own post office, bus service and junior school. I'm quite pleased about the fact that it now also has a Cricket Ground, which goes well with my Project on Cricket at the University of Life.
I used to be a sub-editor, then with the splitting of that function into two parts I became a Scout. Sadly, I don't have so much time any more and have had to step back from volunteer duties, but it's nice to have seen the process from so many angles.
Because of my sub-editing days, the list of "Edited Guide Entries" you might see to the left is rather overstated. The following Guide entries are ones where I was responsible for a significant chunk (>30%) of the original material:
The last link is just so that I can visit some people more easily without having to remember which forum we last spoke on.
Note: this account has no connection with the book of the same name by John O'Farrell, and indeed I've been using this username since 1999, two years before that was published. My legal team have been informed!

Kirsty MacColl
Dec 19, 2000
According to a news report I just heard, the wonderful singer Kirsty MacColl has been killed in a freak swimming accident in Mexico.
She was only 41.

At this time of year, her version of 'Fairytale of New York' (with The Pogues) is played all over Ireland. Christmas shopping won't be the same.
Thank you for the days, Kirsty.
Scout For Hire
Dec 15, 2000
Spent the greater part of last weekend trying to clear the backlog of entries in Peer review which haven't had any reply. It was a very satisfying experience, but quite an effort too. Reading and assessing other people's words about a topic about which you may know nothing can be draining, unless the writing sustains your interest.
So, one tip to would-be authors and one commitment:
TIP: Make your writing full of life but not frenetic, smooth but not dreary - and you'll be picked quickly. Good writing is more important (at least to me) than an inherently interesting topic.
COMMITMENT: If your article has been in Peer review for a week and not yet commented upon, post a reply to this thread: I'll look at it the next time I visit the site and give you my assessment. I can't say fairer than that.
Five Golds in Five Games
Sep 23, 2000
Let's take a moment to reflect on the achievement of Steven Redgrave:
Five gold medals in an unbroken sequence from Los Angeles via Seoul, Barcelona and Atlanta, all the way to Sydney. Remarkable.
Doing all that in a sport based on physical power and endurance. Unique.
Doing it as a diabetic. Unbelievable.
Steve Redgrave. Astonishing human being.
