User:TeekeeyMisha

Studies in history and theology with a CertEd thrown in led to a career in education and the Church. My trundling around Wikipedia reflects other interests too; architecture, art, cinema, literature, music, theatre... I'm also a paid up member of the Grammar Police, with a particular loathing of the "present historic" tense and a burning desire to promote subject – verb agreement.

A place for everything... Misha in 48 little boxes

My heroes

Misha's Pantheon
Who?		When?	What?	Why?
Jesus of Nazareth		c.4AD  – 33AD	Messiah	He's my employer..!
George VI		1895  – 1952	By the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, King; Emperor of India, Defender of the Faith Head of the Commonwealth	An example of duty, service and determination
William Gladstone		1809  – 1898	Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury	Progressive, reforming, accommodating; one of the "three greatest liberals" and Queen Victoria hated him; this is A Good Thing™
Sir Alfred Hitchcock KBE		1899  – 1980	Film Director, writer	Director of so many of my favourite films; Rope, Rear Window, Psycho, The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, To Catch a Thief, Dial M for Murder...
Will Hay		1888  – 1949	Actor and amateur astronomer	A witty and talented comedian from the gentler days of comedy with a very special second string to his bow.
Bishop Edward King		1829  – 1910	By Divine Permission, 63rd Lord Bishop of Lincoln	A wise and good man who radiated holiness; an example of humility and responsible for reintroducing the mitre to the English Church.
Ludwig II		1845  – 1886	King of Bavaria; builder of dreams	A king who cared for his people but also indulged himself in the erection of the most beautiful buildings.
Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens		1869  – 1944	Architect and designer	He used the architecture of yesterday to create the architecture of today; he admitted the importance of function but made it co-exist with, and not replace, form.
Augustus Welby Pugin		1812  – 1852	Architect and designer	He designed beautiful buildings and designed beautiful things to fill them

I take no responsibility at all for creating:

Userboxes

And I definitely didn't create these because I have far more important things to do in my life than creating userboxes (or listening to The Archers. *ahem*)

Where in the world..?

I travelled a bit in my younger days - for better or for worse
"Thanks, but I shan't hurry back..."	"Great for a visit but wouldn't want to live here..."	"I could stay here forever..."

Handy links

This is quite a useful colour list.
This MOS is akin to Holy Scripture.
And this is a handy crib.
