The Richard Symonds article is wonderful nonsense. Take a look at its page history, Chase me ladies, I'm the cavalry really is a naughty boy.

The article was created by Yeanold Viskersenn who is either Chase me or a friend of his, Chase me's real name being Richard Symonds. The article contains references to Chase me's real life and some nonsense, all mixed in with genuine content. Chase me obviously knows this but still reverted to the nonsense version.

What a f**king idiot! "I've done nothing wrong but I'm frightened of what's going on on WR." This guy is in the Royal Navy and he's afraid of us over here? C'mon, gang -- if this is what the Royal Navy is made up of, we can invade the UK and have the place sewn up by dawn! (And I claim Epsom Downs for myself!)

What is even funnier is that while he claims to be concerned about his privacy, you can easily find photos of Chase Me at his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/hawkertyphoon (the guy looks like a real goofball -- not what I expected at all).

P.S. I found that by doing a simple Google search of "Chase Me Ladies I'm the Cavalry."

I'd mentioned his myspace page on June 17th, earlier in this thread.

Also worth noting is Chase Me Ladies I'm the Cavalry blocked an alternate account of his old friend Yeanold Viskersenn yesterday.

I guess he's grown up a little from the time when he and Yeanold spent a great deal of time working on the hoax article Tuba_(mythology).
