Timmy Mallett beaten up by Southampton students

Where on Earth did this story come from? It's discussed nowhere else, and Southampton students are too soft to deck him. I'm going to remove it, as it looks like a load of guff Melaena (talk) 21:33, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this - brings back horrible memories ;) Secretlondon 02:59, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

According to Keble College, Oxford, it's a myth that Mallett was there. Is there any evidence for the claim that he was? --Phronima 11:46, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot find any reference to Timmy Mallett at the BBC Radio Berkshire page - should this item be removed?

He went to Warwick UNi - he never went to OXford and never studied at Keble. Robsteadman 08:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK - as an Keble old boy I have done a search on the Alumnus website - and no T. Mallett tuns up - tried other spellings, etc. but nothing. I think we can safely say he was not a student at Keble. Robsteadman 16:15, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Though wouldn't the fact that he dropped out of his master's degree mean that he wouldn't be listed, even if he went there? - Green Tentacle 16:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a bit of research and these three pages all say Timmy Mallett went to Oxford. - Green Tentacle 17:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is Timmy Mallett his real name? And what did he study at warwick/oxford?

Yes, Timmy (or presumably Timothy) Mallett is his real name. Apparently, Mallett (note the different spelling to the hammer) is one of the few names that can be traced directly back to the Norman Conquest (my WAC Annual 1987 told me that!). He studied History at uni, as stated in the article. - Green Tentacle 00:32, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

University of Warwick: Timmy certainly went to the University of Warwick and read History 1974-1977 because so did I and I knew him: a very nice chap, and no doubt still very nice but rather richer. He is probably Warwick's most famous alumnus! (Cambridge had Darwin and Newton and just a few other famous ones...Warwick had Timmy. Oh and Simon Mayo ;-)) And the woman who used to be the BBC royal reporter.

Dude, where's my mallet?

This is a joke, right? Good one though ;-) See a Google search for no traces of the title on the web. - Chris Wood 20:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

I kind of feel like the schoolyard tell-tale here.

...CATS?!

I searched for "Bombalurina" (a character from the musical CATS) and it redirected to this. What's the deal?! Lycanthrope777 05:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A late reply, but here you go: 'Bombalurina' was also the name of Timmy Mallett's band. I have converted the Bombalurina page into a disambiguation page linking to Bombalurina (cat) and Timmy Mallett. - Green Tentacle 16:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trailist

"Timmy was a trailist on The Match in 2006."
What on earth is a "trailist"?

Who are Jon Horton & Joseph Chare?

Who are these people? They do not have WikiPedia entries. Are they 'notable'? Goole finds nothing that connects them to Mallett or Hyde Grammar School -- BrokenStar 10:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why??

"Mallett, whose parents now live in Penrith, Cumbria, "

I'm sure I'd like to pay Mr and Mrs Mallett a visit, but I don't see why this info would be useful otherwise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommyhaych (talk • contribs) 15:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kidnapping them might give you leverage to lure Mallett into the open, where a swift sniper bullet can settle matters. Optimus Sledge (talk) 20:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strachan and Mallett related

This entry about Michaela Strachan and Timmy Mallett being brother and sister needs some careful investigation. It is not mentioned in any of the Google searches that link them through the Wacaday connection. All that comes up is our wikipedia articles and a few blog mentions (but they seem to have got the information from wikipedia and express surprise at the information). It should also be noted that Strachan has a pronounced London (or Southern) accent and Mallett is an inveterate Mancunian. I am deleting the mention from both articles until reputable sources and refernces can be provided. I am not saying it is untruth, it may well be kosher, but we need proof as per wp:blp 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 21:38, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Height

How tall is Timmy? It doesn't seem to say on Google but he looks bloody small on some pictures I've seen...Anyone know? 86.161.3.8 (talk) 23:23, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can see him, he's still too tall.
