0801NI should like to thank my friend and colleague, Chamberlain Dave Pickup, who
0801Nhas been an invaluable source in the discussion of my inner feelings,
0801Nprompting this article. Long and hard have we moved from digression to
0801Nobscurity, to repressed desires. He is a man who offers both bathos AND
0801Npathos to a scholar like myself. This article is therefore dedicated to the
0801Nmemory of a great man and such a tragic, wasted and futile live. Nobody
0801Ncould have forseen dear Pickups painfull downfall, leading to his pitiful
0801Ndemise into obscurity and herion reliance. I wept and I would be pleased if
0801Nyou did too. Thankyou.

0811Y14C5Y24C1NThe Wiltshire `Floating' Wizard Man seems to have entered into popular
0801Nfolk-lore, mythology within your pages. Suddenly he is being sighted just
0801Nabout everywhere. It's just totally crazy! Are we all mad fools? Loopy?
0801NGa-ga? Off our bonces??? Are we? Or aren't we? Who can really say. Well,
0801Nme actually!
0801N
0811Y11S4Y24S0NWhile it is undoubtable (although nothing is undoutable in our field of post-
0801Nscientific work) that their are some time wasting hoaxters out there just
0801Nfabricating wizard sightings, surely some must be real. The odds that the
0801Ncountry is blowing this whole mystical event out of proportion are a million
0801Nto one, for it is a major happening. This is a major breakthrough for
0801Nexperts such as myself, eho for years have looked for something to believe
0801Nin. I can only conclude that the increased viewings of The F-W-Man indicate
0801Nwe are on the verge of global change! The future is already apon us, even
0801Nas we speak.
0801N
0801NCheeky doubtsters and paranormal mockers amongst you may geer and poo-poo my
0801Nstridently held believe that the Wizard is so much more than just another
0801Ndrivilling story of deranged crazies. For he is so much more. "To float is
0801Nto be", as a far wiser one once said to me. (Wo)Mankind has always delighted
0801Nin that which soars in the sky. The flap of a humble bird can excite us no
0801Nend. The growl of the jumbo jet as it dilly-dallys about our sky. There is
0801Nsomething special about flight than one can just not put ones proverbial
0801Nfinger on fully. To fly is to be free and to float, like a Wizard, is
0801Ntherefore a step in the ascention to the status of flight. The progression
0811Y23C7Y32C1Nof the Wizard Man from `floater' (in the sense of hovering, not in the sense
0801Nof a lump of excrament gliding about a toilet bowl, denieing the flush) to
0801N`flyer' is compareable to a boy or a girl transcending into heaven, gaining
0801Ntheir wings and becoming one of `them.' Isn't it every good boy's dream to
0801None day be a fully fledged angel? Well isn't it. Did not Icarus throw away
0801Nhis pityful existance to delve into the angels domain. This raises another
0801Nmatter of the sun burning one's wings. The attraction of the burning orb,
0801Nblinding noble Icarus with it's powerful, hypnotic, yellow glowing thing was
0801Nhis death warrant. Let us hope that light too does not blind the Wizard.
0801N
0801NHe is indeed something special and, I for one hope his love shines down on us
0801Nfor eternity. Here's to the Wizard and all he represents.
