Write a blog and bombard people on Twitter with shameless self-promotion.

Wear a hat and use the phrase "a certain je ne sais quoi" as often as possible.

Yeah that's more like it. May also go for a Richard Hingston-esque popping of the collar as well, but I doubt I could stomach that.

Not removing King's College London from your location. Actually remove the London bit and people might be duped into thinking you're at King's College, Cambridge.

Start a self-referential thread in off-topic on a cricket forum.
