"hiself"??

 Technically it is a correct word ... if you lived over 525 years ago or live in a very rural area.  :-)

Oh!! You just popped back to then with your TARDIS, did you, Your Name??

    "'Hiself' or 'hisself' was used in Middle English
     (before the year 1500, more or less). It is still
     heard in some dialects, and you might encounter
     it in books."
     "'Hiself' is a *common misspelling* . The correct term
     is 'Himself,' used to refer to a male subject
     previously mentioned."

Note the "common MISspelling"!! ;-P One must try to improve oneself!!

Well, Binky could blame Mummy if he wanted to, I suppose.
