In His Own Words
About him
Lessons have been learnt (a phrase that is normally trotted out by the police or social services after an inquiry into a tragedy) in the white knuckle rollercoaster ride that has been my life so far. It’s the application of them that has proved to be so difficult. Now finding myself unexpectedly back on the market, I would describe myself as having had only one previous not very careful lady owner who only ever drove me to the shops via the hamlets of up the wall and despair, with some occasional short trips round the bend. A few dents and scratches have been picked up along the road, but in general the bodywork is in good order. Perhaps an excuse to improve the upholstery would be welcomed. Perfectly suitable as a restoration project in the right hands. A truly classic, (rather than a vintage) model, usually still firing on all cylinders. Sold with an empty boot, rather than one crammed with baggage.
About his ideal match
Life’s experience teaches (or was it the Lord Budda? ) that the most important characteristic in a partner is the gift of forgiveness. So let’s be upfront about this from the get go. She is going to need this quality by the bucket load. I’m forgetful of birthdays and will be late for my own funeral. Supportive and encouraging in equal measure. Preferably possessing a sharp intellect, but not a sharp tongue. The ability to set me off on a train of thought with a simple rejoinder. I would like to undertake some joint venture(s), like learning /being thought how to play bridge. Think of the endless vista that would open up for an evening of unrestrained bickering. Ultimately I would like to build a house together. It is all designed in my head and ready to go, so not on the lookout for architectural skills. But experience in hod carrying…what could be more appealing in a woman? But maybe the wish list is getting a little long… so finally the most important talent of all. The ability to iron French cuffs to perfection.
