In His Own Words
About him
It's said that most people lie on these things which, if done for a purpose seems to me to be a wanton waste and truly pointless. However, we may still be guilty of solipsistic wishful thinking and so if i now go on to misinform I am truly both unaware and sorry.
If you are looking for someone who thinks a car is a measure of manhood, or that life is full of problems then I'm not a good idea. I believe I could happily share a life in Sainte Marie with Harry the lizard - the murder rate is high but there is a sense of community, the same goes for Lochdubh - I've read over 30 of the Macbeth books and counting with an average of 2 murders a book. The attraction is that the good guys win and with a sense of humanity.
It's quite hard to get an accurate image or idea across - one of my nicknames has been 'Bambi' and for a long time I kept the child's jigsaw given me on my 37th birthday but eventually found a good home for it.
Relaxed and at ease with myself, I would like to meet someone who is also easy going and relatively low maintenance (an occasional dress up bash just for the craic). Someone who likes to laugh, eat, drink, and just be.
I now know that I'll never save the world and only claim to be able to on a good night. Though it doesn't usually look it, there is always a smile close to my eyes; except when watching stuff technically known as 'weepy' - I'm really a sucker for pathos.
Will do all the usual things - better cook than bottlewasher, have had contact with Puccini but keep all pointy toed dancers away, Bob Dylan just wanted to travel around singing; and I'm paying the price for running and jumping around when I could so I'm left with riding my bike - and I head for the hills, nice views.
I'm not a 'traditional' Telegraph reader, more of a Leveller or Digger without the religious fervour and besides the 17th century was a long time ago though mankind hasn't learned much from history.
About his ideal match
Laughter in your eyes and smile and an outlook on life that says that there is another adventure on the horizon. Your natural outfit would be sporty/casual and a spilt glass of red wine can be dealt with!!! Though Rose is preferable.
You'd understand what it is like to watch the red of a morning sky fade whilst getting dressed, the wonder of it and would enjoy talking of it. Times to stand and stare.
Do you like to laugh often, an occasional rant and possibly the odd overindulgence? You never know.
