In His Own Words
About him
At a very interesting point in my life at the moment, coming off the final bend, I am endeavoring to bring all the things that I have learnt make me happy into play and cross the distant finishing line laughing.
Is my future all mapped out? No, (fate laughs at our plans) but I'm debt free after 34 years of marriage (amicable split) and can do just about what I like, when I like.
I could.....go to the beach, theatre, park or local bar. Order a pint, bottle of champagne, wine and some tapas. Take it outside and sit in the street watching the world go by. You sit there. Comfy?
"Look at that couple don't they look good together. Love her hair and I really like his shoes. Cool."
Where are you going?
" to tell them".
Oh! OK....
What did they say?
Thank you.
Did that.
I'm a pretty straight forward guy with a good sense of humour. ( Loved "Flea Bag" recently.)
I like to laugh (often at myself!) Generally I try not to sweat the little things. I don't do conflict. Love music.
I am a tactile person and have a great belief in the power of a hug!
Independent, honest, decent and well mannered. Old school values.
It doesn't take much to make me happy. I like the company of people and if they are funny all the better. Witty banter with friends is priceless. I'm interested in people and to know what they think about things. Everybody has a story to tell.
I play walking football (not as docile as you may think), cycle and enjoy walking in the countryside.
I've worked in a lot of industries. Recruited and led successful teams, worked in advertising on Fleet Street but also driven a HGV. I have launched award winning local newspapers and sold them, created recruitment websites and am currently compiling a Forex training course. Comfortable with Princes or paupers. Down to earth. Not dull. No pipe or slippers.
This is a genuine profile. Not click/subscription bait.

About his ideal match
I am looking for someone to have fun with, be that it in an activity or just chilling. Might be nice to fall breathlessly in love though. Gobsmacked by its power. Remember that? I miss the frisson of female company.
So:-
Are you a "good egg"?
Are you light hearted and easy company?
Do you enjoy a good discussion and have a few things to say on certain subjects?
Do you like to be silly sometimes, enjoy laughter and see the funny side of situations?
Do you have an impish side?
Do you like random facts? (Some squirrels are left handed, some right. Nuts innit! )
Can you be zany, a bit daft?
Could we chat and giggle a couple of hours away over a drink?
I think I am a bit of a comedic counter puncher so if you are sparky and quick perhaps we could go a few gentle rounds and see if we can get on the same wave length.
You'll have a serious side, so do I having had to get back on the horse of life a couple of times. It's what makes us resilient, interesting and understanding. Set backs have taught me to live more in the moment. Still have cards to play.
You might be a spontaneous kitchen dancer, I am. Was throwing shapes to The Stones " Can't you hear me knocking?" just this morning. More Doubtfire than Darcey Bussell!
You'll probably have eclectic musical tastes. Still broadening my likes through You Tube. Mazzy Star, Leonard Cohen, Still Corners, Black Keys.
I like being in the company of people who have a knowledge born out of passion for a subject. Enlighten me, show me the joys. I am a good listener.
Could we spend sometime together and perhaps produce that chemical crackle that can be so elusive, that blocks out everything else and makes for special moments?
I believe if you are with the right person you can have fun doing just about anything( Probably not burying your dog!) theatre, walking or getting caught out in the rain.
Even better if you can round it off with a nice meal sat together in front of the woodburner.
I'll put some music on. Would you like a glass of wine? Now what were you saying?
