In His Own Words
About him
Me. At a ripe old age, I have returned to University in Edinburgh to do an MA in Journalism. Go me! It’s fair to say, I will not go on to become the Editor of Marie Claire or the Daily Mail. But I hope to do freelance stuff, writing things about the environment, transport and spoons.
Life has a start, a middle and an end bit. There we go...
About his ideal match
I'm really okay with who you are. Interesting, wonderful people are not well signposted on sites like these. If there is a prejudice I have it is to turn against the bios of the professional ‘daters’ who employ a lot of tired dating-site phraseology. ‘You don’t have to be mad to write here but it helps...ya know.
I employed a dating site cliché once myself. I wrote something about loving to sit at home with a glass of wine in front of an open fire. I added that this was a one-time thing since I lived in a centrally heated property. Boom, boom! Strangely, no deluge of email interest followed.
So what do I look for in you - other than a willingness to put out the fire and save my house? You have intelligence, something not necessarily defined by academic qualifications. You are tough on stupidity and the causes of stupidity. Most importantly, you seek out humour and are funny too. Right now, things look dark across the world. Seeing the funny side is the best way to cope sometimes.
I am equally happy with a night out or a night in. A clever strategy this one since it does rather cover all bases. True, it is somewhat difficult to do both at the same time. But being an ambitious multitasker, I'm up for the challenge.
I don’t want someone who takes themselves too seriously. Not sure what this means, but if this you...well splendid! None of my friends take me seriously. So if you don’t take yourself seriously why not join me to stalk this earth not being taken seriously by anyone! Pure synergy!
You like the simple things in life, like quantum mechanics, finger painting or a barefoot amble along a sunset beach, elegantly raising your arm to catch that whisper of a sea breeze, a glass of wine in your hand. Wonderful! Though if you live in Southend-On-Sea, this picture of bliss may come across as a tad improbable.
Enough of this. No time to waste. Now I am on this site, it is imperative I purchase some Rupert Bear disco trousers. Never to old to shake a leg as Bertie Wooster put it.
