In His Own Words

About him

Full Time School Librarian, Part Time Army Cadet Instructor. Once you start working with young people, you can't imagine doing anything else, even if some of them are little Sh*ts. Ten years number crunching behind a corporatIe desk was way too much for me. It does mean that once a month or so I chuck a Bergan in the boot of the car and come back tired and smelly a few days later.
Passionate reader, discovered Terry Pratchet while he was still on his third book and relatively unknown. Tried some of the classics, didn't get on well with them. Plodding through "Game of Thrones" at the moment. Can talk about books for young people rather too much. Don't ask me about the Carnegie Shortlist... Used to be an avid hillwalker in my Yorkshire days.
Recovering Depressive (long story) and can occasionaly stick my headphones on and be downright antisocial. I like to have conversations rather than being talked at. Don't like politicians, all a bunch of Liars if you ask me.
Tried putting on an act and being someone else for far to long, didn't work. Now I am just me, take me as I am, sorry.
I get up at 6am during the week, and like lie in at the weekend, preferably with someone who doesn't snore or fidget.
I love cooking, collected recipe books for many years and hardly used them. Now I use them a lot. A firm believer in "stress relief by cake". Not so good at washing up. Sometimes I just cannot be arsed with cooking though, and it's time to order a takeaway or go out ;) Don't like Merlot much, but do like Rioja and Syrah.
I have this weird theory that Life is a series of small perfect moments, spread out amongst the humdrum. Like watching the sunset in Olu Deniz, or stepping out on to a nightime balcony in Tunisia and smelling the desert
Need to find some pictures for the gallery without hats/uniforms/sunglasses (and that don't show the double chin).
Well, did you get this far without hitting "Hide" or "Block? Then you might just be crazier than I

About his ideal match

Looking for someone who can accept me, quirks and all :). Sense of humour? of course, who wants a misery guts?
Someone who knows when to talk and when to listen...
You need to be prepared to put up with my cooking and like home made cake.
And despite having a realy boring one myself, a catchy username always piques my interest, especialy if it is a literary pun.
I understand there are all these codewords for dating sites, forget it, lifes too short - plain English please.
...and please, no more scammers. I am not the "Nice Englishman" you are looking for and will not send money for a plane ticket, passport, visa or hospital bill ;)
