In His Own Words
About him
I am the man in 'Desiderata,' going placidly amid the noise and haste of SW17, entering action with boldness, while proceeding with caution. I am the 'Boo Radley,' looking after people silently, un-noticed although they are unaware of this, until later, or maybe never. It matters not. I am Teutonic by nature but Celtic by nurture and can utilise the best of both worlds. Incorrigible and undetterable, I force my experimental drinks on my friends who baulk, but all come back for more. A reflection on life is that it can resemble the fates of Sisyphus and Tantalus with the rare appearance of The Minotaur. I've met him 3 times and look forward to next time. It's good to be challenged, essential actually. I will probably challenge you, but when I find you, who I seek, I'll cherish and adore you and bring you Heaven on Earth (with the small exception of buying flowers). I believe everything that Winston Churchill and Oscar Wilde said was Gospel.
We will not thrive unless we enjoy each other's company so if you have enjoyed reading this then it's a good start. If not, then try reading it again another day.

About his ideal match
Sensitive and sensual with an infinite reserve of patience. Shared values to my own but complementary skills so that the collective exceeds the sum of the parts. A strong sense of vocation, natural justice and civic mindedness. Enjoys exploring interesting places, especially if those with vineyards and World Heritage sites.
Self centred precious princesses need not apply.
