In His Own Words

About him

We are all inclined to say that writing about onesself in these circumstances is not easy.I am no different but I might just twitter on once I get going....be warned!

My education background is rather unusual: An eleven plus failure who studied chemistry a "year late" and gained a very average 2:1.It was a UCL degree at a London polytechnic.I did an MBA via distance learning and over five years ,late 80's,early 90's.Latterly I managed the analytical chemistry products department in the major UK and international firm supplying laboratories.I have been reitired for a decade.

My interests are many and varied.I am a past Rotarian ,past president of my club and very active in Rotary throughout the East Midlands.I resigned two years ago for reasons that would not be fully understood by a non Rotarian.I am a keen walker and that takes me out ,booted up, about weekly with a crowd of up to twenty five.
Music has been an enduring interest since my teens.I used to play the cello, can read a simple score and enjoy an enormous record collection and regular concert attendance.More recently I have joined a quiz group and have developed an interest in church/cathedral architecture.

All that makes me seem just too serious for a happy,bubbly lady.I am not .My humour is described as impish and I have a near permanent twinkle in my eye.I am a good listener ,can embrace the interests of others but rule out knitting and line dancing! I know I can be pedantic,I call it accuracy.

About his ideal match

A lady who is old enough to know better but still smiles at the prospect .If you want an elaboration of that we will have to chat(at least) ! Also someone who has a present or past career and most probably a graduate. .

A sense of humour and ability never to take themselves or life's situations too seriously is important.

She need not have interests identical to my own as I could embrace almost any interests dissimilar to my own except line dancing and knitting(never done either and never intend too). However if you walk other than with a dog that would be good (I am not against dogs!!).Walking is a very good way to get to know each other. A smart and appropriate dresser... yes.

With that said we would know if the chemistry is there on meeting. I might not fit any of your ideas but we still might click.
