In His Own Words

About him

My natural stance on life is pretty laid back, happy to find the good in what life offers, and with an easy sense of humour that a lot of people seem to like. That said, I know how to take centre stage and make things happen when required.
I love my job as a manager with a charity, which while demanding gives me a lot of satisfaction. It also requires a lot of the 'making things happen' above!
I've loved cycling since I was a kid, and my ideal holiday / adventure is booking a ticket to somewhere new and taking it from there.
Music's a big part of my life, and I spend much more time with music on than the TV.
My other main hobby is playing board and cards games, which I've loved since I can remember. The social aspect is the most important for me, and I'm just as happy playing a fun social game where the accent is on laughs than pitting my wits against others in a deep strategy game. To support the hobby. I'm the secretary of the York's largest board / card game club.
I love my two kids. My daughter is in her final year at Uni in Wales, while my son lives with me.
If some of this seems a little too wholegrain, rest assured that I enjoy a beer or two with friends, and do my best (not always successfully) to fend off a chocolate addiction...

About his ideal match

I'm looking for someone with a positive relationship with life, who recognises that while it can throw brickbats at you, it's up to you to do the right things to stay healthy and (with the right attitude) make the most of it.
I see myself as intelligent, and that's something I look for in a potential partner too.
A love of cycling / hill walking / 70s music (glam rock is a personal weakness, and if you love John Martyn I could be in heaven...) would be good.

What His Friends Say

Martin said...

I have known Jim for about 30 years and I still go on holidays with him. What makes him special? Fast and witty conversation, drive and persistence to get things done, appreciation of good things (places, people, music, food, drink). Any challenges? Can be impatient. Sometimes leaves basic maintenance until it's too late (with his bicycles)!
