In His Own Words
About him
I am an intelligent and well educated individual.
I have worked as a freelance consultant for an international computer company for most of the last 15 years. I am now semi (and possibly fully) retired.
I am well informed generally and adhere to Mark Twain's ideas about remaining silent (or not).
I try to laugh and joke with people at every appropriate opportunity - not always successfully, but I do my best.
I am very patient. I can't recall ever losing my temper. (And I have an excellent memory, which makes me a good team member for anyone who likes a pub quiz).
For the avoidance of doubt, the real me does not share my Online persona's interest in shovel collecting or black pudding. I do though have an interest in precipitation, as it scuppers some of my other interests. 'Ripping Yarns' is available on YouTube.
About his ideal match
I would like to meet a nice woman.
I'm not too picky, just as long as she's kind, intelligent, attractive, thoughtful, practically perfect in every way....
Being a film fan would be nice too.
