In His Own Words
About him
Why get to know Dull?
Well, I suppose it could be fun and if not well, what have you lost? You know you'll never see your signing up fee again, so you may as well get your money's worth and gather your rose husks whilst ye may. Just think, paradise could be a few soul jerking one liners (from your self-penned teenage poetry) away. "I'd like to find you in the shower and chase the soap for half an hour" or "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day, you make me wheeze like fresh mown hay" – both work for me. Or for the less adventurous a "send standard response " - if such a cynical thing exists on a site that targets Times readers, Ivorytower inhabitors, Classicfm listeners, Talkingpicturetvtogether watchers, Farmerwantsawife agriculturalists and others drawn into this vortex of matchmaking.
But mostly because I’ll make you think, smile, chuckle, laugh and occasionally guffaw. If you ever feel like having your brain exercised then I’d be happy to take it around the block a few times. And I would expect you to do the same for me. Take it as read that I’m considerate, kind, honest compassionate and passionate, I’ve yet to read a profile in which someone describes themselves as a prolific liar, who hates kissing, is unable to empathise and complains about the smoke from real fires. Although my first priority will always be my daughter, there is room in my heart for someone who will help me wash up and put out the bins.
I have a practical side and can derive almost as much satisfaction from replacing the motor of a Hoover Whirlpool 1000 as going to the cinema. If you already know that the carbon brushes on this particular model wear prematurely causing damage to the commutator, then please email me immediately and we can arrange deeply sensual, candle-lit discussions about servicing domestic appliances.
Oh yes, a good friend of mine (aren’t all quotes on here from “good friends”?) describes me as “reliable and unflakey”, whatever that means. My enemies describe me as “ An %^$&**$ and an absolute %^*£”
About his ideal match
The usual things, such as integrity, honesty, kindness, sensitivity, sensuality and a sense of humour. A sense of fun and an enjoyment of people are also crucial. A delight in life. The preparedness to be chased around the garden or to sit at the kitchen table and construct erotic suggestions with alphabetti spaghetti. There is no other reason for opening a tin of it.
I'd derive my greatest pleasure from making you smile, broadly. Possibly because you've just eaten my food, or because you're amused by some puckish remark I've just made. Maybe you'd smile when I fit new bearings to your washing machine (that's not a euphemism) or surprise you with an unexpected gift from poundland. I love it when people are happy because of me.... and not just because I'm leaving.
I'd like it if you had a sense of adventure and excitement for the new. An ability to understand that different is not necessarily a problem or that normal should not always be the desired objective. A contentment with who you are and an appreciation that on the whole, we are very, very lucky. A passion of some kind, whether it be for your work, or your pastime. One of my hobbies is restoring vintage wirelesses. It's unlikely that you'd have that skill, so if you do have an old Bush that you'd like me to look at, then I'd be happy to oblige.
