In His Own Words
About him
Where do I begin to give a good honest interpretation of myself ?
" The thing about History Teachers, is that they always bring up the past ". Well, so reads the famous text from T shirts sold by those various Made in China online stores, not that I was ever a teacher, but with two children and now four grandchildren to act as a captive audience, how can I NOT explain the Industrial Revolution ? Although I have yet to get around to the new arrival, Barney, now 20 weeks old.
My friends would describe me as ' too intense ', 'too steeped in the past ' - well they would if I had any friends.
I am a loner by choice - I still have a stiletto between my ribs from my mate Jeffrey from 1974 ( not literally, of course ), and if you are familiar with the songs of Simon and Garfunkel, " I am that rock, I am that island ".
However, I am now a widower , so my walk along the canal is done alone, my drive out to local towns is now taken alone, my holidays in the sun, are now Solo holidays, and even my meals in country pubs are done alone. ( well, just ignore that one for now ).
I am looking for a long term relationship with a lady of similar age who can appreciate that she will never be stood up by me preferring to go out with the lads to the match. I do not do sport at all, and I am probably the only man in Christendom who has never seen the 2012 London Olympic opening ceremony. I am just not interested.
I do not do ' soap operas ', ' Traitors ', ' Game of Thrones', ' X Factor ', or any form of ' Celebrity Rat Strangling ', and the only streaming I do is when I get smoke in my eyes, while watching an old film.
I have my house - too big, my garden - too big, my car and my dear cat.
I am however NOT looking to re-live my youth - I am 69, not 19 years, and I am not a love struck teenager, but a pragmatic and quiet individual - a sensitive soul with plenty of time on my hands, and with plenty of places on ' Mappa Mundi ' yet to visit.
Get in contact - I am always open to an affogato, too.
About his ideal match
I am looking for a lady who likes to receive a hug as well as giving one.
A lady who is not afraid to show affection nor emotion.
I am looking for a lady who is looking for a long standing relationship.
I myself have never had what is commonly described as an ' ONS ',
and I am not looking to find one now.
So if you like ' live churning from Wensleydale ', and can appreciate the phrase " gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto ",
then I'm you ' senor '.
