In His Own Words
About him
According to my friends I'm kind, considerate, non-judgemental, tolerant, generous and funny!! (Why have I not won a Nobel Prize then?) I enjoy good conversation, all kinds of food, red wine and cold beer on a hot day. I try to make sure I'm at least presentable and don't like stained clothing, dirty teeth, greasy hair etc. When I retired I was certainly not ready to put my feet up so sold my house and bought a boat to cruise the UK coastline. We live in a stunning country and see so little of it. When I'm not working on my boat I enjoy reading, t.v. and host a quiz night once a month so I research new topics and questions. All this is great but it would be lovely to have someone special to share it with.
About his ideal match
My ideal match should have the looks of Claudia Schaffer matched with the brains of Victoria Coren-Mitchell 🤣🤣🤣. On a serious note, I'm sure that if I'm lucky enough to find my match she'll be nothing like any pre-concieved ideas I might have. I think you both know when something 'clicks' and when it happens it often seems to be in the most unusual place and with the most unexpected person. I guess my ideal match would be someone who looks at all aspects of life and love with so open mind.
