More About Me
I am a retired complaints investigator, which was more interesting than it sounds. In one morning I took over and dealt with an escalated (shouting) phone call, and had to return a call to a threatened suicide.
The trick was, to get both relaxed and laughing by the end of the call.
- I’m really good at ...
Music was my first love. (-Hey, good idea for a lyric!)
I've played guitar since I was 15, and like to compose and record my own music, when I have the time.
I've had my first two books published (one non-fiction, one fiction).
I'm getting notes together for the next about the birth of life and the development of civilisation on this planet. But I intend to take a wacky look at it, and try to get humour into everything. It might end up as a novel.
And lastly, I'm looking for the secret of existence, and the universe. And I _will_ find it.
- My favorite books, movies, music, and food ....

"A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson

Time to create
A little later...
Please, if you're going to contact me then write me a proper note.
Don't just click the "Hello", "Hi there.", or "Want to meet" button.
And if you really want to get my attention then answer this question:
If, as Shakespeare believed, all forms of love come from a single source....
Where does love truly come from?
- John
More About my Match
- What am I looking for in a woman?
Curiosity, daring, non-conformism, intellectual stimulation.
(We don't need to mention the rest do we ;-)
I need someone who will explore a castle with me, walk hand-in-hand through the countryside, discuss the shape of the universe, get excited at Christmas crackers, cuddle up in the evening and pretend no-one else exists in the world except us two.
I am not looking for:
A soap-watcher, a boozer, a time-waster, a flirt.
I'm just looking for my equal, my soul-mate, my destiny.
(-I can't believe I just wrote that.)
I hope you haven't been put off - Write anyway... Seriously, everyone needs mates!
