More About Me
Conceived out of wedlock in Eire to R.C. 16y/old and promptly despatched to mainland in disgrace. Orphanage until adopted at three. Worked in City on newspapers/financial journals, founded then sold printing business,taught people with autism, became a butler in London and overseas, building manager, cared for youngsters with life shortening illnesses, ran a pub for a mate. Working as a concierge which is like semi-retirement. Job has afforded me the time to write a novel and to design a range of (fabulous) framed prints and greetings cards. Take on commissions for folks' dogs & racehorses. Very annoying to be interupted by nuisances whom I am forced to welcome into the building with a begrudged yet cheery greeting.
Tolerant, open-minded guy so turn-offs are few, but include dole-scroungers, beetroot, wife-beaters, animal cruelty, Blackpool, "Superiority" based upon wealth, intellect and especially breeding. Julian Clarey, child molesters, any sort of bullies, tattooed names in illegible Old English capitals, McDonalds, L. S. Lowry, plastic cutlery, Prince Charles, non-charitable aristocrats, gang-masters, John McCrirrick, theives, Disloyalty, Red Top Newspapers, Josiah Wedgewood, undeserved Motability scooters, Haribo and any person who is obsequiously servile towards another. Goes without saying that Jeremy Clarkson and the chap who stole my family share No. 1 spot.

More About my Match
Having been conceived in The Emerald Isle and then unceremoniously shipped out like a latter-day leper before I even had the chance to be born (just for not having a father), I have always felt that my true love lies across the Irish Sea. The nuns who sold me on to a couple on the mainland were unhelpful when I tried to trace my birth mother; advising me that she was from Co. Mayo. This didn't help; even with the assistance of a tracing agent. Sorry, I'm rambling on again. The violins will be out in a minute.
The nicest people that I meet never have an inkling how wonderful they are and usually don't believe me when I tell them. Whilst I would be interested in meeting any relatively sane person with good manners, I feel that, in the first instance, I should strike up an email chat with an unassuming person rather than an over-confident lady, as she would offer the greater potential for an exciting romance/successful friendship/ loving soul-mate. I'm a pretty shrewd judge of correspondence, so it wouldn't take me long to know if there was any mileage in us emailing and I'd like to think that you didn't suffer fools either. Before I go, I have a question for you . . . .
Just before my wife left me, I bought her a lovely matching bag and belt set for her birthday. She threw it back in my face. Most women would be delighted with some new parts for their Hoover. Do you agree that she was very ungrateful or do you think that I might be trying to be amusing? This question replaces the intelligence test which was edited out by censors.
Just glancing through my content and must mention that whilst it may be the nearest, the description "Shaved/Bald" does a massive dis-service to my hairstyle. Photo of me in my favourite hat to follow.
