In His Own Words
About him
"By their books shall ye know them". I am rather afraid that may be true because it all looks eclectic and somewhat random. Fear not. By profession I am a species of engineer with feet preternaturally bolted to the ground. What better foundation for writing surreal humour? A life lived borne aloft upon the wings of tangents. It is all rather interesting - or I like to think so.
About his ideal match
Man, or woman, is not to be defined by tick box or multiple choice - regardless of the demands of the estimable matching algorithm. There is probably just the one essential: A spirit of curiosity about life, the universe and everything. Beyond that, I look forward to being surprised and delighted.
