In His Own Words
About him
After a long time away, moved to Troon, a few miles from where I grew up. "Grew up" physically, at least - of all the people I've met in my life, one or two of them might actually be grown up; as one who's still a rock star at heart, I doubt if I'm more than 50% there yet - Quick update: I might be still maturing since first writing, I'm actually starting to feel like a grown-up, and "fun" is starting to shift just a little in meaning.
I'm an engineer, I've spent most of my work life on medical kit. Love the word "inventor" - I still think Caractacus Potts is a good character aspiration (and I really do get to tell people that what I do is "all a bit hush hush").
I also love playing electric guitar with others or in my bedroom. Don't have the hairbrush mic, but still love those early glam/ punk nut-job images I was exposed to as a child.
So music's a big thing for me, all pop and very little else but perfectly happy to listen to new stuff.
Also: not that a woman of the kind of immense depth required to date moi would care about such frippery, but just FYI: the Shane McGowan look (missing crown in my photo) is being fixed. Also: I love south west France, can manage toddler-level French, and more recently, love Arizona after a family trip to Sedona.
About his ideal match
It's the deep stuff, the light stuff, the stupid stuff; there is no formula for this - looks? personality type? - could be a machine gun princess who exudes rock n roll spirit, or a truly delicate wallflower, wandering through the spires while dreaming of rock chicory with her buns, I just need that sense that emotional trust might grow here (although my magical SHE is probably left-ish or centrist).
My idea of shared fun includes things like walks in nice places (often near water), exploring and finding new places, nice food, gigs, movies (Kieslowski-ish or decent rubbish), talking utter drivel.
Teletubic Telepathy would be nice, but failing the ability to mind read, more connecting and less misunderstanding might be a start, and not needing to be around each other all the time, but each thinking of the other when it's been too long.
GSOH (WTFDTM?) Someone who can tolerate stuff like this:
A horse walks into a bar. The barman suggests the beer of the day, and the snooty horse says "I think not", then disappears in a puff of logic. At this point, any philosophy students listening will be smugly giggling at the reference to "I think therefore I am". But you shouldn't spell it out, because that would be the horse leading Descartes.
