In His Own Words
About him
Living in China I greet you with Ni hao
So can't drop everything just right now.
I have had to postpone my return far east
So we could have a coffee at least.
Lived in Europe for 7 years.
TEFL over there, MFL over here.
Capernwray in English was really great
in Germany, as my Deutsch was half-baked.
Strasbourg, Lake Konstanz, Milano
Were interesting times, you know..
I do enjoy a yodel or Neapolitan traditional
Having lived in Italy I find it just subliminal.
Sell yourself!, be a go-getter, no couch-potatoes here,
Nights in sitting by the telly with a glass of beer?
Or maybe just a DVD, cos I'm "too tired, dear".
Veggie, Green, true Blue or Red, I'm just colour blind,
Eat whatever's on the plate. I usually don't mind.
By the way, I can drop everything and say howdy,
As I have just finished working in Saudi.
Solvent, male N/S with GSOH
Look forward to hearing from you about a first date.
How about this for a plethora of adjectives:
Warm, friendly, sociable, enthusiastic, positive,
Thoughtful, fun to be with, outgoing and considerate,
An amusing laugh a minute. Neither stubborn I nor obdurate.
I'm a "really nice chap", easy-going, very kind,
Superlatives only will do when you have me in mind.
I hope I'm not big-headed, arrogant or very rude!
A sensible, mature, otherwise "cool dude".
Considerate and genuinely caring all the time?
Better ask my better half about that line.
Bright, friendly, effervescent? What more can we say?
Not manically depressed or worried at the moment, anyway.
Everybody wants someone who makes them laugh out loud,
But if I'm not a laugh a minute you will not be wowed.
Let's meet for a coffee, no one objects to that.
If GSOH I just don't get, conversation may be flat.
Not permanently got a glass of something in my hand,
Don't do much drink, but in the family it isn't banned.
Church is important. I hope you think so too.
About his ideal match
She's not permanently got a glass of something in her hand,
With an irritating photo in a pub that should be banned.
Hopefully she's a bundle of fun
Helping us both to stay feeling young.
She'll have a warm smile, and an infectious laugh
That doesn't sound forced. Looking for another half?
She may know Europe and enjoy some travel
Camping or 5 star hotel? What we had won't unravel.
Someone who's not too difficult to catch,
And so extremely fussy we'll never be a match.
Near the Yorkshire Dales she may be hanging out.
It's very pleasant here to get out and about.
Of course there's theatre and cinema,
But not that essential. Does she have a car?
Does she have a house, or two or three?
One of us may hit the jackpot, surely.
If she can run 5km in under 25
She will be beating me, and I won't be surprised.
Currently that is my personal best,
In case you were wondering, it was not in jest.
She may go to church some of the time.
Perhaps we are both past our prime.
I think we'll just have to wait and see
Who clicks on this profile and finds it witty.
Una ragazza sportiva
Che parla qualche lingua
A te piace in Europa viaggiare?
Con un caffe da qualche parte
Possiamo cominciare.
Sprichst du Deutsch?
Das wäre auch nicht schlimm.
Au revoir, à bientôt
J'attends de toi un petit mot.
