At my age I should know better really, but I still like to consider myself a free-thinker and a bit of a free spirit. The rest of this profile should fill in the gaps...Create or get your

Hitchhiking, music (see above and below), football (Sheffield United- I think I may've mentioned this already), cricket (Ian Botham- 118 v Australia, Old Trafford 1981, I was there), Stonehenge, writing (there's a book already, folks, check out Fever Hitch on Amazon), public speaking (available for after-dinner speeches- 23 years of hitchhiking and still going strong, and I'm cheap)... that'll do for now.
Anybody and everybody, although if you support Sheffield United, love Cardiacs, Yes, Gong, King Crimson etc, and are young (ie- younger than me, which ain't hard- 41 at time of writing), female and attractive, well, all those things may move you higher up the priority list.
