I am here for Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a 34 year old guy from the rural east of england, in the heart of Suffolk. I have a passion for all things space and science as the universe and everything in it fascinates me.

I am quite talkative, but hopefully not to the point of annoyance. I like few things more than having a quiet drink and a good chat with friends, both new and old.

I currently work for a small software and environmental consultancy in the sunny town of Hadleigh, Suffolk.

I would describe myself as a Geek, but that doesn't mean I don't like having fun!! I think more people should "embrace the inner geek"

My friends say I have a "Random" sense of humour. I don't know if that's good or bad.

Oh and this year I'm growing my own Chilli's, which are quite hot. I've left one for ages and it's now bright yellow and glows faintly in the ultraviolet.

My Interests

Music, Movies, Science, Reading, Trying to write, History, Music, Having a chit chat, having fun!!!

I'd like to meet:

Einstein, H.P Lovecraft, Elvis, Winston Churchill and Carl Sagan, Anousheh Ansari, Arthur C. Clarke.!!Also, anyone who I can have a conversation with.
