About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator

A gentleman and a rogue, but more the latter, says I.

I've been told I'm quite the plunger; a fellow who makes a good turnout, don't you know, and leaves cards at the best houses, and is sought by the mamas, and strolls in the Park very languid, and is just a hell of a swell generally.


You are Edgar Allen Poe. You don't like being
ordered around. You don't believe very much
you are told. You feel that if something is
physically out of your control then you should
let it go. You enjoy being alone. People can
anticipate not only what you do but how you
feel as well. You wear your emotions on your
sleeve. You are most looked up to for your
individuality and shamelessness.

My Interests

Wenching (for sport!), getting beastly pissed, horsemanship, learning new languages, and of course, the cricket.

I'd like to meet:

Any young and buxom tart who can appreciate finely groomed cavalry wiskers. As anyone will tell you, put Harry Flashman next to a woman like that, and one of two things is inevitable -- there will either be screams and slaps, or the lady will surrender. Sometimes both.

Oh, and Scarlet of course. Take a gander at yon saucy minx, and I think you'll agree....

Music:

My own idea of theatrical entertainment, I admit, is the music-hall; strapping wenches and low commedians are my line, and your fine drama and music bore me to death. So I found "The Barber of Seville" a complete fag: fat Italians screeching, and not a word to be understood.

As for popular song I particularly like "Drink, Puppy, Drink" and "The British Grenadiers," but play "Garryowen" and you'll soon regret it.

Movies:

Royal Flash, Gunga Din, Zulu!, The Bond Films, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Birth of a Nation, The Four Feathers,

Television:

Coupling, National Geographic Explorer, The History Channel

Books:

Tom Brown's School Days, anything by De Sade

Back home from holiday in China...

A little touch of Flashy in the night goes a long way with some women; then again, there are those who can't wait to play another fixture, and so ad infinitum.  I suppose I should be grateful tha...

What a weekend...

You may think me crude. I was. But I saved time and trouble, and perhaps money, too - the money that fools waste in paying court with presents before the fun begins. She had wine in the house, and we ...

I'm foxed!

I was in a state of excitement that I could barely keep my hands still while she dismissed her maid and conducted me to her salon, talking gaily about anything and acting the cool minx. I soon put a s...

Nothing better than obedient peasants and schnapps!

After providing me with dry clothes the other night, they presented me with a flask of schnapps, and I sent half of it down my throat at once, and felt the firey warmth running back along my limbs.&nb...

A wise investment for any punter abroad and with a bad case of the horn.

Her name was Fetnab, and I bought her (not officially, of course, although it amounted to the same thing) from a merchant whose livestock consisted of wenches for the British officers and civilian res...
