Friends, travelling, music, fashion, gigs, festivals, running, cycling, cooking, football, swimming, shopping, reading, photography, family, Nottingham Forest, snowboarding, good restaurants, great bars, warm pubs and service with a smile.......some of my interests shown on photos from recent vacation in Bangkok, Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Singapore.

Right, here's who I DON'T want to meet: LOONS, salad-dodgers, freaks, knuckle-draggers, bunny-boilers, paranoid androids, time-wasters, mingers, those with no self- confidence, no style, no individuality and no pride. Those with too much confidence, losers in the Race of Life, people devoid of humour, people with a chip on their shoulder, people with chips in their teeth, people with chips every day for tea, sloths, Goths and David Lee Roths.And that’s just for starters.I like people who grab Life by the hand, give it a cheeky slap on the butt and say to it, ‘Come on, I’m taking YOU out for once’. People who smile and concentrate on the positives. Tell a joke; ask a question now and again. Think about someone other than themselves just once in a while. People with an edge, people who bring something to the table, people who can enrich and enliven, not dismantle and destroy: You are very welcome. Just leave your gun at the cloakroom.
