Just a Bit about Betty

About Me

I wander around, grazing as peacefully as I may, watching life and participating, from time to time. I am said by those who know me to be a highly intelligent and able pervert - indeed, one of some distinction.I enjoy having a highly-developed sense of the ridiculous, and use my horns to burst balloons of pomposity. The same horns are also useful professionally and on the rare occasions when people wave red rags at me.I am innately curious, but practise it with a degree of circumspection and discretion.

My Interests

The finest of food and wine of whatever kind or ethnicity; the great outdoors; opera; history; sex and travel (frequent invitations, there!); cooking; reading a d*****d good book - and, above all, uninhibited laughter

I'd like to meet:

All sorts of people in and from all sorts of places (no euphemisms, here!)

Music:

Opera, operetta and some classical music. Jazz and swing, but nothing involving electric guitars or the mid-Atlantic castrated wailing which seems to pass for singing, in most quarters.

Movies:

- or "films", as I prefer to call them. Taste as for books. Pyrotechnics and car chases not prerequisites to enjoyment.

Television:

As for films and books. I like "The Simpsons", but loathe advertisements and sports broadcasts or reporting, as well as the interminable and inaccurate weather forecasts

Books:

An eclectic mix. Generally, I like history, historical novels and some thrillers.. Sometimes I like to use my brain: otherwise I just want something to wash over me. I can generally live without Sci-Fi, though I have nothing against it

Heroes:

None!
