My self-summary
l am kind of normal, in a sensible and sane sort of way. l am perfectly happy being properly single.
l am not going to lie, and pretend l go sky-diving mountain-biking or rock-climbing (my life isn't a bodyform commercial). l used to skateboard, but my knees can't take it anymore. And believe it or not I have never DJed once and doubt I ever will (OK, so I used to play guitar in a band a long time ago, I'm allowed one or two cliches right?)
At the moment l like to have my friends around (hopefully for the company and not just the awesome cups of tea and top-class entertainment) and watch tv, a movie, play a game, listen to the radio (radio 4-6), read comics, drink coffee, cook a meal, look out of the window and sleep.
Am l the only person who finds sitting in pubs incredibly boring? House parties are great but night clubs are hell on earth. l don't like snobs (so if you think you're better than other people because you shop at M&S, you're not) double standards and hypocrites.
I like to make small things and l like conversions where l can quote movies. I have my political opinions, and I'm more of a satirist than an activist.
You know, like l said, normal (for a fully grown up adult man who loves Star Wars and comics) in a non-mental way.
Ready for a list? I laugh at; Stewart Lee, Steve Coogan, Josie Long, Rich Hall, Rich Herring, Spinal Tap, Arrested Development ( I like that band too), Archer, South Park, Seinfeld, Gentlemen Broncos, Curb, Him & Her, Rev, and you get the idea. More lists later.
What I’m doing with my life
whatever l want, whenever l want (money and distance permitting).
I’m really good at
Listening, and then remembering what was said (something non of my friends can do) knowing useless things on pointless subjects, self deprecation, and guitar hero. l am pretty entertaining to have around, l think.
The first things people usually notice about me
My mancunian accent, my sweet style, and my sense of irony. Or, just how damn chilled l am / appear to be. l think it is much more important what you leave people thinking of you, than first impresions. l leave my friends with a big smile on their faces
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I have been a geek way longer than it's been cool, so l like all the quality geeky stuff (not avatar, new transformers etc) l would rather share a flat with Sheldon than Leonard. The films l like are: Star Wars OT, Serenity, Eagle vs Shark, Scott Pilgrim, Moon, Kick-Ass (the comic is awesome too), District 9, Mirrormask, Super 8, Eagle vs Shark, Evil Dead, REC 1 and 2, Devils Rejects, almost anything with zombies. And grown ups films too like; the Skin l Live in (in which l live), Submarine, Drive, almost any Coen bros (Intolerable Cruelty is dog turd "Am l wrong?") Shane Meadows. Just saw Sleepwalk With Me which is wonderful, and also saw John Dies At The End and that's like a Christopher.Nolan film with a sense of humour. I recommend you watch them both, when you're done reading all this waffle. .
On TV, l watch drama, comedy documentaries and a quiz show now and then. Dr Who, Misfits, Horizon, Shameless, Being Human, Sherlock,Sons of Anarchy, True Blood (even though It's clearly shit), the Wire (should go without saying), the Shield, the Walking Dead (tv and comic), Luther, Only Connect, Troy and Ahbed in the Morning, the Killing, Breaking Bad, Dexter and on and on I could go.
Too much music for me to remember, let alone list. but if it helps, in no particular order, stuff like; Nick Drake, Smashing Pumpkins, blur, Curtis Mayfield, Stone Roses, Talking Heads, Primal Scream, AC/DC, Loreta Lynn, Beastie Boys, basicly the music played on bbc 6music and the comedy shows of radio 4 and 4 extra. See, it is possible to describe music tastes without using The word "eclectic"
l like to read comics, my favourite writers are Mark Millar, Robert Kirkman and Brian Michael Bendis, Alan Moore is over rated and Frank Miller can't write dialogue. Or non-fiction, Jon Ronson and pop science stuff (l used to work in the nonfiction section of a bookshop, so l know my books) l have never never read or watched any Harry Potter, because magic is cheating.
The six things I could never do without
Telly, - My favourite waste of time. There is alot of snobbery about tv. Which l feel is unjustified. With alot of very well made shows on the air now. Also, is reading a shit book any better than watching shit tv?
Kettle - Have you ever had a kettle break? Its then that you realise what gadgets are most used
Tobacco - because it's more-ish
Crisps - all the flavours. all the crisps. all the crisp flavours.....
Insulin - lve been diabetic since l was 6. So l won't be pinching any of your chocolate or cakes.
Decaffinated coffee - l drink coffee all day long, and used to wonder why l was shaking so much. l switched to decaff, and now l drink coffee all day long without my spine spasming.
l suppose l should put the standard family & friends answer, but l haven't seen any of my family for over seven years (bloody emigrants) and l have managed fine.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
whether people actually go for country walks, or if its just dating site bollocks. Why do people bother writing that they like having fun and laughing, everyone does, nobody doesn't. Whats thinking? Oh yeah, trying to remember what l was just thinking about. Why are fairycakes now called cupcakes? Who would win a fight, Batman or Wolverine? If moths like lights so much why do they only come out at night? What else has that guy been in before? Where is that buzzing coming from? And whats on the other channies? Why did l come into this room again? How stupid, are people? When did spelling ability become a personality trait?
On a typical Friday night I am
Staying in, being loud; it is the new going out. Whatever that means
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I chose to be single a long time ago and now I haven't a clue how to flirt anymore. It just sounds so condescending, and l feel like a total dick if l try. It's a very fine line between romantic and creepy, and I'm not entirely sure which side I fall. So l don't, and l am completely oblivious to it when (on the rare occasions) it happens to me. Go on try it.
It doesn't help that I have a naturally sarcastic sounding voice. No matters how sincere I'm being, it just always comes out sounding like I'm taking the piss.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 23–50
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
If you have seven evil exs that l must defeat in combat before we can be together.
Maybe you'd like to thank me for an awesome recommendation, or even better, you have one for me. Or you want a civilised, yet childish conversation about any of the stuff you just read, in person.
You don't think personality is defined by holiday destinations, or height (I never knew that one was so important to so many of you).
And finally, my obligatory grammatical qualifier: you must know the difference between, to,2, too and two.(do I have to point out that I'm being ironic.... again)

In all seriousness, this whole profile is basically a message and invite to you, to message me with your thoughts. I suck at starting conversation, but give me prod and I'll join in. I hope to hear from you soon.
