My cats, my hot water bottle, a good book, my car - freedom! Chocolate and tea.

How to make myself immortal.

Why nearly all of the profiles I look at have the Dating Persona Test result of the Boy Next Door.

I'm not a pub/club person - you're more likely to find me at home entertaining myself. Either that or at work unfortunately.

I once went to a Billy Ray Cyrus concert.

You can hold a conversation and you're a gentleman with an adventurous streak.

You're a little bit out of the ordinary and don't follow the herd.
