Your Notes
Edit your notesI am Sleepy, Bashful, and Dopey.
My Self-Summary
For a moment there I almost wrote a "sporty, intelligent guy with
good sense of humour" profile. But that's everyone (apparently), so
instead, here's most of what you need to know about me...
Arthur Ransome, not Ellen Macarthur
Spandex, not bling
Stephen Fry not Screech
Bees not wasps
Crosswords not sudoku
Fun run not marathon
Eat to live not live to eat
Work to live not live to work
Pub not club
Theatre not opera
Do/Learn not spectate
Mitchell & Webb not Michael McIntyre
I'm pretty easy to please. I like lots of things, will try new things to find out, and even if I don't like them, would rather do something I don't like than nothing at all. Unless it involves wasps/opera as above.

What I’m doing with my life
Trying to find the last piece of the jigsaw under the sofa.
And then, planning to tip the whole jigsaw out again and start from the beginning. I suspect I may be one of those two sided jigsaws which are quite complicated and can be solved two ways.

I’m really good at
I'm really good at nothing.
I'm pretty good at most things.
This comes partially as a result of a desire to be continually doing or learning something, with an inherent laziness that insists that whatever I'm doing should take place within a two mile radius, and require no more than half an hour preparation. At present I live 500 yards from a tennis club, hence tennis is the order of the day. Should the tennis club be converted into a tai chi and yoga centre, then this will become my hobby of choice. Consequently, you can be pretty much guaranteed that if you like outdoorsy type hobbies, I will either do it, or want to learn it, with the added advantage of not being quite as good at is as you.
However I'm also quite competitive. I won't be 'not quite as good at it as you' for long...
I'm rubbish at football.

The first things people usually notice about me
I would like to write 'my steely blue eyes'. It's probably true,
but while in my head this sounds like the description of a sea
captain in some boys-own WW2 story, it probably sounds more like
the improbable hero of a Mills and Boone romance.
How about 'eyes that can traumatise children and hypnotise cats'? Hmm no, that's probably not great either.
OK, to summarise, people usually notice my eyes. Then the fact that my hair is thinning, but not quite enough to look as good as Patrick Stewart.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food
The box isn't big enough for books and movies. I don't have a
favourite and couldn't pick one if you gave me a week. Food is
simpler - anything but peas/beans.
More fundamentally however, I don't want to be pigeon-holed according to my tastes. I appreciate intelligence, style, wit, thrills, emotion and beauty, and don't care where I get them. From Beethoven to AC/DC, Dickens to Douglas Adams, The Shawshank Redemption to Groundhog Day.
I do, however, believe that there is so much greatness in the past 500 years of the arts, that there is little point in sifting through the mediocrity of modern music to find a hidden gem. So my strategy is to wait 5 years, and anything that has stood the test of time qualifies for consideration. But keen to be challenged on this, like everything else.

The six things I could never do without
Sleep
Tea
Toothbrush/paste (can I count that as one? Turns out it doesn't matter because I can't think of anything else)
Contact lenses (thanks to whoever's profile I copied that from)

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Potential answers to questions that I might get asked should I
feature in a future series of blind date.
Why Zwinky is blue, and has no nose, but is nevertheless quite cute. Is this as a result of some childhood 'nurture' effect from watching the Smurfs?

On a typical Friday night I am
Trying not to fall asleep, often on a treadmill. Where's the
question about Saturday?
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Is this like the job interview question 'what's your worst trait'
when the answer is 'I can get so focused on my job that sometimes I
forget to sleep for days' or similar?
How about 'I can be so passionate that the local paramedic unit has asked me to screen potential girlfriends for general fitness and any history of cardiac problems?'.

You should message me if
a) you're maybe interested
b) you have a really great idea for the weekend, but all your mates are busy.
c) You don't live in any of the postal districts from which I'm the subject of an exclusion order
