I'm at sea until August so I'll have no Internet for a few months. If you do fancy having a chat leave me a wee message with an email address and I'll get in touch when I can.

My name is Douglas, I'm fairly down to earth, a wee bit old fashioned and still a believer in a bit of good ol' chivalry.

I work overseas which means I get to travel a lot which I love. My job is not exactly normal its nothing crazy but I'd rather not convey it publicly so if you want to know more just send me a wee message and I'll happily explain.

I'm trying this site because I'm at something of a crossroads in life. Previously I've been guilty of putting my career ahead of any romantic exploits and I guess i'm just trying to amend for that now. That being said if I were only to make new friends through this that would be grand. To be entirely honest my job means I am away for extended periods typically 3 to 4 months at a time followed by a few months Rest afterwards which does make maintaining a relaionship quite tricky.

Places I've been: Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Philipinnes, Indonesia, India, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Algeria, Turkey, Nigeria, France, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Jamaica, USA, The Carribean, Canada and that's all that comes to mind- Of those places Singapore, South Korea and Japan were my favourites.

Carrying an entire load of shopping from the car to the house in 1 go.

I'm tall and have a rugby players build, I might seem intimidating but really I'm a big softy at heart.

I'm not usually a big fan of fiction but, i just read through the "Song of Ice and Fire" Trilogy, which was good at first but then went really bad and then things were ok again but suddenly went all bad, they did become good again and then they got really bad etc etc etc....

Usually I prefer reading autobigraphies, things like the Keith Richards and Ozzy Osbourne books are a good laugh and could really only be written by somebody who lived it.

Music wise I'm fairly open minded, I like a lot of Blues, Grunge (more Pearl Jam over Nirvana) Classic Rock and a wee bit of Reggae. Favourite Bands/Musicians (In no specific order): Jeff Beck, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Cream, Sublime, Bob Dylan, Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Focus and Bob Marley to name a few. Also just recently found "pikin' on ...." albums on Spotify - good stuff.

Im a bit of a foodie, I've tried all sorts of crazy things (To my shame I have tried Cat and Dog) in my travels and like trying to emulate them back home (Not Cat and dog though!). My favourite food is Asian - Korean, Indian and Filipino. I guess I should add that I am quite carnivorous - vegetarian food can be good - daal and paneer are awesome but nothing really beats a good steak. I'm also not fussy about organic food, it's just a first world indulgence in my opinion.

My favourite films are classic horrors, to this day the exorcist still gives me the creeps far more than the modern horrors which really lack subtlety. Other than that I'm fairly open minded. I like going to the cinema to see whatever new big and shiny blockbuster is out. Mamma Mia should be banned though....

Spotify, Sonos and Bacon.

Mortality sucks, I wish I was religious and could believe in all that eternal happiness.

As it is however I guess I just need to make the most of things while I can - would hate to be sitting on my deathbed full of regrets. I'd rather go out singing "I did it my way".

At work I'll be on watch and at home I'll be with mates having either a night out or in. A few beers are usually on the cards.

I'm a tiny bit over confident, other than that I'm 100% perfect.

Your a down to earth and interesting girl who fancies a chat, who knows we might just click.

If your photos resemble an oompa loompa impersonating a duck, I probably won't reply, just thought I'd throw that out there.....
