Little apprehensive, but come what may...

Interests - Sports, Music, Reading, Travelling, Photography, Film yade' yade' yada.

Reckon I'm allowed to be positive at this junctour so here goes! With a little work and on a good day (Note good day!) I can tick the tall, dark and handsome box!

I'm a decent guy to be around and have always tried to put family and mates before myself. Rightly or wrongly my job too, and so I find myself here... I've bounced around a bit in the last 5 years or so via the ex-pat bubbles of Singapore and New York but happy to have settled back into London life.

My nan always said to me you can't fail to impress the women so long as you wear a smart pair of shoes, if only it were that easy!

Food - All kinds, nature of the job means I constantly snack though. Big fan of the Italian and Spanish approach of eating and drinking. Spent a long time in SE Asia so partial to a nice spicy dish. Can't go wrong with a good old pub roast, fish & chips or a home-cooked. My mum is Swedish so it brings something else to the table, literally.

•How many smiley faces are acceptable in one text message?

•Work (Sad I know, I try not to bring it home though)

•10'000 hours of quality practise.

•What Bill Murrey said to Scarlett Johanson at the end of 'Lost in Translation.'

Picking up tennis balls!

Apparently being a tennis coach gives you a free pass and instant access to bored housewives, this is not the case! That said, I won't lie it has crossed my mind, and I know one or two people that have taken full advantage! Maybe if I'd used my position a little more wisely I could be talking about the 2000 woman I've slept with! This again is sadly not the case!

You've gone to the trouble of reading all this nonsense then why not fire off a few words :0)
