The pictures may say ‘mean and moody’ but on rare occasions I have been known to smile in-between posing. No photographic evidence of this exists outside of rather embarrassing childhood pictures though. I'm also very tall, which invites comments all the time like, "Are you still growing?" and the immortal, "Bloody hell, you're tall!"

I respect honesty and integrity. The truth is important to me and a somewhat rare thing in this world.

I have a dry and almost irreverent sense of humour, which you may have realised already, but I do try to be charming and *cough* modest enough to pull it off.

I like alternative music (whatever that means these days, basically not chart or bland indie) and can sometimes be found trampled to near death at a noisy, hot, sweaty gig or festival. I’m fond of football, too, but watching Tottenham Hotspur is more like being entertained by several children’s clown entertainers after several pints of snakebite rather than anything resembling sport (STOP PRESS: Not this season!).

I have an acoustic guitar which I have been meaning to master for about nine years. One day I will be able to play something of more artistic and technical merit than the beginning bit of the James Bond theme.

I have an okay job but am looking to find something more creative and fulfilling. What this entails yet I'm still pondering. There is part of me that really wants to travel and see as much of the world as I can. Pesky things like money and home commitments keep getting in the way for now. But that's soon to change...

Conversation and listening. I like a good healthy debate to challenge my views and prevoke thoughtful discussion.

My height! I don't go unnoticed in a crowd. Secondly, my eyes. I get a lot of compliments about them.

I love Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and its sequels (although Mostly Harmless does leave a rather bitter taste behind). The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins was probably the most recent book to blow my tiny little mind.

Musically, I tend to stray more left of field but am open to most things. David Bowie is probably my favourite artist (from Ziggy Stardust to Scary Monsters). If I was to pick a favourite song it would be Musette and Drums by Cocteau Twins. This will change with the weather, though.

If this means material objects then the obvious Green Peace approved answer is, of course, nothing!

The huge mind-boggling expanse of the known universe and the odds of being alive. When you start thinking about how everything was formed, your appreciation of life goes through the roof.

And wondering when Wispa Mint bars will make a comeback.

You want to meet a jolly charming, intelligent and, ahem, modest man.
