Welcome to my Stumble Upon Page

I like mail, and I will probably say hello, all things being equal.

Please feel free to say something, no seriously you're already online and it costs nothing but time, and believe me I value that, and in the end time is all we have. Precious time, then death. What can I say - hey you're already special to me.

Opinions. Those in "quotes" belong to other people. Same goes for facts. They are here because they are interesting. At least to me. Not always because I necessarily agree with them. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

Answers. I don't have all the answers. I like to think I have a lot of answers, answers that work for me, but they're probably not for you; like I said, they're mine.

Comment. If I have something to say - and on occasion I feel like saying something, so I do.


About me

(Skim readers and fast click stumble button slingers will probably miss this bit - and why shouldn't they, I probably would if I was you.)

Since you've been asking, single, no children, no ties.

I'm good at... compliments, shopping, second guessing plots lines, eating apples in their entirety, reading books, writing, talking, being the centre of attention, and lifting heavy objects.

The first things people usually notice about me... I'm shaped like a triangle. Broad shoulders - narrow hips, jackets never fit me unless they are tailored. My penchant for hats, and fast cars.

On a typical Friday night... I don't have a typical Friday night, doing something dangerous I suppose, involving hats and fast cars probably

Remember : my awesomeness is only surpassed by my humility; while my manners and charm may dazzle, they generally hide the fact I am actually quite dangerous.


Finally a warning; if you choose to be ignorant, insulting or just banal then I will block you in a heartbeat.
Seriously some words, so far I've blocked a handful of people; spamming. always. being a tosser, don't flame me, you'll just get zero response save being blocked. Reviewing a third party page using the 'testimonial' review of my blog. I hate that.
