In His Own Words
About him
Hi there, Ladies. Old Merlin is here. I am firstly an avid dog lover and have been all my life. I have what they call an "invisible disability" in that, although I love the countryside and the great outdoors, sadly, I cannot walk very far. I am interested in all things to do with computers and have self-taught myself to build my own pc's. I am also very interested in camping and caravanning. I have a small 2-berth touring caravan that I purchased last year, with all the "mod cons" installed, but have not had the chance to have a holiday in it so far. I also adore steam/heritage railways and would love to have a nice Sunday lunch on a steam train travelling through the countryside with a lovely lady friend to enjoy it with. My ideal fun/relaxing times I like to spend watching drama, TV shows and action films. Being retired, I find lots to do; my daughter calls me a potterer. I also do a lot of reading and love to collect books and magazines.
About his ideal match
Like most men, I have always had a soft spot for blonde ladies with blue eyes, but I would firstly like to find a best friend to start with and hope to find a lady with most but not all similar interests/hobbies like me. I consider myself a gentleman, always polite and respectful and would love to find the same qualities in my lady friend. I have what I call a stupid SOH, and my most favourite comedian was/is Lee Evans. At first, I come across as very shy, but once the "ice is broken", all is fine.
