In their own words

Not just books on the shelf

Beer-drinking, pool-playing, rugby-watching, shaven-headed, full-bearded tattoo’d ex-librarian ex-pat living in rustic rural France. I love cooking, reading: I have my own bespoke library, history is my favourite. I’m considered witty, intelligent and well-read (the cheques are in the post). I’m a cat fan, passionate yes, ga-ga or goo-goo, no! Little people in furry suits they are not! I have thirteen (yes, 13) most of whom were abandonment or cruelty cases. I’m in the process of starting a boarding cattery and rescue centre in my village. I’m writing a monthly column for Catnip Chronicles, an online cat magazine, my first article appeared in the May 2006 issue under “Maison Miaow”. Looking For: If you’re honest and sincere, and unafraid to tell me if - hah! - when I’m wrong; if you’re compassionate and love animals, especially cats; if you like being out of the kitchen and have a tolerance for dreadful puns, then drop me a line. Moreover, if you can be understanding of the neglectful and patient with the cruel then I need you because I’m not.

Insights
Describe the perfect evening.
I suspect I've already had that when England won the rugby World Cup, I guess what would top that would be them winning it in 2007 and 2011. That was a truly wonderful weekend, what I remember of it! Watching Motorhead ranks high as well...but I guess as a couple, well, Paris is good or Hay-on-Wye! There's different.
How many kids would you like to have?
It was none earlier on in the profile, nothing's happened to change that.
How important is someone's physical appearance to you?
My feet, there's too much of the hobbit about them.
If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
Bye bye, Bush; Bye bye, Bliar; Bye bye, Berlusconi...shazam! Thank you.
What do your friends tease you about the most?
My pool-playing for one...my support of average rugby teams
What gets on your nerves?
The list is endless but it starts with neocon warmongers.
What is the most important thing in a relationship?
Honesty and integrity, patience and tolerance, compassion.
What turns you off?
Any flaws in personal hygiene, so unnecessary nowadays. Bigotry, lies, cruelty.
What turns you on?
Lazy mornings in bed; thunderstorms; long walks in really cold weather knowing how to warm up once home.
What do you hope to be doing five years from now?
Possibly in L'Isle Jourdain, possibly running the cattery, still dressed in black.
