Hi,

Hello there. My name is Neal and I'm now 57 years young, (Scorpio) in a relationship with The Doctor. I am male, sometimes paranoic, sensitive and currently festering in London...well, Brentford really.

My 42 is 2 * (3 + 6) + 7 + 7 + 4. Et Voila, 42!

My speciality is Natural History, especially birds. I love anything relating to it, geography, history and science. I am into reading, particularly Science Faction smiley - ufo and fantasy. smiley - elf I enjoy folk-music smiley - weirdand fiddle-playing. I have two identical Red/Black Bridge Electric violins (see http://bridgeinstruments.com.) smiley - rainbow (It's a very long story!)and 2 conventional ones. I also enjoy anything to do with Celtic and English Folklore.

I am currently out of work after my fixed term contract expired. I had been working in the Royal Courts of Justice as a Bankruptcy Clerk for 10 months. I really enjoyed that and miss it. Prior to that I was a 'Partner' working in a Department Store in Chelsea, London. My company also includes a Supermarket chain as well, and is easily recognised by its green livery and catchy strapline. I used to work in the Audio and TV department, so I can help on some technical questions. After that I worked in a unified Call-Centre which the Company called a Customer Enquiries centre, so I can also help on most questions retail-based! I had 24 years service in total, before the position became redundant. (I'd get less for smiley - winkeye murder)

The Quite Interesting Society

I am also an avid King Arthur fan, smiley - okrunning at approximately 70 books, and increasing. (collected not written...I wish I had the time...)

Keen on the environment smiley - bunnyand all things to do with Natural History. smiley - footprints I regularly visit WWT London Wetland Centre, although I am not a twitcher. smiley - biggrinI do know the difference between a sparrow and a swan, as I've never seen a swan on a bird-table.(ps, London Wetlands comes highly recommended.)

I enjoy films, real ale smiley - ale(surprise, surprise) and conversation. Music tastes are mixed and many, currently enjoying light-classical and folk. Sports interests are International Rugby, Tour de France, and GP, again watching, not participating.

I am also very keen on Cookery, although I don't do as much as I should as I make too much which means waste. I particularly like Curries etc, home-made from the original spices, but have been known to cheat. smiley - winkeye

Please contact me for an exchange of recipes, good, bad or indifferent. Do stop by and try.

I am not greatly keen on chocolate smiley - choc, sweets smiley - toffeeappleor desserts smiley - cheesecake. smiley - yuk but I'll leave some here...smiley - chocsmiley - toffeeapplesmiley - cheesecake all washed down with smiley - bubbly as I'm a friendly chap smiley - smiley

I also have a slight problem with modern music. Getting old? Probably. I enjoy cycling although have only just got a new bike. I am not very sporting, and have a great aversion to Football. (Does darts count as a sport??)

Stop a while and have an smiley - ale or two and a chat

Leave me a message if you need to contact me.

MMF - Keeper of Mustelids, with added P.M.A., is now in a relationship.
