In His Own Words
About him
There I was, checking my email and wondering why so many dodgy businessmen seem to hold me in such high esteem, when an email landed in my inbox advertising an online matchmaker system.
Eureka as some old Greek bloke once said - Just what I'm looking for
Happily divorced, and no longer bearing the scars, I felt it was time to get on with my life - In fact I was nearly arrested for baring them in WH Smith last year - They'll never print the photos in Boots!
But, I digress. There I've admitted it. I DO digress. I've told you now and I'm glad I told you. Glad!!!
After a quick rummage through the more obscure recesses of my brain (there's nothing like a good rummage to set you up for the day), I decided to fill in my profile.
But seriously folks..................
I'm 64, divorced with two grown up daughters. All original parts (with one exception and I'll leave you to guess which).
I like to think I've got a warm personality, hence the infra-red portrait.
I'm fairly young at heart - Happy to head to the cinema to see the latest Pixar or to climb on board a roller coaster, the higher and faster the better.
Work wise I started out as a research physicist, moved into systems engineering and ended up in Business Development.
I enjoy travelling and I've been to well over 20 countries so far.
I like most genres of music, rock, classical, country, opera, jazz, soul and even the odd bit of reggae.
So if you're interested in saying hi, or even meeting up, please drop me a line (sound effect of a descending whistle followed by a spash), send me a carrier aardvark or a message via the website.
(Why aardvark I hear you ask - Well, they're very friendly creatures. As the old saying goes, Aardvarks never killed anybody)
Gotta go.
My best to you and yours
My second best to them and theirs
The rest to be divided amongst the needy of Surrey
I remain, at least until I can escape,

About his ideal match
How would I describe my ideal partner...........?
Attraction is a bit like fine art - Very difficult to define but easy to recognise.
I'd like to meet someone roughly the same age as me, give or take a few years. Ideally someone young at heart who doesn't take life too seriously.
Someone intelligent and open minded, although that doesn't necessarily mean highly educated. Someone who can think for herself rather than follow the crowd. They say a mind is like a parachute - It doesn't work properly unless it's open. If you can look at a sunset and simultaneously admire its beauty and wonder why it's red rather than any other colour then we probably think in similar ways. If you know why it's red even better.
Someone normal looking - You don't have to be drop dead gorgeous as a lot of beauty comes from within. A nice smile and a friendly personality goes a long way. Having said that if you are drop dead gorgeous that certainly doesn't exclude you.
Someone who could appreciate my cooking. I'd never win Masterchef but my roast potatoes are legendary, my yorkies always rise and I can knock up a pretty good cake. It's no fun cooking for one.
They say the eyes are the windows of the soul, and nice eyes are a bonus. Double glazing is ok.
A good sense of humour is essential, especially if it's a bit crazy like mine. If you appreciate Monty Python, The Darwin Awards, Steven Wright, The Marx Brothers, The Far Side, The Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy and The Goons then we should end up laughing at similar things.
I’m a romantic with a soft centre and my dream would be to find romance and someone to walk off hand in hand into the sunset with.
What His Friends Say
Susan said...
Tony has been my best friend for over forty years, the most loyal and faithful friend who will always stand by you. He is very caring with a big heart. Tough but with a soft centre. Young at heart but a post grad of the University of Life. Charming with a great sense of humour, as you may have noticed from his profile. An open-minded eternal optimist he always looks on the bright side of life. He is very practical and has been known to tackle all sorts of DIY jobs, often making it up as he goes along but always ending up with a great result. Tony is someone you would be lucky to have in your life.
