*That's from THE SWIMMER (1968) with Burt Lancaster.

I'm genuinely pretty shy, but not cripplingly so. Not your typical bloke. Have had three relationships, the last one (lasting 8 yrs) ended a year ago. Been feeling sorry for myself and sleeping a lot. Snapping out of that now by getting on here – happy happy joy joy and all that. Almost left this section blank. I am also unable to lie.

I am a writer and I work with film.

I enjoy writing, Apple Macs, films, music, walking, laughing, playing jazz drums, giving massages, eating, breathing, sleeping, etc

First things people notice about me? I'm 6ft 3", have striking blue eyes, a manly gait, disarmingly odd face, wooden leg, parrot on shoulder...

Favourite books, movies, shows, music, and food?
Deep interests in film and music. Autobiographies, classic cinema, old stuff, world cinema, art house, silent cinema, don't watch much TV, love old music/folk/60s/soul/funk/jazz/ indian/gamelan, strange stuff, love any healthy well-sourced cuisine, particularly fond of Indian/Asian, like to make my own from scratch so I know what's in it.

On a typical Friday night I am:
Preparing gorgeous food to eat alone. Watching a film, alone. Getting into bed wearing Victorian nightcap, alone.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit:
I will probably r you with my love, but in the best way possible.
