danensis (62) from Derbyshire

I'm intelligent, thoughtful, humourous, and into all sorts of things from gardening to industrial archaeology.

In the past I have worked in a snack bar, worked on a building site, been a lighting designer, serviced photocopiers, started a housing co-operative, built a marquee from scratch, made a television programme, taught hypnosis and relaxation, organised conferences, done stage lighting and sound - oops this sounds more like a job interview!

I like good beer, fine wine and women who can make me laugh. I go folk dancing regularly (not Morris!), and like the theatre (though I may spend more time looking at the lighting and listening to the sound than watching the show ) though I don't get as often as I would like.

I like the songs of Tom Lehrer, Harry Chapin, Phil Ochs and the singing of the late John Wright, and poems by Les Barker and the Liverpool poets.

A sense of humour is vital, intelligent, thoughtful and sensitive, all the usual stuff. A love of music would be great asset - just about anything but jazz and house/garage or whatever its called! I'm not fond of tobacco smoke, but have some good friends who smoke so tolerate it when necessary.
