Hotwick (63) from Durham

Well this is the easy bit.. I'm perhaps not exactly what you're looking for. I like to keep in shape, and this weeks shape is a bag of spuds. Good looking!! Well, no... When I was born the midwife smacked my mother.. You had to be over 18 before you were allowed to look into my pram.My mother pulled it behind her to save from looking in. I was fed by a catapult and my parents tied a chop around my neck so at least the dog would come near me.There you are.. That's my description. I started work at 15 yrs as a 'Wringer-out' for a one-armed window cleaner.. Not progressing much up the ladder I ran away to join the circus as a tall dwarf. Eventuall I became the circus strongman, where the finale of my act was to bend an iron bar across my willie... Can't do it now.. my wrists have gone.. Then I moved to Ireland where I became a rear-gunner on a Belfast milk float.. and then... Oh alright.. I'll come clean... I did the following..Student, labourer, butler/chauffer, fireman(Auxillary) Justices' Clerks Assistant,Soldier(TA) Policeman, chef, hotelier, and now work at Beamish museum as a Costumed Interpreter of social history (Sounds grand but the pay's rubbish) Been married a few times.. First wife died of mushroom poisoning.. Tragically so did the second wife. Third wife died of a fractured skull.. She wouldn't eat the mushrooms.. Okay.. Okay.. Been married twice, divorced once and long term separated now. Have two sons and a stepson, all grown and living in london, and grand children.. That's pretty much me...

I'm hoping to meet a lady with a good sense of humour (She'll need it) Someone to share good times with, To share emotions and all the things that macho men don't write about. Someone whose hand I can still hold when she's 90 and popping her clogs... Until then, it would be nice to explore each others interests, discover new things about each other and grow together gradually, surrounded by periods of joy end laughter, sometimes serentiy and tranquillity, and just pure pleasure in being with someone special.
