RumBassiousPenguin (63) from Essex

Musician (sort of), retired (enforced by the recession (from the oil industry). happily in good health, no med's or anything else. I have a part-time job as a bass guitarist and I do stage lighting for small gigs and mini-festivals.

Someone to share life with - a festival, trolley in LIDL - all the "normal" stuff. Sense of slightly off-the-wall humour would be a bonus.

My hobbies and interests

Cooking	I tend to go for simple but good food e.g. steamed sea bass, runner beans, new potatoes. The more exotic I have success with - spiced lentil and coconut soup, crab and sweetcorn soup, nikujaga and ginger stuffed lychees. Chocolate covered, of course.
Shopping	I target-shop. "One of those please, thanks, bye!" I have a pathological hatred of self-service check-outs - invented by Satan on a bad day. (Edited because I originally typed "Stan" instead of "Satan"!)
DIY	I'm a total Fumbly Fred! Power drills are made to drill holes not quite where you want them and glue is made to stick everything except what you want.
Housework	Argh! I'm more likely to 'hoover' your lounge than mine!
Dining out	Indian or Thai is always good.
Movies	I liked the Queen movie!
Theatre	Art, opera, ballet not for me, I'm more of a Blues Band man. Well, I would be.
Music	Now we're talking! I like a wide range but electric guitar must be included. Or bass! Not C&W though. Favourites - Gary Moore, Camel, Eric Sardinas, Aynsley Lister, Rory Gallagher. Currently though - I'm a big Greenday fan!
Gigs	As a bassist with Petra VIVA! I'd best turn up. I also play bass for Phoenix Moon (New CD out) and Richie Moran's Earthquake and do stage lighting for gigs - recently worked as a sound engineer.
Pubs	A country pub for lunch always appeals as does a pub with live music.
Clubbing	Clubbing? Never! Rubbish music. Plus I "dance" like an octopus on speed having a fit.
Newspapers and magazines	Rarely, I tend to rely on the 'net for news. Or read paper over breakfast out.
Books	I'm reading a lot of John Grisham lately (Sycamore Row is possibly his best known).
TV	Not much of a TV bug, certainly not 'soaps'. But I like "Can't pay? We'll take it away".
Watching sport	I like a game of football, but it's not going to rule my life. If my team lose, it's only a game.
Playing sport	Sadly my enthusiasm vastly exceeded any talent I had - and that wasn't much. I like table tennis but again, I'm not much!
Hobbies	Guitar, camping (fair weather only), The Big Outdoors, old buildings, bass guitar, flying my quadcopter (which recently crashed into my frying pan!). I'll try most things...some only once though. I have recently started volunteer work for mental health charity. Oh and if you have $20 million to launder, don't waste your time - or mine. Still here? Quote Karl Marx and I'll know you've read all my profile. Pip pip!

My hopes and dreams

In ten years I see myself	Fit, well and celebrating ten years of being stupidly in love.
Who would I invite to a dinner party?	Hmmm...tricky one. 1. My dad who died when I was eleven, I never knew him 2. Leonardo Da Vinci - a genius - and 3. Rory Gallagher.
My ideal date	Well, being a gentleman, I'd let the lady decide.
What would I never, ever give up?	Music. Without it I'd go potty! Oh and my internal organs...And external ones!
If I had to give a speech on a subject I was passionate about ...	Fire safety in the home.
If I could visit anywhere in the world at any time in history	Woodstock, to see Jimi Hendrix. He inadvertently taught me so much.
If I had a million pounds to give to charity	Worldvision, part of the "Make Poverty History" campaign; Wateraid - clean drinking water is a right, not an option!
My "and finally" section ...	I'm a qualified football referee! How dull is that?
