New UK guy checking in

Hi everybody,

I’m 59 (but act much younger), Male and I currently live in the UK, Portsmouth to be exact.

I’m a T4/5 Complete paraplegic, so I’ve been confined to a wheelchair since 2002 (Motorcycle accident), paralysed from the nipples down. I am 5′ 9″, I smoke cigarettes, I’m recently single again after a 1 year relationship with a very attractive 50yr old widow…I have a 26yr old son, who lives nearby with his wife, I’ve got blue eyes, greying hair, I’m British, I’m an atheist, I’m an Aquarian, I drink socially, I don’t have pets, I have no special dietary requirements, I require no medical intervention, I’ve got my own car…I used to work in I.T. as a Mainframe Consultant (Unemployed since the accident, sadly)

I’m just ‘normal’, i.e. Funny, reasonably clever, honest, genuine, sincere – but we all say that, don’t we haha – I’ve been around Dating Sites long enough to know the drill (and no, I’ve never had much success before)…basically it’s look at the picture, and if you like what you see – please get in touch. I’m pretty fiercely independent and self-sufficient, but I’m learning to accept help when it’s offered. I’m happy to travel a reasonable distance in the pursuit of romance (I’ve been all over England & lived with a girl in Liverpool for 6 months for example).

I’m basically looking for someone like me, but without the male appendage (The drugs DO work on mine, by the way 8) )…having said that, my last partner was very different to me, but we had the magic ‘chemistry’, so we had a very happy year together.

I love plenty of music, especially Trance (Euphoric, uplifting Sasha/Digweed/Oakenfold/Emery types) – I go to raves, I go to concerts…most recently Coldplay, Will Young, Michael Ball, with Leona Lewis upcoming – eclectic is the word I believe.

I enjoy watching Sports (Football, Test Cricket, Rugby Union mainly) as a distraction when I’m single, otherwise my partner comes first (she always does, in fact)…

Like the more cerebral TV (QI, HIGNFY, high-quality Dramas such as The Wire, Suits, Sopranos, West Wing) – abhor most ‘reality’ programs…

Enjoy Films – various tastes, nothing specific. Don’t read much any more, but I’ve read most of the ‘classics’.

Well…the usual Dating Site chore over, I’ll go and potter around the Forum now, see if I can add any pearls of wisdom (hah) while I wait for the deluge of hawt females, eager for a piece of me…:L

Oh yeah, here’s a piccie…taken on a recent Cruise (April 2013), suitably dressed in my DJ and dickie for Dinner – loved it!
