Hi all - this is my job - I'm a professional engineer with a full time career as a company director and I'm now studying a part time law degree ... and these are my looks. I'm 50, I'm 5'8, about 15 st - a well built ex-rugbyplaying prop forward! (in my youth).

I have short cropped hair, and a stubbly beard. I have a hairy body and am 9" u.c.

I have many things I'm involved with outside of my normal day job, so most people who know me wonder how on earth I get the time to sleep!

Although I'm mostly based in Essex, I travel the UK widely North to South & East to West (I drive a Jaguar X-Type).

Despite my mad and hectic life, I always make time to sit and relax with people. I appear to be very serious at first, but I have a very dry sense of humour, and it doesnt take long before people say 'Don't you ever take anything seriously?

I don't generally like large crowds - preferring more intimate settings and surroundings, although I do like watching rugby.

My favourite place to holiday is Co. Cork in Ireland. My favourite food is (probably) fish, to go with it - and to be non-conformist, I love South African and Australian red wines.

Although I get precious little time to myself, when I can rest, relax and unwind - I want to make the most of it, and prefer to do it in intimate company.

I'm very open minded and open to any suggestions - I can travel or accommodate to suit.
