Well I tried the short but sweet approach, it didn't work, so I shall revert to my normal method of rambling on for ages! Sorry to those who don't like long profiles!

I would think I am a pretty regular guy, hopefully I am friendly, intelligent and a good friend to those I like. I suppose the most unusual thing about me is that I don't drink alcohol, so don't go to bars or clubs and so on, which is why I'm here, its a new way to meet new friends, without leaving my home.

My interests are books, music, football and being outdoors as I'm a country boy. I love to try new things though, so anyone with recommendati​ons of cool but unusual hobbies I could try would be most welcome! I suppose I could be considered a bit of a geek/nerd/do​rk, take your pick of the description!​ But I'm cool with that, and it would be nice if you were too!

I don't really have any specific requests, so long as your friendly, fun and genuine we'll get along just fine! I've been online for years so I can spot a scammer a long way off, so don't even thing about bugging me!

Live music, reading, the outdoors, football

Stone Roses, The Enemy, Idlewild, Nightwish, Placebo, Lacuna Coil, Jack Penate, 30 Seconds to Mars,  Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana, The Jam, Guns & Roses, Amy MacDonald, Good Charlotte, Ash.

Put simply anything involving guitars, drums and vocals is good. I really cannot stand rap or urban music. Otherwise I am open to reasonable suggestions,​ so feel free to recommend someone!
