I can't say I'm too outgoing. In fact, I may seem enclosed behind a strong wall, but don't worry it's not hard to breech. Once you get my attention, you would not be disappointed​. Beware though, once I am comfortable with you I'm like a ​...a friend for life. The downside is that I enjoy pulling legs and sometimes I just speak my mind...so be on the ALERT​

I'd like to exchange e-mail conversation​s with anyone, both males and females who are genuinely interested in forming new friendships.​ I can write to you only in English, but I can juggle a few Italian phrases as well. I'll colour​ your world and you colour​ mine!

I like to keep myself fit by doing walks, swimming and ​  at the gym. I enjoy reading, watching movies, cooking ( this is I do whether I like it or not as I'll be eaten alive by the other members of the pack), take care of my plants (although sometimes I neglect them completely) , and when I'm inspired, I paint or sketch (which is hard to do when you have kids forever interupting the peace) I also love travelling at least once a year but this year I'm broke, so am relying on your support guys. If you happen to live in a mansion (preferably with a pool) I would be delighted if you would invite me over for a break. lol  I am self-employe​d and also work as an interior designer and a mural artist. Just for the record, especially to all you guys out there, designing is not a 'sissy' job. There's much more to it then plumping up cushions and hanging frilly curtains.lol​

R&B, POP, CLASSIC and a little of everything else if it sounds pleasant enough to my ear. Anything's better then hearing my children fight, or my wife nagging.lol At the moment I'm into Amy Winehouse and Alanis Morisette, Mina Mazzini, Donna Summer

The Pianist, The English Patient, Gladiator, Forrest Gump, The Green Mile, The Silence of the Lambs, Terminator, Speed, Indiana Jones, James Bond movies, La Vita e Bella, The Last Emperor, Schindler's List, Shrek...so many to mention

Little Britain, One foot in the grave, Absolutely Fabulous, Vicar of Dibley, Open All Hours, Frasier, King of Queens, Will & Grace, Everybody Loves Raymond, Two and a half men...mainly​ comedies and also documentarie​s when I'm down.

'The Cleaner' by Brett Battles. Good thriller....​finished reading it ...yet to get my hands on another one...this site got me hooked...lef​t me reading profiles and messages and reading between the lines!
