About Me?
I was born whilst Margaret Thatcher was on her throne and raised principally in a beautifully bleak rural idyll by middle-class parents with love and hope. Somewhat shaken by the expectations and vagaries of my life (or else unlucky in the area of brain chemical distribution) I slipped into a variety of melancholies somewhere around 15 and haven’t quite rebalanced yet.
I briefly flirted with becoming a professional student and wrote a doctorate in Classics to prove it but realising I was unsuited to academic administration I have accepted Fate has directed me down the path of the Publican.
I am attracted to a wide-range of gender presentations, sexual flavours and intellectual skills but am happily committed to my 2 darling partners and don’t have the time to take you up on your offer. In fact I barely divide my time between entertaining a baby, housework, making love, serving beer and stopping my intellect from atrophying as it is.
