GEORGE S
Hello World! I'm a 50-something mechanical/electrical engineer who lives in Manchester, but travels a fair bit in the course of My work. I am not attached at the moment, but still live in hopes. My main interests are beer, curry, horizontal jogging, steam engines (the mill variety, not choo-choos), vintage & classic cars, comedy of the Python type, rock & roll, blues, Dylan, industrial archeology, being bone-idle & working (a bit of a contradiction there}, crosswords, suduko, adventure games, in fact anything as long as it is NOT Coronation Street (I've lived in Salford for over 20 years, and never met anybody like the characters in that pile of crap). I have travelled to most places in the world, sometimes for work, sometimes for pleasure and occasionally just for the hell of it.
