Excellent health. Two short stays in hospital. One for a pneumothorax which occurred immediately after I had finished refereeing a football match (1992, aged 45). - This is a common condition in late teens/early twenties. The second was for a week's course of intravenous multiple antibiotic therapy to prevent septicaemia occurring when a minor Staphylococcal infection began tracking up my arm. I have smoked from the age of twelve, but only drink socially and only briefly experimented with drugs as a student in the sixties. No addictions

Very intelligent, competitive, reliable and trustworthy, open and honest (to the point of tactlessness!), intolerant of fools and liars (which includes politicians and politics!). Generous and faithful. Calm and easygoing, but remain apart from the crowd - others can see this as cool and aloof - but I am a good team member and try never to let anyone down. Excellent organisational skills and always tidy. Will obstinately stick with a problem or question until it is solved. A considerate, sensual, and affectionate lover and consider my partner's needs above my own. Will encourage open communication about everything within a relationship. Non-aggressive, not argumentative, not a worrier, not forgetful, not jealous

The work you have done for a living, and your interests and hobbies

Laboratory work in the food industry.

Interests: chemistry

Work: bar work, waitressing. I am currently doing temp secretarial work.

Interests: Psychology, astrology, music, holistic therapies, space and the universe

Work: student holiday work as a Dining room waiter in a holiday camp. Research Assistant in Microbiology. 35 years as a Biomedical Scientist in a Hospital Microbiology Laboratory.

Main interests and hobbies: chess, backgammon and many other board games, quizzes (setting and competing), playing the guitar (pub entertainer), crosswords and word games, pool, archery, archaeology, and ancient wisdom and inventions

Your favourite colours, clothes, and type of shoes

Favorite color: green. Light-brown clothes and shoes

Colours: pale blue, sky blue, dark red, lilac.

Clothes: casual but respectable, non designer

Favourite colours: black, browns and stone colours.

Clothes and shoes: casual but smart trousers and jumpers or long-sleeved T-shirts in above colours (Hate denim!). Comfortable, slip-on suede, pigskin or leather shoes or boots

What kind of art, books, magazines, music, and movies are to your taste?

Science, history, religion and Egypt

Art: Klimt, Dali, surrealism.

Books: heart-warming novels, supernatural themes.

Magazines: New Scientist, National Geographic.

Music: chill-out world music, tabla drums, anything with unusual harmonies

Art: impressionism, but it depends on the actual picture.

Books: mainly reference books and those exploring a particular subject like philosophy, psychology, aromatherapy, pleasure, happiness etc. No time to waste on fiction, but "The Diceman" was a remarkable concept.

Magazines: only "First Down".

Music: The Beatles, Bach, Vivaldi, Leonard Cohen, Mike Oldfield, Mercury Rev and Donovan. I hate heavy metal, rap, hip-hop and most of the modern "skipping" style droning which can only barely be defined as music.

Movies: best film: "Das Boot" (full length German version). Moving films or good British/Australian/French comedy or early black an whites like "Casablanca". Anything non-Hollywood! The American idea of screenplay, plot and dialogue is pathetic - give Hollywood a good plot idea and they will destroy it - "300" being a perfect example - excellent visual effects and cinematography .... and there it ends!

Additional information supplied

[Alex says that he is intelligent, but, judging from the way he filled in the submission form, he strikes me as being dim, imperceptive and completely tasteless. Not very typical of an Aquarian]

None

[A good, clear, informative submission. Good to receive a submission for a change from someone who takes an interest in himself and who can write]
