Introduction I'm Dave

I probably did this elsewhere and in the wrong place - I'm getting forgetful in my old age lol.

I'm fast approaching 70 years of age (this year), I'm a Scorpio, but my sting is blunt these days lol. I've lived a varied life, worked in a few different professions, worked for myself for the last 20 years of my working life. I played in a rock band for 15 years and loved every minute of that time. I love to watch most Science Fiction Movies and TV Shows, as long as they have a good story to them and not just all about how fancy the CGI can be. I prefer my comedy Movies to be more slapstick based. I like most music with exception of (c)Rap which drives me nuts. I like to socialise, but also enjoy my own company when I want to do my own thing in my own time and in my own way.

I suffer from a number of ailments, most are age-related (I detest that term) and have mobility issues (I tend to fall over lol). I never married, probably because I never met the right person who could put up with me, I mean to settle down with. I live in the UK in the Northeast of England, Geordie territory, and have done all my life. No kids (that I know of), no family left apart from two cousins in Wales.

If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, just ask and might just tell lol.
 
To summarize -- You're Dave and you're amazing ;)

Always love reading your posts, Dave, you're always insightful and fun!
