Tucuxii

Hi

I'm an overwieght middle aged sarcastic male Star Trek fan - which as Comic Book Guy was told on the Simpsons must explain why I such a hit with the ladies.

I live near the sea in southern England having worked in nature conservation for 27 years.

My interest are -

Natural History - I'm currently recording species on the local sea cliffs and get to the local nature reserve to bird watch a couple of times a week.

Travel - I've been to all the inhabited continents, worked as a conservation volunteer in Spain, Mexico, Boliva, Costa Rica and Brazil -where tucuxi (esturine dolphins) swam with me, surveyed whales and dolphins in the Canaries and Bay of Biscay (where I spotted the second True's Beaked Whale ever seen), lived in Australia and had amazing adventures in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal Kenya, and Borneo

Wildlife photography - which I'll share if I work out how to up load images

Family history - I've traced my family back to the riegn of Elizabeth I and am pleased to say they were all poor and mostly honest - well great great great granddad Isaac was tried at the Old Bailey and got seven years hard labour. His son was one of the secretaries of the International Brotherhood of Glassblowers and corresponede with Fredrick Engels which explains my politics

I enjoy quirky films (Brazil, Life of Brian, Withnail and I etc)and quirky books (Douglas Adams, Catch 22, Terry Pratchet)

I'm a secular Buddhist and like Slatibartfast a great fan of science
