Where to start, Trained in Oxford England, did 9 years active duty in the Royal Air Force, most in Strike command, Maritime command and surveillance, 13 years on reserve, So yes I have seen it, done it, broke it, fixed it, Flown all over the world. along with every thing that entails to enjoy life.
I do know how to live within my means, at the same time I do not have to be a slave to a wage packet. I am not insecure so I do not need fancy cars or houses.
I have learned a few things about people, so if Botox, implants, or plastic surgery, other than for medical reasons, Is your believe that's the only way to hook a person, or your working on obtaining an MRS Degree,"Sigh a Nara".
Now if you like to laugh on an ice rink, put your legs over the back of a cinema seat, like to let go and be silly, now where talking. I know how to lay a table, open doors, wear a tie, I do not own and never will own flip flops.
I like to be silly at times, do prity dam well in conversations and debates, fly by the seat of my pants at times, heck some times I even plan a trip instead of just going,lol
I have no Tattoos, or body piercings, and getting them is never going to happen.

. have a few scars though.
It would be nice to meet one real genuine, honest, person, sorry, but look at the area, my chances I know are slim, just look at all these fakes and bakes, and wanna be bail out candidates, but hey I will survive,

. A ONE in a million person is better than a million klondikes.
On one last note, If you don't know how to be courteous, or understand the concept of ETIQUETTE, please...I am not for you. "PLEASE" "THANK YOU" "I AM SORRY"...those phrases go a long way, as do knowing when and how to dress.
My daughter once came out here for a while, here a part of what she thinks, and knows.
"Dad,your a laugh a minute, Intelligent, deep, quick, witty, Very proud, caring, very respected by Civilians, Law enforcement agency's and Military alike, and not to expect the expected".
"You where and will never be normal, that's why every one loves you, You do have a great ability to bring out the best in people".
"your close and true friends are not all normal, but they are the best any one could wish for, every one thinks they are great, how many kids have a dad, that would have breakfast in Scotland, lunch in Norway, Dinner in Sicily then break all the flight rules, to get back for a beer,lol, then trying to explain to mum about the sun burn". "When it was 3 feet deep in snow outside, yeah go dad".
There was one more thing my girls said about southern CA, I will put that here later,

That is a bridge, I am not worried about.
