I think that swiss chocholates are the best, for a gift chocholates are really affordable, but, yes, they can be expensive.

Swiss chocholates would be an ideal gift for meeting a girlfriends mother occasion.

Men choose different services for different reasons, me, I was about to join the airforce [RAF/Royal air force] as a younger teenager when I learnt that I wouldn't be eligible for the pilot exams because of the colour blindness I have. I didn't join because I've wanted to fly spaceships since I was a little boy and at that stage I knew I needed a different path.

These days as I'm still an active athlete, I train everyday as best as possible according to how much I can push my stimina. I guess my usual regime is about soldier standard. I would like to improve my ability to sas [special air service] standard sometime during the future.

Most people have a favourite musical instrument, a personal ambition to play an instrument, secret desire to play an instrument. My choice was the piano, I had lessons, and when I owned my recording studio's this is the synthesizer I took home with me.

Everyone has a favourite choice of architecture. For sheer size and genius the pyramids are probably easy winners of that choice, but, for the story and history of a great love affair the Taj mahal is an exceptional building of true beauty.

Shoes, men must have good shoes I believe, the feeling of a good stern pair of shoes gives me the urge to perform. Now days I have my trekking shoes on everyday, but, for occasions, this is what I'd choose.

For classic shoes church's is my first choice.

For the quality contemporary shoe.

Tod's.

Because I do field science now, I haven't bought a suit for years, but, If I was purchasing a suit I would certainly have an Ozwald boateng suit.

After my divorce 10 years ago [don't marry barrister's they think their clever, my brother did though and she's nice], the next woman I had a relationship with was a British airways pursur {the manager of the airplane}, I travelled the world with her first class 5 star hotels.

I visited Mauritius and believe it has the most perfect beach setting I have ever experienced, pure fine white sand and turquise warm ocean water perfect while scuba diving after resting on the beach.

I have had the opportunity to tell the president of mauritius after shaking his hand and complementing him at the beauty of Mauritius.

My favourite book, a really non-reader friendly book, it is amazingly short for such an absolute iconic stature. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK.

I am fascinated with hot stars, really hot stars, the truth is 'the' hottest stars, that classification is 'W' which is more than 50,000 kelvins {temperature}, I believe another classification will be added, when our astronomy improves, I believe stars of more than 200,000 kelvins exist.

Other stars interest me, I do have a hobby of studying particular regions of the sky.

The star that interests me for personal reasons is the star at location;



USNOA2 0750 08405506

R.A. 14h 15m 00.32s

DEC -08" 17' 02.5


apparent magnitude 15.5


REGION = Virgo

My favourite photographers, lol... thats easy, his name is Dennis Morris and he's one of my friends, as well as a close confidant and nurturing influence for me, he is the most influencial man who ever used a camera, I can't really choose what photograph I like best, before anyone was anyone, for some reason dennis took his photograph, yes, really dennis touch me please {a golden touch}, but, among the most famous photographs ever, Dennis has probably 10 of the worlds top 20 best known. He is an absolute genius and a really humble and humbling man, boss of many of the worlds most influencial music companies at some stage of his music career, but, intrinsically a mesmeric touch. Yes, dennis, your the ... .... man.

Everyone has a favourite item which they like, as a masters degree trained standard with gems, ancient jewellery tools, and ancient craft has seen me be involved with archaeological field work. This is my favourite jewellery artifact.

I guess a very popular question is 'what is someones favourite first date with a girl/woman?'...

I'm quite a reserved sort of person, I don't really like the bright lights of the disco, I have had my days of flying off to another country for partying, but, really, I prefer quiet private talking, and just getting a realistic feel of the person of interest, so...

Country pubs, a hidden historic country lane pub and if its got a pinball, yes, thats what I'd like for my first date with a woman, talking, playing pinball and drinking beer...

Additionally, eating Chinese food in bed {and I do not eat any food in bed} while watching star trek, probably, preferably, potentially for the third time that day/night {because each time I realise something different about the plot}.
