    Smile Serious at last.

    Hi everyone,

    Keith, Rob, Pete and Joe have kindly allowed me to be a member of this site since last July and in that time I have made lots of friends - hopefully I have been able to give some useful information in that time regarding UK/Filipino/Filipina relationships. After all, that is what we are all about n'est-ce-pas?

    Of course, anyone who REALLY knows me will also know that I am a bit of a loony who, come election time, would rather cast my vote for Tarquin fintimlimbim ole Biscuit Barrell than any corruptive ******* from Labour or Conservative.

    So, what is the point of this post I hear you ask?????

    I just thought it would be a nice idea (Tell me if I am out of order Keith) if we all reiterated our personal autoboigraphies all on one post.

    Let me begin -

    My name is Alan -
    I am 54 years young -
    I originate from Stalybridge in Cheshire -
    I have 2 University Degrees and I am a teacher -
    I have been married to the beautiful Hanna since 9th June 2007 -
    I am currently spending a year in Valencia - Negros Oriental -
    I am passionate about music - was in the business professionally in the 70s.
    Also passionate about golf - a dodgey 8 handicap.
    Finally, love to make friends - especially here on filipinouk.

    Anyone want to contribute?

    Al.

    Mein name ist Tony
    Ich bin 44
    I was born and raised in London but moved to Leeds 3 years ago (I'm still learning the language), of African origin, hence the German, hehehe!
    I have a couple of medical-related degrees, an MBA and am in the final throes of a DBA (Doctorate in Business) - frustrated academic
    For work I look after Global Sales for a major Pharma company - over 220 flights last year - 40 so far this year
    Sofi and I were married in Surigao on December 28th, 2007. Sofi is my rib.
    I try my hand at badminton when I can and like entertaining - i make a mean sisig baboy. If any of you ever pop to Leeds let me know it would be nice to share a coffee or beer. The sum total of my social network up here consists of the estate agent that sold me my house....and lives with me..hmmmn! And his best mate.

    I have no qualifications (unless you count alcohol & drugs)
    I was supposed to have signed for LFC, but broke a finger nail so had to retire.
    I've never broken the law apart from the laws that are obviously wrong!
    I was a choirboy in my youth which is why I find it difficult to sit!
    Since I met the missus I've been deaf.....

    Ethyl alcohol is much nicer in alcoholic drinks. Isopropyl alcohol perhaps not so nice ;-) Ethyl is also better for a bit of a massage.

    I think those drugs are definitely under hand and under counter but prescribed by qualified pushers.

    LOL!!!!!!!
