Marry Merlene Ottey

ABOUT ME

This is a dastardly trick - When I filled this 'new' bit in it was in response to the question - What do your friends think of you? I log on a weeks later to find it filed under 'personal Description'
Newbies be warned don't fall into the same trap and have to edit it out of the 3rd person and to reflect a PERSONAL description -
Radio 4/Xtra chat to meincessantly.
Cherry Pie is sweet,wether or not Friday night's warm.
I'm cosseted in the rarefied atmosphere of aMobilePhonia.
I use less fuel than most,but no longer under the Green banner of my youth,more because driving in this country is soooo frustrating.
People associate this with me being a fitness freak but this is really a sad reflection on 1st world lifestyles. My cycling and exercise barely reaches what probably the majority of people on the planet have to perform as activities of daily living and rarely reach WHO recommendations for health ,never mind fitness.
Recovering Chocaholic , even though I was struck with dysosmia in 2009 and had to completely transfer my sweet tooth penchant to cake and Cherry pie (and Serena Williams - sorry Merlene you had you chance).

PHILOSOPHY

With effort things can always get / be better.
(With the obvious exception referred to above,which will continue to creepingly spread their suffocating miasma over the whole globe)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch awaits you though my incessant travelling may get in the way of it's use.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN MOBILE PHONES! I do not have one,I will never have one.I therefore cannot text you or anyone.I therefore will not text you or anyone EVER.So don't ask.I believe they are an evolutionary blight to the future of mankind and therefore do my utmost to be untainted by their malign existence.
