Firstly I would like to tell you all that at 51 years old I am a disabled biker. I still ride,  but only a small bike these days. I still yearn for some of the monsters that I have including the XJR1300 that I was riding when I got my disability. OUCH!!!

Driving cars and using mobile phones do not mix

I can now only walk very short distances and can only stand for very short periods. I will have a limp for the rest of my life.

As you can guess by my name I play pool. Actually I am a bit of a shark on the green cloth being ranked at number 40 in the local league, out of more than 500 players.

Up to the last public house that I played for closing down (which is more than likely with  this absurd smoking ban)  I have always represented my team at all delegates meetings.

I pride myself in my feedback score along with the star ratings which really do take some beating. As I write this I know for certain that my star ratings are better than some but not all top rated sellers. I have even attained 5/5 for despatch time and postage/packing charges. 4.8/5 for item description. Anyone who sells much on ebay knows how difficult it is to remember everything and one persons idea of good condition may be very different to someone elses. But I am trying to get this score up. I also have a 4.9/5 for communication. I am at a loss as to why I have not got 5/5

I believe that ebay should reward some of the smaller sellers as it encourages sellers to be more honest. I have noticed that purely  because of my feedback then I can get a better price for something than John Doe with 98% feedback and star ratings of 4.2/5 for example who may be selling the same item.

I have dealt with some outstanding ebayers on here. Two of which are exceptional. Before anyone asks, I am not in their employment, they are not paying me and they do not know what I have wrote about them unless in the very unlikely circumstance that they read this.

The dealers being Bamford Trading and Yuniparts. Actually Yuniparts take 1st place. If anyone wants to know why, just ask me.

I believe in treating people how I like to be treat myself. Ill be the first to admit that I cannot stand bible bashers coming to my door with their silly superstitions. I never go to there door and tell them that number 13 is unlucky! It's just as absurd

Besides playing pool, my other hobbys include messing about with the bike and cooking. I am also a very good mathematician. I applied for the job on countdown but I never hears another thing. Probably because as a 51 year old overweight male, I would not look very good in a tight fitting miniskirt. NOW FOR THAT SALARY I MIGHT WEAR ONE.

I currently ride a very old Kawasaki z250 which I built myself. I actually bought it right here off ebay last year for just over £20  because it was almost complete but everything was in 2 black dustbin liners.

It gave the wife something to moan about anyway, so everyone was happy. Lol.   As they say in Barnsley,"Thas bort a reyt pile a junk itll neer run agean" Had to prove her wrong.

I like to experiment with food and can cook a wide variety of foods.

Now I have strong views on this subject.

If to be called a Cornish pasty it should be made in Cornwall then Yorkshire puddings should be made in Yorkshire. Dont even get me started on Indian curries.

I have donated various sums of money to the RNLI in Cromer. Not huge amounts but occasionally certain people have done me a favour and refused my offer of payment so I have donated the money to a very worthwhile cause. This all come about by a very rare old bike that I was selling on ebay and someone asked me if I would sell them a part off it. I had a spare one at the time and I told him instead of paying me, just to put a donation in a local charity box. It turned out that both he and his wife are on the fund raising commitee of the RNLI in Cromer

More about me

I am a family man with 4 grown up children and 7 grandchildren. I also have a dog which is treated like one. He is a 4 year old rottweiller who is the most gentle obediant dog that you could ever wish to meet. And I know that there are people out there who will disagree with me because we have all heard the horror stories about Rottweillers. Let me tell you this, There are no bad dogs, just bad owners.

I can honestly say that I have never hit my dog. I have treat him with compassion and kindness and I can trust him 100% in all circumstances.

My favourite holiday destination is Turkey, having been 4 times and always to the same resort. Kusadasi.

I have many friends there. Everytime I go I try to learn a little bit more of the language. I believe that it is the fair thing to do. If you try, they love you for it. Its only the same in this country. I have often heard racist elements complain that they find it rude when other ethnicities who can speak English fluently prefer to speak in their mother tongue. Without being racist, I believe that they have a fair point. So why should I be any different. I always try to speak Turkish when in Turkey. Its only fair.

I usually (ok always really) manage to make a fool of myself on the karaoke when over there. So what, no one knows me, apart from the Turks that is, but I only go once of twice a year.

I do know how to butcher a Roy Orbison song.

Thats enough about me for now.

I may add something later.
