Seriously missing: * gallivanting around Europe, nude beaches; * social nudity in general (especially outdoors); * hanging around in nice restaurants; * bouldering. Not missing: * commuting * spending all day sitting in a windowless office in front of a computer. OK, spending all day in a room at home with a computer isn't a massive improvement, particularly as some of my colleagues are very nice people who are good to be around, but at least the dress code's more relaxed and no-one microwaves kippers at lunchtime. [Aside: It's probably a waste of time noting here that if you have just one picture, no info (apart from some scam-site url), no certification, no forum activity, etc.., and you send me a friend request with no message, then I'm just gonna bin it, however attractive the person in your almost-certainly-stolen profile pic is. I mean seriously, dudes, get a life.]

Interesting people with a bit of empathy and regard for others. Anyone polite and considerate is generally OK by me. It's perhaps easier to say who I'd prefer not to meet: For starters, I cannot abide bullies. And I'm not here for "hook-ups" with random strangers, I'm not into pushy guys (it's usually guys), and I'm not looking to be anyone's "daddy" (shudder). I have nothing against sex-positive folk (I'm much less worried about the notion that naturists might also be sexual creatures than some, perhaps), I'm by no means a prude, but 'swinging' isn't my personal thing, and naturism for me is mostly about being comfortable, taking delight in, being a human in nature.

Naturism, obviously; archery; shooting; travel; photography; electronics; engineering (various) incl. metalworking, 3D printing, etc; philosophy; cinema; music; cooking; climbing; model aviation; real aviation; ... a bit of an "interests" butterfly, really.

Always keen to hear new stuff, I love live music and impromptu encounters with musical folk.

Watched and enjoyed far too many to list, and what I like, and the reasons for liking it, can be quite varied - I suppose a few examples (neither even slightly exhaustive, or necessarily all that representative) of films I've enjoyed: The Big Lebowski, Galaxy Quest, Withnail & I, Volver, Gazon Maudit, When Night Is Falling, True Grit (Coens' version), Brazil, Serenity, The Dreamers, Breakfast on Pluto, ... I don't think I've ever enjoyed an Adam Sandler movie (in fact the only film I've ever walked out of was one of his, and I've sat through some *bad* movies :-) ). I'm not big into horror or phsyco-thriller type stuff, though there are exceptions.

Rosa Parks, Sophie Scholl, people like these who have the courage to oppose injustice and hatred, despite having everything to lose.
