6ft,regular gym goer 4/5 times a week,non smoker. I'm single live on my own and work in the city centre I consider myself loyal, easy going, friendly, funny (I hope). I like the gym, restaurants, cinema, theatre, shopping and the occasional drink, though a bit of a light weight there I'm afraid 1 glass and I'm drunk.So all in all just a normal guy who is sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes kind, sometimes not, but always just me... I am not impressed by a fancy car, house or job no amount of money can make up for a crap personality.Remember "to the world you may be one person but too one person you may be the world" Time is precious and it costs you nothing.You can do anything you want with it but own it.You can spend it but you cant keep it and once you've lost it there is no getting it back its just gone.

An Australian man has reportedly killed a wombat with an axe after the animal attacked him and pulled him to the ground in a 20-minute ordeal.

Wombat
It is highly unusual for a wombat to attack a human
The 60-year-old victim had stepped on the creature which then became "rather nasty" and bit the man's lower legs and arms.
He was brought down by the wombat and also suffered injuries to his chest after finding it outside his caravan door.
The man tried to get away from the creature but it "kept coming at him", said a paramedic.
Eventually he managed to grab an axe and kill the animal, it is claimed.
Paramedic Robert Gill said: "Unfortunately the gentleman stood on the wombat.
"The wombat proceeded to get rather nasty and attacked him and inflicted some wounds to his lower legs and also to his arms as well."
"It took about 20 minutes. He did try to exit the area and get away from the wombat but my belief is that it kept coming at him," he told ABC Radio.
He was treated in hospital for bites to his arms and legs after the attack in Flowerdale, near Melbourne.
The victim has been living in the caravan temporarily while his house was rebuilt following last year's devastating bushfires.
A government spokesman said it was highly unusual for a wombat, a solid but slow-moving marsupial, to attack a human but admitted they could rush towards someone if threatened.
He said: "Wombats that are in an advanced stage of mange (disease) will become very agitated from the suffering and the irritation of the mange.
"But it's not known that they will push the attack to where they would physically attack someone."
