"FAR TOO CONTINENTAL FOR MANKIND
I have been trying to make a picture of a man. Changing, yes. Developing, I hope. Fantastic, improbable-perhaps. Quite worthless, quite irritating, if you feel that way. Or a slightly cockeyed ideal, if you feel differently. It doesn't matter so much, so long as you feel that you would recognize him if you met him tomorrow.
you I might be, just another ringer with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty, another one with that golden tongue poisoning all your fantasies, but never try to second guess me or I will give you your bill and turn all your thrillers into tragedies.
To find me, take a voyage to the bottom of the sea, because I'm a riddle you will see in the middle of the sea, but If you ask me things of life, then I will say:
"Me! I’m far too continental for mankind, I don’t tend to interfere in your lives, See me as a searcher with the answers, to your world, from under the sea. But If you come with peace at heart, I may help you to restart what went wrong so long ago, from down below."
My name is Dâvid Nèmo, I was born with a strange but none the less very real disability/mutation, that at first I thought of as a disability and a hindrance, however, I have come to think of it now as a gift and virtue, that aids me in my work and goals,
In life I am primarily a Courtier to my Lord Bacchus the Green Fairy and an unremitting debtor, however I hold a First/Honors degree in Psychology from Oxford University and am a former Officer in the British Royal Navy, also a boat Builder/Owner/Dweller, Professional/Expert, Scuba diver and unbounded Eco-Warrior that truly See's the evil that men do under the sea and who always believes that: "All is for the best, in the best of all worlds" and just sometimes within reason "The end, does justify the means".
I love diving of all sorts, sailing my Boat, {Nautilus 2000} and traveling on her instead of using airplanes, I have a small apartment and mooring in Port Grimaud near St.Tropez in the South of France that I barely use and usually rent out most of the year but always spend Christmas and New Year in Paris on the River Seine, moored with friends who have a great nearly permanent barge moored there.
I am also I a big Supporter and activist of Environmental issues and promote living a carbon neutral life. I have based my life and ideals on the Teachings of the US Military Developed First Earth Battalion, myself along with other Eco-Warrior friends now think of ourselves as the Aquatic Extension of the original concept "The First Earth Armada". Following along with there concept of none lethal weapons I also develop many of my own none lethal weapons systems, including perfecting the elusive secret of the tazer Arrow.
My Self Built Boat is 28 Foot Sharpie/Paradox/Sailboat {Nautilus 2000, What Else, with a name like mine, long story behind that,} Can not only Generate electricity from Solar Panels and two miniature high tech V.A.W.T. Wind Turbines, but also from her main miniature vegetable oil fueled Generator which in turn can power all Nautilus's other power requirements including her main propulsion a 6HP electric outboard. This Gives her an Environmentally Friendly top speed of 4 Knots and a little more with her sails up.
She is flat bottomed but with REVOLUTIONARY BALLASTED STAINLESS STEEL CASED, CHINE RUNNERS and has a folding mast and a draft of only 14 inches allowing her to easy access to almost any river estuary or swamp/Bayou , she also has digital Sonar and Radar and underwater infra lighting and cameras. Her mast also acts as a huge boosted WiFi Aerial allowing me to access the Internet and VOIP Services {Skype} anonymously from over two miles away with a rough line of site. She looks very normal and escapes most peoples attention by acting somewhat like a perception filter allowing me to work without people noticing me.
II also hold a black belt in Aikido & hold an E5 Expert Level Military/Special Forces Instructor rating in Krav-Maga, I am also highly proficient in Nunchaku-Do and the Orcutt Defensive Systems: Police Nunchaku.
I am also a keen Archer and Bow Hunter. As I stated above in conjunction with a colleague who is a brilliant engineer I have found the secret of and perfected the tazer arrow, and have also developed the smoke arrow, the CS gas arrow and of course the GPS tracker arrow.
All these I can launch from either my compound bow, my harpoon Gun or a rubber powered pocket arrow launcher that we also developed, for when space is tight. I also have a set of Orcutt Police Nunchaku, a miniature pocket tazer, a couple of pocket flares and as a last resort I also carry an Emerson LaGriffe Knife.
I also have an extensive array of high-tech, covert surveillance equipment at my finger tips for land and undersea use. Allowing me to covertly gather evidence on all those who seek to pollute our oceans for profit and then anonymously report them to the appropriate authorities.
I have an extensive wine collection/cellar for investment and pleasure and love wine tasting, I love good food as well and love trying new local dishes, I am also a sucker for a good cup of coffee.
I also love; , a Hedonistic Lifestyle, Social Engineering, Partying in Ibiza, St-Tropez, Puerto Banus and other european party capitals and of course playing Baccarat Chemin de Fer and Baccarat Banque till the small hours, at the tables there. I also play at international level in Grand slam Bridge tournaments across Europe and compete in Biathlons ~ {Swim/Run}, whenever I can.
So, my friends, dear bookworms, most noble fellow drinkers, frustrated burglars, affronted policemen, upright citizens with furled umbrellas and secret buccaneering dreams, fellow privateers and pirates--that seems to be very nearly all for now. It has been nice having you with us, and we hope you will come again, not once, but many times.

PPS. I have really only one pet hate in life and that is, those pathetic, totally stereotyped, slightly overweight {chubby}, sexist, loud over baring over arrogant obviously beta class fascist young men that are usually from London or the home counties, who always show off about eating, drinking and smoking cigars to access {usually ending up blind drunk and abusive}, play far to many computer games and usually work in some pathetic area of IT to boot are totally materialistic and clearly have huge self esteem issues and enormous inferiority complexes which in turn causes them to have massive chips on there shoulders, which tends to drag the rest of us down when we have to mix with them socially. Come on admit it, you know the ones I mean, you hate them to especially now that they have escaped your perception filters at long last. Oh sorry Two Pet Hates, all things Chavs, Chav {Blingey} people, Chav cars, Chav Culture and Chav Ideals, but then really who in society today, that has at least, half an ounce of manners, style, good taste and class doesn't!

"FAR TOO CONTINENTAL FOR MANKIND
I have been trying to make a picture of a man. Changing, yes. Developing, I hope. Fantastic, improbable-perhaps. Quite worthless, quite irritating, if you feel that way. Or a slightly cockeyed ideal, if you feel differently. It doesn't matter so much, so long as you feel that you would recognize him if you met him tomorrow.

Kind Regards and hope to catch you on the Flip Side ~ { DAVID } ~
