OP my DH likes the same shite stuff as yours. I feel your pain.

Just think though. My DH actually WORKS on the railway too. So when he's not on the bloody simulator, he talks about his work. Same difference.

Why did I marry him again? Ermmm

chocolateyclur · 10/02/2012 20:04

I married a geek. Not a train geek, bit a geek nonetheless.

And now I often indulge him in his geekdom. Not like that.

Busyoldfool · 10/02/2012 20:06

Oh Joy! I'm not alone in my shame!. DP has a huge Hornby trainset complete with trains, carriages, level-crossings etc etc and it lives on the dining room floor from December to March!!! (Actually we all play with it!)

We once went on a family outing to a model fair in a nearby town hall Blush.

I won a rather natty Hornby model train in the charidee raffle Blush

I gave it to a passing geek Grin

Oh the shame ...

LittleBarnOwl · 10/02/2012 20:10

Ooh my DH is a geek, he's in the chess club and has a liking for clothes that look like C&A circa 1976.

Salmotrutta · 10/02/2012 20:12

You can still find C&A on "The Continent".

... just sayin'.

mrsjay · 10/02/2012 20:12

I have been to several model railway thingys i did it when we were going out i think i gave the impression i was interested , I have also visited railway museums seen the flying scotsman , Blush

LittleBarnOwl · 10/02/2012 20:14

DH is a continental, and there is a C&A in his hometown but his clothes are not from any of the recent stock!

Convert · 10/02/2012 20:15

Can't you try to make him watch porn as an alternate hobby? There is some filthy stuff on the Internet that would be considerably less shaming.

SharkBite · 10/02/2012 20:16

I really don't know Cervix, i try to abstein from all knowledge. He does rather like the sonic boom though from what i gather Hmm

mrsjay · 10/02/2012 20:16

I saw a bloke on a train (naturally) using his laptop actually designing tracks and stations for one of these simulators. It was really technical and every so often he flipped from the design screen to run the video of the simulation he had built. He was using real track data and photos and converting them to input into his laptop.

Ladies, hope you realise your confessions will make the MN spreadsheet spontaneously combust? Grin

My dh is a computer geek and has a large box of cables for "just in case" but that's it, that's all I am admitting to here!! and the 3 in the garage

PosiePumblechook · 10/02/2012 20:25

My DH is obsessed with anything Apple...not that he can work anything, I can, but he is 37 and has about 25 playlists with 'funky' titles.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 10/02/2012 20:27

Least he's not obsessed with bloody dice like my dp. Hmm

Whatmeworry · 10/02/2012 20:28

'Tis disgraceful. He should be watching porn like all the other MN men....

mrsjay · 10/02/2012 20:35

I shall change my Nms name and they will think i have combusted and never speak of it again Grin

mrsjay · 10/02/2012 20:36
