[HaveYouTakenLeaveOfYourCervix]

and is currently on the telephone to a computer chap admitting, with a straight face, and No Shame At All,that he needs a new graphics card......

I don't even thin I can type this......

he needs a new card for...................

Straight face and serious voice discussion..............

oh god....................

a new thingy for.......................................

His computer train simulator.

My DH is obsessed with anything Apple

The antidote

A direct quote from my husband...

"I read a really good book about the periodic table the other day"

He said it to my Dad, who is a complete nerd academic type, but even he had a little snigger at hubby!

good now get the thread deleted and we will pretend we havnt spoken whatmeworry

DH is convinced the Scottish football team will not only qualify for various tournaments, but that they will do quite well. He doesn't think they'll win - he's not completely deluded.

He was reading his Celtic football annual that I bought for him in bed last night.

Ooh I like the train thingy! Never seen that before. I would love a go on it!

I've just watched the whole 14+ minutes of that YouTube clip. It's very relaxing.

you sad sad bastards.

with mine it's computer football. pretend figures playing pretend football while he is the pretend manager. for hours. and hours.
One day i came home from work and he looked really sad, and when I asked what happened he said "I got sacked today.". I nearly passed out and then he added "On Football Manager, I mean". Stupid bastard computer person

There's a steam train version too apparently, and a London Underground one (although I can see how that might be pushing the boundaries of geekdom a bit)

Oggy - my Dad once said out at a restaurant (obvious his best scintillating after dinner conversation) "The phone book can really be a very interesting read"

So sorry for your loss MrsCervix. No flowers but donations to the Railwaymans Benevolent fund?

Give me trains over football any day - sadly my DH is sport mad.

bollocks to the benevolant ralwaypeople. i wan flowers. it's the least i can expect after putting up with this shame

fucing sport too.

why do you think i spend so much time here? - because the late bastard is always watching crap onthe TV. if it's not fucking cricket, it's fucking nostalgic train shite. bastard may he rest in peace

Have you noticed how much cricket and nostalgic train shite is on the TV?

They are all around us....

It's not sad Cervix! You could do it with him! Go on simulated trips together. Romantic, like. You could make a packed lunch with hard boiled eggs for the "journey".

My DH favours World of Warcraft.

You know how it sounds all fighty and swordy?

Nah. He learned fly-fishing the other day. And has a special leather bag with Healing Herbs in it

Can't complain though. The other day he had enough silver coins for a trip to the salon, so I chose his goblin's haircut

Mine has an O gauge train set on a board in the spare room. At least yours is using a computer-mine has never sent an email!

I'm here. Dh is a a saddo train geek enthusiast. I have two DS too. Ds1 also loves trains.

Ds has a OO gauge hornby train set which I quite like. Though to be fair he is six and I'm rather expecting him to grow out of it or it will have a mysterious fire when he's about 13

My DH is obsessed with anything Apple...

Hes an Apple Tart

Lots of them about

OP, my youngest brother (21) has Asperger's Syndrome and one of his things is trains/model railway (it's all over the spare bedroom....) so you have found me the birthday present to end all birthday presents. Do that make it better?

Warhammer. Check.

Trains. Check.

Flight simulator. Check.

World of Warcraft. Check.

Dungeons and Dragons. Check.

Divorce papers. Can't be arsed as he does the washing up.

It's LEGO in our house... The DC aren't even old enough and there's that "rummage, rummage" noise going on... DH is soon to be 35, not 9!

My bloke is well into his Warhammer 40K.

We have a 'spare room' filled where he sits at a desk and models them (has a special 'Warhammer desk' and bookshelves crammed with the stuff. Our loft is filled with sealed boxes of figures which 'he doesn't need yet' and our shed is a haven of gaming tables and half finished bits of scenery.

He also reads the Warhammer novels. Have a bookcase filled with them behind me.

Him and his mates go out for a drink on a Friday night. They sit around a table in the pub and discuss Warhammer, the rules, new figures, etc. I used to go with him, now I stay home and do my nails.

I love him though, so what can you do?

Now the kids do Warhammer too - at this rate the cat will start playing instead of just knocking the figures off the table.....
