Not exactly a TAAT but as we're talking about people who witter on about their totally random pet obsessions, do you fancy entertaining me (while I lie here suffering off some hideous lurgy) by telling me your pet thing that you witter on about?

For me it's probably animals. I find it really hard not to share the fact that I have seen a red kite/a woodpecker/next door's cat today. I'm so glad for Facebook now as I can post a picture of said wildlife and other people who give a shit can Like it. I don't know why I find them so fascinating really, maybe it's just that it's a damn sight more fun than talking about the news these days Grin

Food
Cold war history
The 8th amendment
Twitter and Mumsnet

A natural combination I'm sure you agree😁

I love when someone is passionate waffling away about something I never considered though, always learn something interesting/I never knew. Especially if they've had a few and are enthusiastic about sharing 😁😁😁

TSSDNCOP · 30/04/2018 19:01

Rugger the Irish or US? I can witter for hours on why cruel and unusual punishment should also encompass the death penalty.

AnduinsGirl · 30/04/2018 19:03

This makes me think of Adrian Mole and the Norwegian Leather Industry...!! :D

onalongsabbatical I'm currently reading The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock. Recently finished With the End in Mind which was excellent (hence my current username), and I am boring my friends about palliative care and the importance of planning for your own death. Cheerful!

BitchQueen90 · 30/04/2018 19:50

Travel. I can talk about it forever.

TheGirlWhoLived · 30/04/2018 19:55

Books- particularly young adult dystopian books Grin I live in the search of a good first novel of a trilogy... it has happened about 3/4 times in the last year :(

Also I am really REALLY obsessed with Harry Potter Grin I think that would have to be my mastermind special subject. I can recite the first chapter of HPatPS verbatim! Eldest dd loves it

Beerwench · 30/04/2018 19:56

Horses, I can talk about them forever. Not even just mine, anyone's horses or anything remotely equine. Been obsessed since I was a child. Parents sure it was a phase - 40 now and probably worse Grin

deadringer · 30/04/2018 19:56

Jane Austen. No one i know in rl has any interest in her or her books so it's all online wittering with other obsessed people.

DannyLaRuesBestFrock · 30/04/2018 20:04

Donald Trump. I’m a bit obsessed and I’m banned from mentioning him at home

My mum is too and we have also banned her from mentioning him 😂😂

She's not arsed though and still whatapps at least once a day with something trump related.

Pluckedpencil · 30/04/2018 20:08

push the right wrong buttons and you will get
hot headed feminism, especially the micro aggression stuff
worries and joys of my young children, not illness or food though, that shit is really boring even for me.
a lot of stuff about languages, etymology and incongruities of different languages, which really does bore most people to tears,

Stompythedinosaur · 30/04/2018 20:13

Feminism and the history of dark ages Northumberland are mine.

TriHard27 · 30/04/2018 20:29

Triathlon especially running. Which is reeeeally boring for anyone not into it. Grin

GrannyGrissle · 30/04/2018 20:59

Gardening. Gardeners' Question Time. The state of my lawn. Ponds (aquaculture as i like to grandly refer to it). The newts in my pond. The pros and cons of getting pet chickens this summer. Courses i may or may not sign up for. WTF to do with my life. Supermarkets and their contents. Bargains. The Archers. Eating too much and thus never losing weight. Health issues. Luckily most of my friends are equally sad boring fuckers and our conversations are balanced (not me wittering on AT them).

GrannyGrissle · 30/04/2018 21:01

Oh and vaccum cleaners and the pros and cons of local primary schools.
