Stop all this highly irritating coyness.

Not alone!

Why the aggressive heading and post op?

Eh???

I wish mine had a nice wholesome hobby Like cycling or golf. Mine is very political and spend hours watching YouTube videos of right wing commentators like Jordan Peterson and Paul Joseph Watson. I find them very annoying to listen to so to get out of my way he goes upstairs to his office and puts his headphones on to watch them on the PC. Which I find equally annoying because then he doesn't hear me when I called him down for dinner or anything else. I guess he can't win!

Does anyone remember that thread where the OP said she did a hobby with someone famous? There were literally hundreds of posts speculating what the hobby could be (and of course the celebrity). I wish we could have found out the real answer!

nononever · 14/09/2019 13:33

I remember that one. Hate threads alluding to something and we never find out what or who it is. Just plain nosey I guess!

1FineDane · 14/09/2019 14:58

Ye, I remember that thread. I remember thinking it was art with David Beckham lol.

@LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh - ooh, I love the hairnet! Try not to look quite so friendly and approachable, though, or you won't get a minutes peace.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 14/09/2019 15:15

Zoidberg I am indeed warm and friendly. Due to my extreme charm I have never had to buy my own booze ever!

I know two crown green bowling husbands who had an extra hobby of shagging lady bowlers on the side (or in the car on the way home- I imagine on the side would put other bowlers off).

Why the aggressive heading and post op?

I think it was the mention of the word 'bloody'. I for one am terrible offended Grin

We don't really have much time for long hobbies at the moment with small children with their own hobbies, work and general being knackered but I manage a bit of swimming and yoga and my husband does gaming (not shouting down a headset gaming- he's far too antisocial for that) and DIY.

He's taking a day off work next week to build a bike storage thing in our garden and he's very excited and keeps showing the plans to me. I hope I look enthusiastic enough when he keeps showing me because it's for my bike!

Lego and painting little plastic figures of zombies...

My house is like a blooming Lego showroom... sigh...

HomeEdRocks18 · 14/09/2019 17:41

Warhammer.

Diva66 · 14/09/2019 17:51

Motorbikes, target shooting and volunteers with Scout Association.

perfectstorm · 14/09/2019 17:52

Reading and sleeping, in this house. Probably why we're compatible - aren't shared hobbies always recommended? Grin

wolfmom · 14/09/2019 17:54

DP has several. Alcohol, trading card games and video games.

GetawayfromthatWelshtart · 14/09/2019 17:58

I like to think they are all off Dogging in a parking lot somewhere.

wonderful musician and song writer - plays most weekends and at home every single day - where is he - in his music room of course - more or less gives me whatever free time i want but i actually just love to listen to him - getting him to put songs on you tube at moment - also i go to about 60% of his gigs - he did a shit job and paid mortgage for us all for decades and deserves all he wants i reckon.

Ohyesiam · 14/09/2019 18:14

Marking homework. Wait, no, that’s just because he’s a teacher.

Birdie5577 · 14/09/2019 18:15

Customising 1/6th figures playing with dolls
And playing guitar

EmmaGrundyForPM · 14/09/2019 18:17

Dh does orienteering most weekends in winter. And - shock horror - he usually goes with a female friend of his.

In the summer we both cycle. Not competitively, more in a stopping off at pubs way! We rarely do more than 50 miles but we do wear padded shorts as we value our nether regions.

Ciara1234456 · 14/09/2019 18:19

Mines is the gym and watching documentaries. He tried to say my hobby isn’t a hobby. (Socialising with my friends)

madcatladyforever · 14/09/2019 18:21

Poncing about in a rubber catsuit and size 12 high heels taking photos of himself at all angles in the mirror and posting on fetish sites. Never took any photos of me, ever.
Now my exH thank God, I can't be doing with that nonsense.
I have rather more nerdish hobbies like embroidery and making dollshouse furniture.
