Yet again. Please. Just say what your husband’s bloody hobby is.

[AliciaQuays]

Stop all this highly irritating coyness.

@Littleandoften 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!

I don't think it was me but I used to go to karate with Lewis Collins from the professionals back in the day.

Flying tiny remote control helicopters... really!

This thread kind of proves the OP's point. There really aren't that many outing hobbies, for pretty much all the hobbies mentioned on this thread I know or have known somebody who did them.

The only hobby I have seen lead to relationship breakdown is triathlon.

And nobody has mentioned allotments...

Mine collects plastic carrier bags..

Drones.

Building them, fixing them, flying them and (if he can part with them) selling them.

He also makes metal art, mostly animals.

Rugby union.

sitting on his arse in a chair watching ANYTHING AND I MEAN ANYTHING ON TV ,to avoid helping with anything useful,

It’ll be gaming. Men are even too embarrassed to admit it themselves.

I hate the word "hobby". It seems so old fashioned and I don't hear it used in real life anymore. People say they "cycle" or they "run" or are into "amateur dramatics".

Nobody ever says they have a hobby these days unless it's trainspotting or stamp collecting

Collecting hole punches.

Petrol powered remote control cars.

So expensive.

I.just saw this

My husband passed away last year unexpectedly! I wish he was still here driving me up the wall over the rugby and fishing. None of us know what's round the corner

Wargaming. Is there anything more boring? Spending hours, days, months...nay, years painting hundreds of 6mm soldiers of some obscure Greek/roman/Thracian (where on Earth is Thrace?) and then moving around an imaginary landscape? I’ve had 30+ years of it, and still feel totally underwhelmed by it all. But it keeps him out of too much mischief. I love him really!

DIY . Luckily he is really good at it. Unfortunately, his other hobby is playing the accordion.

Mine owns those ride on minature trains. And fixes them a lot. He also has a land rover in permanent need of tinkering. But it's me with the geeky habits I don't confess online

If I was to refer to DH’s hobby of creating massive marble runs in a thread, it would probably derail the thread with lots of people commenting on the marble runs instead of the actual topic of the thread

Dunno about that

@Thewheelsarefallingoff. I'm glad I'm not there only one!

DH used to have fab hobbies but these days it's mainly just marathon poo sessions whilst watching videos about 'when things go wrong' on YouTube.

Oh Keffie so sorry for your loss. That is such good advice, we should appreciate our loved ones every day. xx

Golf

So bloody true.

I have a hobby. DH has a hobby. If I name them both then it massively increases the chances of me being recognised online. So YABU

HepzibahGreen do you live in Sheffield by any chance? It’s MAMIL/climbers city. Not complaining tho as I am one of them
No, but I am North England.
Also, have you no shame?

Effing cricket. Only when it's rained off do we get asked "shall we go somewhere today?"
I'd ban the bloody game if I could.
Watch on tv. Watch the highlights of the same frigging game an hour after it's finished. Followed by repeated highlights of said game before the start of the next game the following f......g day.
I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.

My dh hobby seems to be buying minute computer parts from the internet. Hopefully he's not building my robot replacement.
