Out of curiosity I was wondering what topics outside of the 4x4 world interest everyone.
It might be rather revealing to know what 'Floats Your Boat'

For Example;
'Andy' like to go watch a bunch of big blokes chasing each other around a bit of grass shouting "Chase me, I've got the ball!!" :wink:

'Frankie-Boy' likes to play at Captain Pugwash on his holidays  :lol:

For me, I'm quite partial to;
Art-Deco architecture & design
Victorian architecture
1960's/early 70's American Muscle-Cars
Heavy haulage (the 'STGO'  & 'Indivisible Loads' stuff)
Cycling (but too old nowadays to do it properly - no racing!)
World Rally Championship
World Superbikes (still miss 'Foggy' & Troy Bayliss)
Sushi (don't often get the chance to indulge)
Industrial Heritage (we need another Fred Dibnah!!!)
Music (my own tastes naturally)
Reading (ditto)
Yorkshire scenery (best in the UK - ooh, I've opened a 'Can Of Worms' there :lol: )

If I'm not driving, spannering or cleaning HL, I'll often be found reading (Terry Pratchett, Bret Easton Ellis, Iain Banks, Kathy Lette), writing, nattering to peeps on the phone, taking Gay Max (my Collie/Staffie X) for walkies on the common, and warbling; I sing lead vocals with "Miss 'da Pink" -we're a covers band doing mainly 'girly rock with attitude' ( not 'gig fit' yet, but shortly to be available for weddings, bar mitzvah's, divorce parties................ :D  )



Oh, and, of course, riding the combo-hearses, but that's work..... :wink:

Your right about Fred :cry:


Though in recent times it seems that comedians do quite a good job of it
Chris Barry, Robbie Coltrain and the like and they add a bit of humour to it like Fred did though his was a lot drier  :twisted:

Interest out of 4x4 includes books and music, Scouts/cubs of which I am one of the leaders in Llanberis. V8serisone (MC member )being one of the others (Leaders that is I'm not interested in him [-X ).TV and Film being my favourite and the only sports I have any interest in must involve engines :D

I think I started a thread like this some time ago.  Me, you can add the following:

Computing in general
Model aircarft, mainly helis at the moment
Mini Motos
Collecting vintage gaming stuff

So all in all, you could probably say I'm a proper geek.

Arise Sir 'Piglet'

Lee; Yes, you're right, Coltraine & Barrie both do an excellent job with plenty of passion for the subject matter.
Then there was Mark ('The Fast Show') Williams with his 'Industrial Revalations' series

Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden?) is starting one on SKY soon about air-craft.

Well...  

Photography
Home-grown foods and drinks (jam, wine, scrumpy)
Playing with my lunatic dog
Computing (especially internet development and standards - how sad am I)
F1 and BTCC  (in fact.. most motorsport)
Lighting & Sound (a hangover from my previous career)
Live Music (same as above)
Cooking (when I get the time) - Love doing Italian or Chinese (from raw ingredients !!)

One of these days I am going to actually *do* one of the many vehicle-based expeditions I have planned in my mind...  and I've always wanted to build a hovercraft :-)


Plus, I am one of life's "tinkerers", always trying to design, build or "improve" something or other :-)

Just got back from there on Monday.  Went out there to look at the housing options and see if we could cope with the temperature in January.

Upshot is, we're submitting our applications this month. :D

Lighting & Sound (a hangover from my previous career)


Who did you used to work for?
 I am currently in that industry. Freelance Lighting Engineer. (LD) although I have been known to do a bit of sound.

My interests are:
Computers (used to work as admin on a large network)
Flying (started but haven't been out for a while, it's an expensive hobby)
Engineering (Watch discovery channel stuff like extreme engineering and extreme machines)

That's about it really. God I’m a boring sod
