So what turns you on???
Apparently BoJo makes bus models...

Although after reading that I doubt he's made more than one.
So, apart from watching the Trotters, and masturbating to Adele, what turns you on?

Re: So what turns you on???
To break the ice, I'll admit to a number of weird hobbies.
One of them is collecting earthworms - I have a series of composting bins, and occasionally I'll add another. The inhabitants are very important, and when I meet fellow successful composters, we swap earthworms. Harmless but fun.

Re: So what turns you on???
I've had all my wierd and wonderful pastimes, been there, done that stuff, bought the T-shirts etc, all sorts of dance including Spanish, learned Spanish language, building model ships, reading anything and everything, collecting all sorts of music etc. Now I just follow the Whites and International women's football on T.V, draw and paint, read, walk the dog and collect assorted fifty pence piece designs (Beatrix Potter collection, Commonwealth Games etc, etc). I managed to get a Sherlock Holmes one yesterday. I'm happy enough just ambling along at paseo speed now.

The one thing I really don't understand about them, or you is the amount of time you take to get all the rigging to scale, etc, and then leave them on top of a fxcking bookshelf!
I once showed my father-in-law, who was one of you, a mocked up photo of the deck of HMS Victory with Nelson lying mortally wounded covered in Huge Cobwebs. He at least then took his ship through the equivalent of an Atlantic gale and squirted all the shit of it. He died some years ago, and I'm now the reluctant owner of a perfect 1 to 350 scale model which sails the unseen seas atop my bathroom window shelf.
One of my not quite owned up to reasons for why my young puppy was allowed access to the bathroom was because I was hoping she'd savage the fxcking thing. She never did. It sits there to this day gathering more dust than an unlicenced tip on the edge of New Delhi.

Re: So what turns you on???
My great weakness is collections. I collect all sorts of shit. But my best collection, I reckon, is my collection of 'newspapers' from my birthdate 63 years ago. It started when my wife bought me a copy of The Times for my birthday just over thirty years ago.
I've since expanded it to include a copy of every major published in the UK that day plus a copy of each major newspaper from France, West Germany, Russia, etc. I've got local papers from Kansas, Hawaii, Melbourne, Osaka, Liverpool, Orangeville Canada, etc. I've got specialist publications with my birthdate on like Panto mags from Cambridge, seed catalogues in Nebraska, a missionary mag from Papua New Guinea, a 10th Year Anniversary Edition of a copy of a Prisoner of War magazine from the ex-prisoners of the Cabanatuan Camp, etc.
I have 239 publications made (or rather, dated) to that specific day. I'm finding them much more harder to find, which makes them that much more pleasurable to discover.

Re: So what turns you on???
Aside from Wanderers, outdoor pursuits, dog walking, music and telly, not much.
I will confess to always fancying having my own model railway. They look great but I have neither the room in the house or the desire to have the Mrs take the piss out of me!

Model railways, and before that Scalextric, are the two things I have fancied and never (been allowed to) indulge in.Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 5:45 pmAside from Wanderers, outdoor pursuits, dog walking, music and telly, not much.

Ain't it the truth. I have four, and keep threatening to build a cabinet for them (Two of them are three feet long by two and a half feet high.) Grandkids love them though.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 4:52 pm

Re: So what turns you on???
Oh, and I've done a family history called "Growing up in Bolton" with write-ups and pictures of the first 20 years of my life (till I got wed). It was fun compiling it and I'd put a copy up here for comment if I knew how. I saved it as a document then e-mailed it to myself so I can always access it wherever I am. (Good job I did when my last p.c packed up No idea how to bring it to the site though?

Re: So what turns you on???
Now that really does need saving. The amount of stuff that gets lost over the years, decades, and centuries is truly staggering. And just because everybody's Facebook timeline might, just might, be retained in the future, is still no substitute for a proper account from the pre-internet age.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 6:37 pmOh, and I've done a family history called "Growing up in Bolton" with write-ups and pictures of the first 20 years of my life (till I got wed).

I have one myself. I've explored ways of preserving it beyond my death. I'm going to set up a trust to try try and preserve stuff. If you send me your history I'll add it in. (Free of charge, no scam. Just future proofing).
