So some people have suggested there aren’t enough fun discussions so here’s an idea. We all love our special interests. But just listing them might be dull. So we are going to catagorise and sub categorise our special interests.
so what I want you do do is not only list your special interests but try and group them with each other and the other special interests people have named.
I’ll go first.
