I just thought I'd start a topic about what interests and hobbies we have.  Here's some of mine...

  • Tabletop roleplaying games, especially "Doctor Who" (the FASA, Virgin, and Cubicle 7 ones), "Serenity", "Victoriana" and "GURPS".
  • Re-enactment and LARP events.
  • Collecting Doctor Who inspired LARP props.
  • Collecting replica historical coins.
  • Collecting fake pound coins.
  • Video games; mainly, Fallout 3 and GTA at present.
  • Voluntary work; for 15 years, I have been volunteering for a local nature conservation charity.
  • Reading; mainly non-fiction (although I do like Dr Who short story books and collections) such as the Victorian era/1800s, the UK home front during WW2, UK home defence during the Cold War, NBC warfare, special forces, Special Operations Executive, the Goth subculture, amongst others. 
  • Drawing (when I have the patience).
  • TV programmes such as Doctor Who (been a fan since the 1980s), Firefly, Torchwood, Time Team, QI, Have I Got News For You, etc. 
  • Music - Carl McCoy/Fields of the Nephilim/Nefilim, Last Rites, The Eden House, Katie Melua, Midnight Oil, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, etc.
  • All things Goth and the Goth subculture.

    Hi,

    I have been very interested in some of the things people find of interest here on this forum and would like to contribute with some interests of my own.

    Since childhood I have a fascination with cars, statistics model numbers, rear light cluster shapes etc. I have a few passions these days the main one being the Top Gear series and DVD's of which I confess I have many. 

    Documentaries are also a passion of mine, many of which tend to be historical (usual related to the world wars). I do not have any interest in weapons, tanks and planes etc but my interest has always been how wars start and what life was like for everyone concerned. I have always struggled with the concept that there are 60 million people in this country of ours and each life has a story to tell and that has always worried me, not sure why.

    I have always preferred the factual to fiction with a few exceptions namely Stephen King books and anything related to Sherlock Holmes. I struggle with reading books so I have quite a comprehensive library of audio books as they relax me especially at night.

    As a hild I always had an encyclopedic knowledge of the TV listings which drove my parents a bit mad as I structured my life around the listings as a constant. 

    I hope some people can related to these issues.

    James
