Hobbies and interests - members lists

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.

    Hello bimblebee,

    Wow! You have almost identical special interests to my own. I am also interested in Russia since the October 1917 revolution, and particularly like Soviet music.

    Also, I am interested in politics and economics, but like yourself, I cannot do numbers - it is the ideas I am interested in. Am interested in Keynes, but I also have my own ideas about the economy which don't fit into any particular school. Neoliberalism has been responsible for a lot of crap in the world: it was first experimented with in Latin America, particularly Chile, where a Democratic Government was ousted by force with the connivance of the CIA in order to impose neoliberalism   on the populace: privatization, seizure of state assets, freeing up of the market etc.
