Special Interests

I don't mind calling an obsession an obsession if it occupies every waking hour of my day, though it seems to be increasingly un-PC and now we talk about 'special interests.' All that aside, what's everyone interested in?

For me as a child it was dinosaurs, then Ancient Egypt and then Pokemon, in that order.

  • Reading other peoples diaries - spent years of my life reading the writer James Boswell's diaries, Pepys etc. And piano playing was great, all those repetetive scales and arpeggios. Also Class Vll C U Boots - not sure what that was about but I ended up knowing a heck of a lot about them!

    What are they??

  • Hello Spotty, yes they were the 'workhorse' sort of German submarine during world war ll. I could provide more detail...! I don't really know what happened but I watched a great film called Das Boot and really got involved in reading and film etc.I've even got a nice little airfix model of one somewhere. I'm laughing whilst writing this, it just seems so funny now!
