[EternalOptimist]

Here is a whacky idea for a hobby. Might even make a good plan B also.


Stained glass windows.

BUT..
with a modern theme, rather than a religious one. Like a man with a zapper pointing at the telly. Or a kid on the PS, or a mum pushing a pram, or a tescos shop front

etc

jeeez, I will show you how to play the dijeridoo.

I bought a dijeridoo with every intention of learning to play, but that darned circular breathing, I can't get the hang of it.

Strange that all the high profile cases of child abuse in the press are all people who've "passed" a CRB check.

Everyone will pass the test until a first offence.

Makes you wonder about the state of those that 'failed' it!

[Churchill]

Do you think he'd pass the kiddie fiddler background checks?

Change the next generation?

Be a volunteer leader for:
- Scouts
- Air Cadets
- Boys Brigade

or some other youth organisation.

It is unless you are under 12.

Fencing is too gay.
Martial Arts is too much like hard work.

Archery is a good option, best yet!

How about reenactment ?

It can be a very consuming hobby, and a chap at work here does it. They're sticklers for authenticity in their chosen era, and they organise mass pitched battles across the UK, with every weekend in summer taken up with an event.

During the winter months, they prepare for the coming summer, polishing and repairing kit, practicing their riding skills (he's a cavalryman), organising socials, etc.

Pick an era and immerse yourself in it. It's a great escapist hobby, in which you get to educate others about the time period, and get paid for it as well.

Cool!

I want one.

[Diestl]

I can assure you, climbing is not boring.

Fear of heights? Fair enough.

What about fencing? Social, appeals to the psychopath in us all.

Archery?

Martial arts?

Why not think.

solve the question of free will.

is there such a thing as free will ? or are we subject to determinism ?

Not recommended, did that one the other week after watching a programme about Calvinism in Scotland. The subject can get quite depressing.

Conversely a real spy’s job would be boring like IT, especially if you were planted as a sleeper.

You're not trying to imply that James bond films aren't accurate documentaries are you?

I've just found out my whole life has been based on a lie? :sobs

[conned tractor]

Beer making or wine making.

Keeps you out of the pub.
