Strange Hobbies

[Section_31]

I used to temp for Eddie Stobart in the offices, and every day you'd spot someone creeping around the parking area taking pictures of wagons.

 

They were called "eddie spotters" apparently.

 

Now bare in mind that unlike, say, trains, all of these lorries are the same, the same paint job, the same make, just completely the same, except the fact that each one had a girl's name on the front. (the cab's were all called "Emma" or "Sally" etc)

 

But people had actually traveled miles, sometimes hundreds of miles, to take pictures of a CAB!

 

Can anyone beat that?

Does wanking count as a wierd hobby?

Thats not weird. In fact if you didn't it would be weirder.

Strange, I was going to post a similar thread today when i got the chance, mine was going to be about amateur theatre/musicals as I went to watch one of my friend's girlfriend in a musical yesterday and it got me thinking, not many people do musicals or theatre now and it could be classed as "weird" so I was going to ask the same, who has hobbies of an unusual creative nature?

[dirty_sanchez]

Woohoo! I'm normal!

[Guest PaddyBerger15]

I collect Armadillos.

[dirty_sanchez]

Actually, I do have an odd hobby thinking about it. Not so much any more, but I used to be right into Origami. not shitty stuff like them birds with the flapping wings, but proper massive detailed models which took several hours to make.

When travelling on a motorway I always try to spot what the name is on the front of the cabs, but stress that I'm not sad enough to go round taking pictures of them.

I practise Kyudo (japanese archery). The man in this picture isn't me. He's actually good.

^^^ Fucking ace!

 

Aren't some of those bows about 8ft high?

 

I remember reading about a Samurai with a fucking immense bow and he could put arrows through two fully armoured soldiers at a time, some kind of Jap Robin Hood I think..

That skirt thingy looks like it's been worn straight out the wrapper.

About that, yeah. Just over two metres, usually. Unfortunately I've never had the chance to test the armour theory as we just fire into boring old paper:

 

 

There is a story about a student in Japan who bent down to collect the arrows as someone fired and the arrow went straight through their head so it's probably possible!

Oof, I could teach people some ironing techniques, I tell thee.

I once went out on a date with a scottish lass and things were going well until she told me she was a member of the Eddie Stobbart Fan Club.
