Do you have any hobbies/interests which you think your mates would probably rip the piss out of you for having, and so don't tell anyone?
Mine would have to be trains... Not to the extent of going down to stations and logging down train numbers, or buying train magazines or shit like that, I am just quite fascinated with the engineering, how they work, how you drive them etc. etc. Probably not that weird an interest as most of you lot have the same interests in cars?
My favourite trains would have to be the older rolling stock from the London Underground (60s/70s, especially the old ones that were on the Metropolitan line with the wooden floors).

Planes. Similar to your fascination with trains I guess, it's not to the point where I go plane spotting, I just find them interesting.

Having said that, I went to Farnborough air show 2 or 3 years ago and found it pretty dull other than the displays in the air.

I'm interested in crime, documentaries, books, videos, films, anything related basically. Reading about killers and such.
That can be anything from watching documentaries on gangs to watching videos of people being killed, watching videos that the general media don't want us to see, and reading the stories behind the videos.

Yes they were supposed to be replaced by the S stock but when I was in London a few weeks ago I went on a refurbished A60 - wooden floor replaced with lino and new seats etc. but still the same train.

War, and anything to do with it.
I have a keen interest in Special Forces units, mainly UK based (SAS)...which works out well, because the my Mrs parents live in Hereford, so i insist on driving past the bases each time we go and visit
I also have a huge interest in planes (Air Crash Investivation is a quality show) and crime (serial killers mainly) and guns.
