One thing I have noticed is there isn’t a forum place for all things geeky.
Yes I know this is a place for swinging, but this place don’t have any place for geeks who swing.
I know many men and women who like comics, sci fi, fantasy and things surrounding Such as tv shows. It would be really cool.
Maybe a simple thread could work. Who knows?

"Can I bring my collection of Star Wars figures and ships?
We can talk about them if you want though "
I have a millennium falcon.
It’s the one that has quotes from the original movie built in and you can press various buttons and hear them.
It’s not a classic but I absolutely love it.

That must be quite rare, what’s the going rate for classic Star Wars merch? |

I think threads could work as aren’t most of us geeky when it comes to something? I love comics and some tv shows  |

I'm certainly a geek!
I work in physics, I play videogames in my spare time, and I love sci-fi and fantasy.
I speak a bit of elvish, and play D&D once a week.
Geekiness is great! 
Happy to talk about it |

I think it could be getting rare these days.
I’m not sure if it’s value but I’d never part with it.

Well, the physics I do is related to a future electron-ion collider, which is all about probing the inside of the proton, to figure out how everything fits together on the smallest scales
This I could literally talk about for hours...
For the games, I'm currently playing through The Witcher 1! Any Witcher fans?
I'm also trying to build myself up for a Geralt cosplay... I have the hair, but not the chin. Arms are getting there! Or were, before the gym closed. We'll see.
The Witcher is great. Lovely world to run around in, so much happening, so much nice little magic
And some lumberjacks arguing about which women's clothes to wear. It's sailing up there as one of my favourite games ever. |

We're both science geeks. I'm a biologist, S is geology/physics. We also both love random stuff like ancient warfare, S is a war gamer, sci-fi stuff, I learn languages for fun. We're both geeks and proud  |

S would love that. We go on holiday to geologically interesting places and our photos are usually of cleavage, just not the female kind |

I have too many projects on the go atm, but any spare time is being used to make an 8foot costume of the Hulk. "
Wow, that's really cool! You'll have to somehow upload some pictures when it's done |

London & Birmingham Comic-Con are really good. So how many of you would want to go to San Diego Comic-Con? |

Yes, at last some recognition. I'm a proud geek. In fact just been watching the new EP of Clone Wars, and Rosario Dawson is going to be the live action Ahsoka.
Well there goes any future meets. |

I’m married to a geek and nerd (same person) he has a PhD in physics and you need to be a bit of a nerd to marry him!
It’s a nice ice breaker if you are into something geeky/nerdy together.
Like we have 3D printers and a laser cutter. We love lego and he likes star wars and lord of the rings I like Star Trek and the Big Bang theory |

Ummmm if anything, I'd say the geeky people I've met are super sexed and raring to go! I seem to be accidentally drawn to geeks, that's to say I don't know their interests beforehand, but am drawn to them nonetheless! |

Does that make me a geek?
Brilliant. I have a thing for clouds. That's TOO mainstream though, innit.
I do have a 'thing' for electricity towers though. Think they're great!
I like clouds, I watch them rising before a storm and get excited lol.
And watching lightning. It would scare the s**t out of me as a youngster, but I'd was mesmerised and still am"
Watching lightning storms in the dark is brilliant! |

"Yes, at last some recognition. I'm a proud geek. In fact just been watching the new EP of Clone Wars, and Rosario Dawson is going to be the live action Ahsoka.
Well there goes any future meets.
Clone wars that on Disney plus?
Yes, final season, which start to run parallel to ep 3.
That will be good, I think them doing events surrounding the star wars universe.
Have you been watching the mandalorian?Seen all of season 1 and can't wait for season 2 to get Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka tano, that's a fab meet I would like. I have spoken.
Nice it’s going to be a good season, see that is the one thing which hasn’t been reconciled properly, the surviving Jedi of order 66, because there are many still. Plus there are Grey Jedi about, their is also an Obi series in the works. The new movies are either set in the High Republic or Old Republics, not sure which one they've come for
That would be exciting! Hope Euan McGregor reprises his role as Obi Wan!He is "
oh happy days! |

"Can I bring my collection of Star Wars figures and ships?
We can talk about them if you want though "
I got some in the box collectable star trek figurines from the early 90s and put them in my fish tank with a sunken enterprise |

"I’m married to a geek and nerd (same person) he has a PhD in physics and you need to be a bit of a nerd to marry him!
It’s a nice ice breaker if you are into something geeky/nerdy together.
Like we have 3D printers and a laser cutter. We love lego and he likes star wars and lord of the rings I like Star Trek and the Big Bang theory"
can I move in and fall in live with you both. I'll be whatever action figure you want me to be as long as you put me back in the box when you've finished with me. I have a geek/nerd addiction and theres no help out there. |

"Totally up for geek talk! I'm in the process of setting my new aquarium which is Star Wars themed. So far have an AT walker in there, the Millennium Falcom and Vaders helmet "
I have a Walker from star wars the enterprise from star trek some 90s collectable (was in box now in tank) star trek figurines and a stargate that bubbles... that's what caused the cross over in the tank. I pretend that the tardis was there but escaped because, well it's a time machine and can. |

"B just spent a few hours last night starting to paint warhammer minis. He wanted to get into it for a while so picked up a few issues of the magazine. "
Painting models such a time consuming process but it’s worth it. |

S has just bought more European Infantry soldiers to paint, era 1450-1500. He spent ages putting them together last night, they are fecking tiny! He also paints Warhammer too, but he's going through a phase of "real" warfare figures. |

Love finding out the inner workings of things, totally fascinated by it. Really enjoy shows like How It's Made, most documentaries I'll happily watch and we're currently going through Mythbusters again.
Big horror fan (scifi and fantasy are well up there too), got a nice collection of merch and props from comic cons through the years. My pride and joy being my Freddy glove and Nightmare on Elm Street signed merch. Met Robert Englund and Chris Judge a few years ago which was awesome never thought I'd get to see them in Scotland. Chris is actually the coolest and most chilled guy ever I couldn't get over it he was such a sweetheart!
Oh and I'm a lover of Starkid musicals! If you've not heard of them you are in for a real treat...
Feels good to let the geek out a bit Kay x |

It does require patience and a steady hand to do those. |

I looked into picking up a set or a job lot, but the price just didnt set it much apart from a new set. They certainly hold value lol. |

My mistake was allowing myself to paint them at a young age, they look awful although I made a good job of the GorkaMorka ones |

"Well, the physics I do is related to a future electron-ion collider, which is all about probing the inside of the proton, to figure out how everything fits together on the smallest scales
This I could literally talk about for hours.."
Can we switch jobs, please? That sounds amazing and I am very envious! |

This is very true lol. Thought about venturing down to a games workshop or something to try to get a sample game, but I know I'd end up sinking major cash and having no one to play lol. |
