What is your nerdy passion and hobbies?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I have a nerdy passion for history, most ancient and classical civilizations like the people who lived in the Nike Valley in Egypt or Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) or Carthage etc.
Bit of a nerd when it comes to stuff like and not afraid to admit it. |

"Mythology, particularly Norse and Egyptian.
Etymology: I love learning origins of words and phrases.
Wordplay: I love the ways language can be moulded and shaped for various effects."
Jesus Christ what is it with you D&D nerds? Rubik is into his greek mythology 😂.
Me personally? Probably my family tree, that's about as much I get I to hobbies and such, I try different things but I get bored very quickly, it's why I love doing the family tree stuff as I can pick it up and look, couple of years pass and I find new information.
I've tried tattooing (I have some questionable ones now) ukulele (there was reason) knitting, painting...I'm not allowed to buy anything hobby related now 😂 |

The Blues. Although I love all kinds of the music the blues is my favourite so much so I have explored its history and development and nuances very, very deeply to the point my knowledge is pretty encyclopedic... or very sad... depending on your viewpoint! Haha |

Graeco-Roman, particularly Greek, history (mostly social history)
Language, its effects, how to send messages and create pictures with words (this extends beyond just English)

I've always gotten the impression that we could have one hell of a conversation on the workings of language. |

Aside from my career which is nerdy AF in general…Not IT…btw I draw Comics and Storyboards for some of the more well know comics and studios. And I paint Warcraft miniatures despite never in my life ever having played a game of D&D or Warhammer in my life!

Oh dear. I think they're all kind of wankers 
The philosophical tradition handed down to us is a result of the oligarchic overthrow of Athenian democracy, which ultimately failed. Oligarchic thought became somewhere between discouraged and criminalised. Socrates was implicated in the overthrow, but fell within the terms of the amnesty - and those who came after him tried to continue the tradition of kaloi kagathoi (the great and the beautiful - think "born to rule").
It's all a bit "I'm just asking questions! Why are you oppressing me?"
It is also interesting how we write, rewrite, and reimagine various texts for our own contemporary purposes. It's now difficult to see Plato and Aristotle outside a theological lens, despite the fact they lived centuries before. |

"Anything to do with Tudor, Plantagenet or Anglo Saxon/Norse history for me.
Who is your fav Plantagenet King? "
I think either Henry II because he was so no nonsense and anti royal trappings to the point of funny. And I love how audacious he was - invade your cousin’s country and get him to pay your army to go home?! Or Edward IV because he seems quite laidback and knew how to have a good time 😂 |

Do you count the Yorks as Plantagenets? They adopted the name to sure up their claim to the throne, but I see them as Plantagenet Lite at best |

It just looks soooo satisfying though! And if I go all out now, it'll be worth it in the long run, right? 😇😅 |

When I had my toes on the edge of crazy coffee stuff, they said you could get an "acceptable" espresso setup, second hand, for £500 after grinder.
That was 2010 😱 |

Alien is my favourite movie of all time, nevermind just scifi 
But I also really loved the recent Dune adaptations as I love the book  Denis Villenueve does good sci-fi! |

Having given up motor racing as a participator a few years ago ( which consumes you financially and time wise ) I now taken more of an interest in 20c history including TV programmes and films on the talking pictures Channel. |

That's the biggest problem along with the maintenance. It's just a massive ball ache if you're not seriously serious about espresso 😳 |

Another history need here, Norman/ Plantagenet eras.
I also enjoy buying books, which I think it's a very different hobby to reading books. I think I'll need a number of years to get through all the books I buy. |
