What you do for a living/what are your hobbies?

What things?

Sometimes you sound as if you could be Mr. Korano’s younger brother. And that is not a bad thing(s)!

korano · April 12, 2009, 12:10am

Ahem…What does that mean? ;D

Maybe it is possibly the thoughts that seem to run through the mind of younger men that is somewhat evident in our demeanor.

Carlos · April 12, 2009, 12:44am

HaHa! Yeah somewhat!
Hey guys, it’s ok to be and sound young. Don’t be in a hurry to grow up. Even us old farts were young once. It’s very refreshing to have the perspective of a new generation on an almost extinct genre. You, Silence, Rififii, etc. take us, who were young when these movies were young, back in time… almost.

As said before a good mixture of ages on the forum which is good.

Spaghetti_Monkey · April 12, 2009, 1:08pm

agreed

I_I_Idiot · April 12, 2009, 5:24pm

I can’t be the only one out here with a job, can I?

Pacificador · April 12, 2009, 5:55pm

Maybe so!

When I’m not working or watching SWs I enjoy historical fiction, camping, fishing, hunting and fine whiskies!

I also enjoy listening to and playing music and having taken the recent step in getting rid of our cable television have found that I have a lot more time for my assorted interests, as opposed to flipping around channels endlessly, never watching any one show.

I took degrees in English Literature as well as Computer Science, just to keep it interesting. I think I’m done with formal university education but never learning.

how can you find time to drink such fine spirits?

Pacificador · April 13, 2009, 1:41am

You make the time, amigo!

I used to work for USDAW (the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers). Had to reduce my hours and then finally give it up due to my daughter’s problems. Kind of miss it though, the training courses used to be a hoot.

So, being at home most of the time now, when i’m not occupied with the kid, my other interests are films and music obviously, writing (with a group of friends, varying between solo stuff, requests and collaborations…keeps the mind working i guess). Just got a big DIY manual so i’ll be trying my hand at home improvements soon. Should keep me busy

Hope your house doesn’t need Kim & Aggie to come over & help whip it into shape.

Silver · April 24, 2009, 2:53am

LOL…Christ no…It’s not filthy. I just want to make some shelving really…i’ve run out of room for the SW’s!

I_I_Idiot · April 24, 2009, 2:59am

We here in the States have houses that look like that but they are usually condemned. Try housing 3,000 LP’s into a 2 room spot with a girlfriend & 2 kids.

Silver · April 24, 2009, 3:00am

Hah…I’d rather not! No offense!

I_I_Idiot · April 24, 2009, 3:05am

Someday I might part with them…the LP’s, that is, not the family

I_I_Idiot · April 28, 2009, 5:37pm

Tuesday night. I’m off to play organized darts. I’m definitely no Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor.

Dillinger · May 6, 2009, 4:30pm

AAAAAh!

One of my hobbies as well. I like the smoky one like Ardbeg.

Silence · May 6, 2009, 5:33pm

Side by side with Earl McGraw, of course!

[quote=“Silence, post:4, topic:1707”]I like making my own short movies (in Lego). Here’s a link for my Youtube account:

I just watched some of these: they’re very, very good. How long does it take to make them?

As for hobbies, apart from watching movies, I like writing a lot. I write film reviews for my local monthly Parish Magazine, where I review films like Out of the Past (as the local Reverend is huge fan of Film Noirs, and especially likes The Lady from Shanghai) and Red River.
