Telford is one of the weirdest places I've ever been, is there anything there other than all those 80s glass fronted buildings and the shopping centre ?
I still had my place on over this way but I'd go down there in the week after work and stop with her, long story but she ended up smashing a load of my records and putting a stanley to my clobber I had down there.
I was moved to Telford when I was younger and grew up there, a seriously backwards place with no hope for anyone really. A sad place.

One of my teachers was from there and he'd always say it was backwards, just gotta get dragged around the shopping centre one saturday to see what type of people fill the place, never seen so many fucking eyebrow piercings.
I like my cars, im currently restoring a j reg Fiat Panda 4x4 Sisley with my Dad, he was in the motor trade for 30+ years so im learning from him. I buy a bit of vinyl but i wouldnt call myself a collector, i just prefer playing records on a turntable. Like some on here i also like antiques and collectables, i love going round fairs and car boots seeing whats on offer. Im mainly on the hunt for Man Utd pin badges, ive got about 200+ badges. I also like Horse Racing, i dont bet big, i only bet to add more fun to it.
Had a tropical fish tank running for a while that I find fills in a little spare time, but with starting collage not long ago has been keeping me busy and leading into some other art related stuff, started doing some art work for a band I know who are releasing an album, so that I use for spare time I have when not running after the pregnat wife! On eBay/ forums or just general staring at my jackets and see who goes next for the new arrival
] I am the face, She has to know me, I'm dressed up better than anyone Within a mile.
Been playing football for years now and although I've become a bit disillusioned with it this season I'm sure ill never be able to fully let go. Started Thai boxing a few months back and I absolutely love it at the minute. Also, can't beat going for a morning run a couple times a week.
Musics a big one aswell, been in to rock/indie for a good while but it's just become a stagnant scene now really, I've been searching through new bands recently and through the piles of madchester wannabes there's some raw quality. Big into house as of late, obviously acid but a fair amount of newer stuff aswell.
I'd have to say I'm interested in a good night out aswell, although they're few and far between in the capital of Devon.
Rallying. Would love to have a go at it but its too expensive. I've spectated since I was 5 years old in various locations around North, Mid and South Wales.
Music is a big thing too, it keeps me going. I love writing and journalism too. I'd love to get into it.
Getting run ragged evening and weekends by a three year old girl, shes got some good banter, and come march will have another to wear me thin. Putting fast engines in old volkswagens, currently a mk2 golf with a 230bhp 20v turbo engine. Dont get to enough gigs anymore and was once partial to hitting jumps on bmx bikes. Dont mind knocking the back out of our gert from time to time.
So many 'geeky' things I guess love retro consoles and also museums the other half and I try to visit new cities and enjoy killing a day walking around the museums,
Clothes is a main interest of mine, but I would say it is closely linked to a few other interests I've had over the years. I guess it all stems from music, grew up being exposed to wonderful music from my parents and their friends, got into hip-hop at a very early age, as years passed I widened my scope, today I listen to everything from nigerian funk to swedish balearic. Football obviously always have played quite a role as well, started playing and following Copenhagen when I was 6 and was very active in away games etc. during my younger years, not so much now as work and studying have taken over. I study sociology at University of Copenhagen, originally moved to London to study criminology, but couldn't get along with paying fees (education is free + you get monthly support from the state in Denmark). I spend a lot of time reading, but these days most of the stuff I read is relevant to my education, although I try to read some philosophy and existentialism (Especially Sartre, Camus and Strindberg). I've been into sociology, and particularly criminology for many years and it's what I hope to do in the future. Besides studying I work about 20 hours a week at Norse Projects. One of the masterminds behind Norse is a legendary copenhagen skater that I've known for many years. I started skateboarding when I was about 13, and the amount of inspiration it has given me over the years is beyond belief. Sadly I don't skate that often these days due to bad weather and lack of motivation, but during summer I always get out a few times a week. Oh and I really like taking pictures too.
The category of the prosumer commodity does not signify a democratization of the media towards participatory systems, but the total commodification of human creativity
Steve, the Fonze is a beauty. Been trying to persuade my lass that a staff is the way to go if we get a dog but she isn't convinces. She wants a German Shepard...
As for my interests. I like to (try and) cook and my interest in cycling is picking up. Just got shot of my car yesterday so I'm solely a cyclist now. Extra £££ towards a deposit each month.
Main thing would be our little lad Toby. Took a while to arrive with us. A couple of twists and turns on the way. The best interest ever. A few steps this week. Proper personality on him.
Used to be very much into clubbing allover/records/djing/putting on nights etc. As I near my 40's with aforementioned 13 month old. The going out happens far less (2-3) nailed on biggies a year really. Like the clothes though, I still can't stop collecting vinyl. Always buying from charity shops, standard shops and dealers. Pretty much anything with a groove, although I also like some of the modern folk were also seeing..
Other than that I love food/cooking it myself/ nice restaurants.
Gym (nothing serious) just to try and stave off the middle aged spread.
Cycling (see above)
Pubs (Real Ale) not a trend based thing for me. I think you just get bored of decades of lager and want something with more taste/variety/story behind it.
Used to be into football programmes in a big way. Going to fares and sourcing pre internet days. Can't be bothered now as got too many, eBay made it too easy and dropped the prices so my collection is probably worth bugger all.

Been in that boozer too. As I vaguely remember it's got some mad history behind it, connected to the College.
Day off today, so my outside interest for today is standing in WHS, watching my daughters spend half an hour trying to choose a new pencil case for school..

As well as a boxer I also have a blue staffy, a little pup who i'm guessing is around a year old. Took him in from someone who couldn't look after him (the twat called him Kimbo, says it all). Conversely i've found this one to be the most intelligent little creature, incredibly obedient if a little excitable, and not interested in other dogs apart from Stanley (the boxer). The boxer is 7 and is still as barmy as he was when he was a puppy.
