Bond Movies? Good man. I know a little about the American Civil War, too.

Aside from the Role-Playing, Card Gaming and general sci-fi interest, there's the cricket (DON'T talk about the Ashes right now, please), and a few historical interests (Napoleonic Wars, Battle of Britain).

Oh, and the writing of course.

Not much a mainly housebound guy can do, really.

phinney6
Then again I am from New England and ur from britain, so I think our historical interests will be different, I have changed my mind, My new favorite Bond movie is "from russia with love"

Ushgarak
Mine's Thunderball. FRWL is a good film, to be sure, though it was not much like the other Bond Movies, being a normal spy film without the slight fantasticism of the others. It was almost believable!

As for history... well, I doubt you know much about the BoB, but then I DO, as I say, know something of the American Civil War...

phinney6
I think FRWL Was like other bond movies exept
the plot. Whatis your favorite Star Trek Movie

Ushgarak
II and VI. I did just post in your films forum topic, actually...

phinney6
My Favorite War movie Is "The Battle of the Bulge" and my favorite wrestler is Ric Flair

Ushgarak
AH, Battle of the Bulge...

Actually, I think there is a whole topic in the movie forum about what your favourite war film is.

phinney6
Did you like the movie, Also My favorite military leader was the famous GENERAL PATTON

Ushgarak
Who could not like Patton? Mind you, the man was barking; he was one of tbose who wanted to team up with the Germans againt Russia.

A bit of nuttiness is handy in a General.

Gundark
Other interests.....hmmm....besides SW ?

Cooking
Writing
Reading
My dogs
Oh yes, I almost forgot...Tom.

phinney6
The Cold War wouldnt have happened if he did do it, I really dont think he would let the germans run the army though, he would just use their soldiers.

JediOasis
Lately I've really been working on music. I'm learning to play the guitar, at least trying to teach myself. And I've been writing songs, its a lot harder than I thought it'd be. And I've also started playing tennis a lot more. I played in high school but haven't played much since, but I've picked up my racket a lot recently.

Ushgarak
How can ANYONE not like a series where the lead in series 2-5 was in Tron?

finti

Ushgarak
Yes, Tron WAS pretty poor... they are still considering a sequal as well...

Now, Last Starfighter... THERE is a film that made an impact...

finti
It actually didnt but it was a cool story and film though. Tron sequal yikes. Guess next is a Footloose sequal as well, (looks for Kevin Bacon)

phinney6
I am an avid GI JOE collector, (They are going to be worth something) I am trying to find the 12 inch Doll of GENERAL GEORGE SMITH PATTON JR

mechmoggy
Whoever mentioned Ric Flair should know that he was wrestling when I was a kid - he's always been a cool customer.

Any spare time is carefully divided between Mrs. Mechmoggy and the pub. Although not always divided equally I should add. wink

Gundark
Oh totally cool there, Texas. A fellow Lego lover. My brother (he's 49) and I are hard core lego maniacs. The legos are all at my parents house for the grandkids and he and I play with them whenever we're there for picnics or holidays. We also play no-mercy battleship. One time he put his aircraft carrier in his shirt pocket. So later, when we had dessert, I put an olive in his coffee cup. evil face

I also confess to being an electronic pocket yahtzee junkie. I bought it for Tommy, but I play it all the time. Do you think they have a help group for people like me ? laughing out loud

phinney6
I mentioned Ric Flair and Flair was god in the 80's. I love Lego's two Gundy and GI JOE's

phinney6
HEY EDNA ANY OTHER INTERESTS

Edna_witch
Me? Well I'm afraid I'm the arty type! I do a lot of drawing and sewing. Very creative. Make lots of hangings and things. I make jewellery too and my sister and I sell it at the village fete every year and make friends necklaces and bracelets and things for their birthdays. Other than that not a lot. Exceot my dad and I like walking a lot.

Ushgarak
And very nice bracelets they are too...

Edna_witch
Oh no Ush not jewellery like that. Friendship bracelets are things you make when you are 12. We make proper jewellery. We found this amazing shop you see and we started making a few things that the lady showed us how to make and it just expanded from there. Now we do our own designs and a lot of it bares resemblance to stuff you find in the shops. It's great! My friends love it as they get great jewellery at a fraction of the price!

Ushgarak
Yes you did post to me about that before... quite the hidden nest of talent, aren't you?

Edna_witch
Well only in the creative area. However I have no sporting talent and very little musical talent. I can sing and that is it. All that talent went to my sister. She is the pianist and the flute player. She's damn good too. It makes me sick!

Ushgarak
But can't handle a digibox, eh?

Edna_witch
Oh god no! I don't know what it is with my family and the telly. I seem to be the only one who can use it. I dread to think what would happen if I ever asked them to set the timer!

Ushgarak
Older siblings are all the same...

Gundark
Bet she can carve a helluva jack-o-lantern !

phinney6
HELLUVA JACK-O-Lantern

phinney6
I am Jedi Master thanks

Texas
Oh Gundark you dont need help, your a role model for us all! I love Legos, I like to build tall skyscrapers and bridges, the tallest building I built was about six feet, but then I started having structural problems and had to have a demolishing ceremony sad

Ushgarak
OOhh! Nice one.

Texas
Oh so now your rubbing it in my face are you Phinney6, you just dont know when to stop, We'll let me just inform you Phinney6 that situations like these end with someone getting hurt evil face ......... big grin

phinney6

Texas
Oh Phinney6 your shameless friendship attempt has come too late!! rubbing your Jedi Master status in my face will go unforgiven mad

Ushgarak

The only thing Edna, that goddess of a woman, has to look out for is my handsome good looks and sexy muscular body! wink

Ushgarak
But how to convince Edna that I was right about him? Ooh, plot twist...

phinney6

Ushgarak
Well, to think Edna trusted you as a friend, Texas...

Ushgarak

phinney6
OMG I got out of hand sorry TEXAS!!! *Helps him up*

Texas
And just to let you know USH, I will show Edna the bruise you gave me, maybe she can kiss it and make it better wink

Texas
Oh my goodness, I am sorry for falsely accusing you USH, It's just that I am blinded by witchy love! wink

Texas
See, this just proves my point, Phinney6 becomes a Jedi Master and he starts punching board members.....OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

phinney6
Texas you have no idea what you are getting into, Ush, Me, RC, Gundy, Queeq, Dim, and Edna. Are like a group so you have no idea the loyalty i have for this Group, thay tutored me on how to become a jedi MASTER.

Ushgarak
Blinded by Witchy love? Oh my...

Texas

phinney6

Ushgarak

phinney6
