I think you spelt that futtering word wrong.

Foot-there-ing is how I know to pronounce it. So I figure your spelling is wrong. I am fascinated at how I'm always so right.

I am fascinated by how you figure I spelled a word that I have just made up wrong :P

Colour Catchers! You mean to tell me you can catch all the colour before it runs into my clothes?

If a Colour Catcher was a person i would be burned at the stake for witchcraft!

Very small stones.
I mean really really small stones. Tinchy tiny things.
And lots of them. Millions and billions and squillions of them.
And make them damp - not wet, just damp.

Fishing and walking for miles with no particular purpose

New socks. Put them on. Feel the first-time-wearing-sensation.

I think it's a sock losing it's virginity.

I got an official written warning in my previous place of employment for reading one of those when I was supposed to be working. Check out them hiking boots, nice.

The origin of words.

Love when I find out where words originated from. Usually from dictionary corner in Countdown !

You get them through the door? Fancy:eek:

I live right beside and Aldi and anytime I do my shopping in there I always look forward to picking up their magazine to see what weird and wonderful stuff they are trying to flog me. I'm convinced I need hiking clothes.

Stationery!

Gel pens, spiral notebooks, 2B pencils, big fat erasers, plastic folders... squeee! Stationery shopping was always the best part of going back to university.

Stars. And Space. Space is awesome, yet it only hits me just how awesome now and again if I'm outside on a clear night & the thousands upon thousands of stars are visible. Makes me feel rather tiny & insignificant, but in a good way. So yeah, Space is awesome.
(yes I know that sounds rather nerdy. Don't care, space is awesome!)

I agree with you - and I don't think it is nerdy at all.

It is incredible!

I love trains. I could watch them all day, I don't, but I could... At least I think!

The human body is pretty incredible, too

The beach gets sorted into sand, those teeny stones, slightly bigger ones then up to the ones you can't walk on. You can get those really tiny ones in a gravel suppliers, great big bags of tiny little stones, you really have to pick up a handful and let them trickle back into the bag.

Why do pebbles get worn smooth like that, but sand keeps sharp edges so it makes sandcastles?

An airplane.how something so ****ing humongus can get off the ground its amazing to watch.

And looking out to sea ...............just contemplating everything.

The way I can walk diagonally across a busy train concourse whilst holding a cup of coffee, thinking about ****, whilst my body automatically adjusts speed direction to avoid bumping into people.

Love train tracks. Dont know why. Just find it nice to stand on top of a bridge and stare down at them for ages.

Paper: its a sheet of pressed bleached vegetable matter, but when you take a bit of graphite you get poetry, epic stories, scientific formulae, diagrams, art, the secrets of life, shopping lists and more! Paper is what civilisation is all about.

Also I like looking at the sky. Often boring but sometimes the most fantastical, eerie, beautiful lightshows imaginable hang just a tilt of the head away. Yesterday we had bright blue evening skies with dramatic crimson, grey, gold and peach well defined clouds slashed by no less than three rainbows. I didn't even bother taking a picture, no camera could really capture it.

Why don't more people look up?

Mr Benevolent

Aircraft. Amazing vehicles, the complexity and thought required to design, build, fly and maintain them is staggering. And boobs. Boobs and curves are incredible.

You might get those things - I just get doodles, which are cool too, so it's all good.:D

Ping pong balls - it's amazing how quickly the time passes when performing the mental trigonometry required to correctly position your hand to recieve a small sphere of squidgy rubber that you've just ricochet'd around the room for no apparent reason other than to see if you could! Good times:D
