Saw a bunch of people walking through the town today, (Tynemouth to be precice) and thought:-
I did laugh out loud, thought they looked really daft. It wasnt the walking with nordic poles that I found amusing it was the fact that the location didnt seem to work . If they were up on the hills, It wouldn't have looked so funny , but in a town centre???
Anyway later on I thought to myself , Is there such a thing as a cool hobby or pastime? Something that you do that others dont laugh at?
If I tell people I play on games at 53 years old they think I am stupid. Golfing , gardening, keeping Koi, tropical fish, riding a old motorbike still with L plates on are all percieved as uncool to a lot of people.
So do you have a cool hobby that NO ONE will laugh at, or indeed say, Wow Thats cool? And what is the uncoolest pastime that you see people do?
