Odd hobbies

[Spare tyre]

Who has an unusual hobby?

Just YouTubed the town in which I live and sorted by date to find a guy documenting the toilet facilities, from checking his YouTube channel it does indeed look like his unusual hobby

[Jasandjules]

No-one.

Well, it's hard to beat toilet video documentation!

We really are going to struggle here I think!

[PHmember]

I document toilet facilities & put the videos on YouTu... Oh...

I collect Christmas lights from the 1940s-1960s (the sort wired in series where one blown bulb puts the whole set out)

According to one subforum on Reddit, there is a group of people who make a hobby out of masturbating onto japanese female anime figurines, and then photographing the results.
I hasten to add that I was alerted to this practice by a comment about it on a different Reddit subforum, before anyone starts wondering what I was searching for....

Given your posting history, I'm not sure I believe you.

Just done the same for where I live it would appear that the village is a hotbed of trainspotting and northern soul enthusiasts........ As the KLF once said "it's grim up north"

There's a chap, who calls himslef Mesmoland, that documents fairground rides on video. Some of the films can be a bit tedious detail-wise but the walk-throughs can be good.

For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcNxav7W-m8

I just youtube'd my patch and all I found was footage of someone's wedding in the village church in 1958.
It is quite a small village in which I live

I can't believe he has followers! I wonder how many times he's had the st kicked out of him by people thinking he's a perv?

I remember in the 80s (or possibly 90s) the gloriously dotty Lucinda Lambton had a television series on public loos. Not your common or garden ones but ornately decorated Victorian architecture. It seems they re-published the accompanying book a few years ago:

No no, it's definitely odd.

Bus, train and plane spotters are still odd. I won't less them go missed in this thread.

By those definitions I need to add those that go out of their way to spot nice/rare cars. Sorry Supercar spotted thread.

I should add that my French colleagues think it very odd that us Brits have hobbies at all. They don't. They eat, smoke, love and watch le cinema.

I think they are pulling your leg - I know loads of French people who spend their weekends racing, karting, fishing, playing golf etc etc.
