We have a Hobbies thread for stuff we are into now, but what about things you used to like/love and can't be bothered with now? Main ones for me: Driving - I still love cars, and watch a lot of automotive YouTube content, but the actual task of driving I have completely gone off. I used to love it. I'd take my car out for no other reason to have a drive, it used to be my thinking time, my 'safe space' so to speak. I'd go to supermarkets 20 miles away, so I could spend some time in the car. Not know. Its purely used as an appliance to get from A to B, or A to Z. Combination of appalling drivers and roads that are a disgrace with teeth rattling potholes and endless roadworks and temporary traffic lights. Feels like a chore now. Maybe If I lived somewhere more rural, I would get my mojo back. Films/Cinema - Not fussed anymore. From going to the cinema circa 50 times a year in my twenties, to not going at all in the last 10 years. People's behaviour just got more shitty and entitled. I still watch the odd film on TV, but have no idea on what is coming out. Whereas I used to get all the magazines like Empire, Total Film and Premiere delivered.

Reminds me of this thread...

Maybe they choose not to accept the impossible missions?

On a similar note...

I think this place is great, definitely my dream type of property. Good value as well IMO, as you are buying 2 properties. The sad thing is that it now appears to be in the middle of various business parks. I bet back in the day it was just rolling fields @Seat68? https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/66837784/

Had a boozy evening last night in Brum supping some of Purity's finest. Longhorn, Lawless, Mad Goose and my favourite, a good few pints of Bunny Hop. I'm sure the headache this morning was a coincidence.

We don't need any help from that lot down the road. Any bronx hats for the babbie Tom? KRO SOTV MATE

Not a bad place, went there a few years back to watch FCUM play there. Parking isn't too bad by the ground from memory.

Excellent result. I did think about going today with a mate, but was feeling the effects of too many after work pints last night!

Pete must work at Halfords, as thats their usual method of repair.

Like an unflushable turd.

Tears of joy comrade, tears of pure joy.

Yeah, thats another thing I don't get - why do people feel the need to deface/ruin them? People are odd.

I think it has always been tough for people to get on the property ladder. My parents first flat after renting for years had a £50 a month mortgage, when my Dads salary was £200 a month before tax/NI/pension etc Its only anecdotal to me, but people now seem to want to have their forever home, in a nice area, as their first property, and not work their way up. Just IMO.

Banksy's artwork on buildings. Always gets huge crowds. Are people genuinely interested in it, or is it just an excuse to upload a photo to social media to look cool?

What will Erdo Pete think about the new stadium. Get Skip to open it!

I'm more rattled than a skeleton having a w*nk in a metal dustbin. I hope they build it big enough to fit the 250k they took to Wembley. Mate.

Reminds me of this

Nice bench, wonder how long before an inbred dingle defaces it.

I'm no expert on Salop, but everywhere I drive through, it seems really nice.

You mean putting songs on, in a particular order? only jokin' mate

Good positive story Rob. It would have been easy to stay in a loveless marriage if only for the financial aspect, but you gave it up for a better life. Fair play for starting again. On a separate note, i'm seeing a lot more people staying single now as they don't want to end up financially rinsed when they are older.
