What's your nerdiest feature?

    Is there something about your personality that is a bit nerdy? An obsession that maybe you keep to yourself or a collection you've built up over time? I think everyone is a bit of an anorak about something eg music, football, collecting callcards!

    For me, it's trains. I don't know why but I've always loved them. When I was younger I'd even get a bit excited at the sight of a railway track, never mind actually taking a train (sad.... probably). Had a few hornby sets as well. Now I'm not a train spotter or anything (would be a pretty pointless pursuit in Ireland) but I always take a train if it's an option. I'll take the Trans-Siberian someday hopefully, seven days on a train? Deadly!

    What brings out your inner nerd?

    Every morning, on the train on my way into work, I take out my laptop, listen to Lyric FM, and categorise my all of my emails from the previous day into the seventeen million and one different subcategories I have within my inbox.

    It's very calming ... :o

    I get far too excited about brains. Not in a zombie way, in a far-less-cool "what does this bit do!?" way :cool:

    I spend about 15 hours at day at my computer, this is divided up pretty equally between work, browsing, and watching television programs online.

    I collect National Geographics.

    I also think I talk in a nerdy sort of way, although others don't think the same.

    So you get a stick and have a poke around so to speak?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 147 ✭✭ConmanTheKiller


    I`d say the fact i`m studying physics in college, I wear glasses and I have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of stargate.

    I also love trains :D

    Even for AH thats not even kind of funny.

    The question was "what is your nerdiest feature"..not "tell us a joke and we'll judge you on it".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,803 ✭✭✭El Siglo


    I'd say it's my personality, I used to give grinds to people in my own class during my undergrad, and I used to give grinds to a few people doing their postgrads while I was still an undergrad. Also, I remember random pieces of information and I love environmental economics. Also I've red hair so that might be something.
