What's your nerdiest feature?

cashback

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?

The Big Red Button

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 ...

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.

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".

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.

Danbo!

When I have free time Ill drive to the airport and happily sit for hours watching and taking photos of planes.

Oh, where do I start?

I work in a computer shop repairing and building PCs.

I'm obsessed with trains, am a member of the IRRS (went on tours with them too) and I have a small model railway of CIE and Irish Rail stock.

I'm more interested in what goes on inside a TV than what's on the screen. I even collect Sky TV and NTL/UPC viewing cards.

I've a very obsessive passion for Irish folk music... and I fcuking mean obsessive. That's nerdy to some people, but fuck 'em.

Nothing really too nerdy, apart from having red hair!.

Oh, I do have a HAM radio licence and awards for CW (morse code) competitions, I'd say that counts as pretty nerdy!.

Oh there are Irish ones, just not as many. I know a couple of them who even work in Irish Rail. A lot of English spotters came over here for years as we held on to locomotive hauled trains but now that it's mostly railcars they've mostly lost interest.

Of course it is very offensive.Yes I listen to the news.I watch it too.If you called me an idiot or a c*nt(?) you'd be right, and I wouldn't ban you, because you are entitled to your opinion, which as I already agreed, is spot on. I AM an idiot.

However this is a public internet forum and I do, sadly, have the right to post whatever I desire once it stays within the parameters of the forum rules.

If you want to debate then PM me. If you think I'm trolling look at my post count and how infrequently I visit this board....if you just want to shout louder than me, go on ahead....I won't shout louder...and you win.

Wrestling is way up there on my list, so I'm definitely not a nerd.:P

/Not the crap that passes as Wrestling these days, but when Wrestling had the :eek: factor.

I've just turned 30 and I still buy Star Wars toys. Only last week I spent €200 on three figures! I also have a full size replica Storm Trooper helmet and also two working Light Sabers. I'm a bit of a star wars geek. I also love Red Dwarf and would happily watch that and Star Wars until the end of time.

+1. Except for remembering names, I'm terrible at that.
