Interests you had when you were younger

ColeTrain

What interests or hobbies did you once have but now don't appeal to you in the slightest?

When I was in my early teens I loved wrestling. Now I would find it very hard to watch the current stuff. Maybe it's gotten sh*t or I just grew out of it.

But saying that I bet there's still people on here who haven't grown out of the stuff they liked when they were younger, please enlighten us.. Come on, own up, you with the Pikachu pyjamas step forward

Never drank from a knacker.

Actually about 6 months ago, meself and one of the girls went knacker drinking for the craic. Two 28 year olds knacker was weird. Few kids knacker drinking passed us and looked at us awkwardly.

Beating the crap out of bunches of nettles and thorns which had wronged me with sticks, even though saying that it doesn't sound wholly unappealing!

Yeah I stopped with that when I was like 24.

Wrestling. I used to love it but it's just like a glorified soap nowadays, I can't stand most of the new people and the gimmicks.

That's probably the only childhood interest of mine that I've given up on.

I think that was kind of the point of the thread!

My childhood consisted of phases of obsessions where I'd be madly into something and have to learn everything about it but then I'd lose interest in it after 6 months to a year.

Examples were (in no particular order):

Pokemon
Flags
Kings and Queens
Premier League Squads
WWF Wrestling
The Titanic
Cars

Indeed. There was so many variations, that magazine was ahead of it's time.

Also melting things and crushing things in a vice, usually my own toys, mindless destruction every little boys best friend.

westendgirlie

Drama clubs and auditioning for west end musicals.

My sister constantly told me I was a crap singer. Many auditions later and I realised she was right.

Oh god I was the exact same! I loved my drama clubs though I remember some of the singing auditions I did with extreme embarrassment!

I was hooked on it when it was the good old WWF, a glorified soap and one for a older audience too.

You had DX, the Nation and the Corporation cutting about. Thrown in was some cheap character development and the stupidest of storylines. Ah good times.

Ugh I also had a book called "Spells for teenage witches", I tried a money spell one day and 20 minutes later my granny who never came to our house arrived with 40pounds for me!
My dad found me and a friend in my bedroom surrounded by candles doing a spell, went crazy and threw all my witchy things away that was the end of that!

pragmatic1

Comics, burning stuff and horror films.

Ice87

Pogs.

I can't understand what the appeal was at the time. Banging a metal circle off a piece of cardboard circle. If you saw a child doing that now you would think they had problems.

Good call. Loved MOTU.

Later on I liked pro wrestling too. I used to use the He-men figures to represent the WWF guys and I'd have "events" with match schedules and ring psychology & moves & and pre-determined results. Ironic considering I actually thought wrestling was real at the time. In effect I was doing exactly what the bookers do without even realising it.

Lego, has to be lego, loved the stuff!

Pissing in muck and stirring it with a stick, gave it up when I was 27.

I used to start lots of things when I was younger, but lose interest and not finish.

Took a series of lifesaving courses with the aim of being a qualified lifeguard - gave up halfway through for no reason only it bored me.
Started playing piano, gave up after Grade 2 or something.
Bought expensive flute, started to take flute lessons, lost interest and sold expensive flute!
Took up karate, advanced to the yellow/white belt (which was the lowest, apart from the beginner white belt), and gave it up!

Collecting credit cards , pogs , wrestling , dinky cars im sure there plenty more :cool:

Collecting stickers. I had a big sticker book where they were all arranged neatly. I particularly liked the Sandylion furry stickers - they were my weakness.

What was I thinking? All they did was sit stuck in a collection book and I looked at them.

Tamagotchis. I cared for my little lad for quite some time...

I'm lying though the fcuker died nearly every week.

I used to stay up and record the live events.
