    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.

    Playing with my He-Man figurines.

    By the power of Grayskull!

    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.

    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!

    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

    I went through the exact same phases examples:
    Airports
    trains
    wanting to live in different countries
    NASA
    International space station
    Countryside
    Elections
    wars

    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.

    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 used to stay up and record the live events.

    Wrestling definitely. Man United up until I was about 12. Just lost interest in soccer really but before that I was obsessed. Cried when they won the treble. Scalextric! Still get a bit of a thrill thinking about buying a set when I start earning money.

    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 :)
    stop slagging my pikachu jim jams:D


    killing rats down by the river bank at the back of my house
