DCUK6 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Sunday afternoon, shops are shut and can't think of anything to do. PS3 ain't doing anything either Thought I'd post on here to use up a few minutes. Anyone else bored?
forkies Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Me too! Attempting to do some house tidying but ended up on my iPad...
DCUK6 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 It's the best sport but don't watch it. Just tried doing some housework. Put a few plates away but CBA and found myself back on the iPad. Just about to browse the mc Donald's website to see what I can buy cheap so I geto go on a drive.
comrade Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 How did people survive in the world before tech. I just wasted £5 renting a movie, load of rubbish and over the top. Too cold and dull to go for a walk.
6Foot2 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 How did people survive in the world before tech... One of the non-tech things I like to do is a good crossword [Cryptic or non-cryptic] Very satisfying to solve a knotty clue.
DCUK6 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 Used to do a thing similar to a crossword but with numbers. Haven't seen them in ages

elsiegee40 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) I haven't had time to be bored. I'm exhausted from watching the rugby! Sudoku can keep me quiet for ages. Reading is an engrained habit from childhood. And it's never too cold for a walk... Occasionally too wet, but cold and grey don't stop us. Edited October 18, 2015 by elsiegee40
comrade Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Not a fan of the crossword but my non-tech thing is reading crime books, life stories and so on.
3s-gtech Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Buy a classic car that needs work. You'll never be bored again! Frustrated, angry, bruised, but never bored... 1
abillybob Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Or just a general project. Mine at the moment (if I ever get round to it) is making a decent sound system out of MDF four tweeters, four speakers and a subwoofer.
dry Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Projects are the way to go! I'm currently converting a 1980s racing bike to a 'hipster fixie'. Currently disassembled the whole bike and just about stripped back all the paint ready for a respray.
Oaktech Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I drove out to a country park with a friend, went for a walk to the viewpoint, had soup and rolls out of a flask, came home, walked over to a local craft fair, paid a pound to enter and had a cup of coffee (or tea) and a piece of cake thrust into my hand as I walked through the door... That's what Sunday's are about! 1
Oaktech Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Buy a classic car that needs work. You'll never be bored again! Frustrated, angry, bruised, but never bored... Or have any money. (this coming from a man with 3 classic Hondas and a BSA)
HarryMonkey Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Had a great walk in the park with my girlfriend yesterday late afternoon, pleased to find the coffee shop still open at 4-30, so sat and had a latte and a chocolate cake, was a lovely day for a walk, nice and quiet and pleasant enough to sit outside with the coffee. (Then back home for lamb shanks).
sted Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Or have any money. (this coming from a man with 3 classic Hondas and a BSA) and that's why as much as id love one I cant bring myself to buy an old mk1/2 escort or even another mk4 eclipse (like my first car) even though ive found a few minters over the years)
JoeBloggs Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I watched my local Sunday team play football as I am injured at the moment. Not the highest level of football but plenty of passion and a good watch!
stitch Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Well I spent the afternoon on the final stretch of removing the crankshaft from a Lister Petter TS3 engine.
Tesla Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Ahh i miss my Sunday League football, was injured all of last season and this season my team folded...i'm not one to go out looking for teams though, only reason i started playing was because a few of my friends played for them. Wouldn't go to a team where i don't know anyone. As for boredum i can't complain about it at home otherwise the OH will want to go look at xmas decorations around all the shops!

Oaktech Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Well I spent the afternoon on the final stretch of removing the crankshaft from a Lister Petter TS3 engine. You poor afflicted man. You have my sympathy. Stationary engine or boat engine?
mikeprice Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Buy a classic car that needs work. You'll never be bored again! Frustrated, angry, bruised, but never bored... and broke??

We have a staff team here, and we play against other schools. Friday kickabouts are a laugh!
