"Strange, Strange Hobbies"

At the Bus Station today, I watched this guy running around with a notebook and pen.
I thought: "What the hell is he up to?"
And then it hit me - he was writing down the serial numbers of some of the buses.
He was a BUS NUMBER COLLECTOR!
And he was very excited - in fact, he was practically having it off!

Now, is it me or do some people have the strangest of hobbies?

Anyway, I gotta go or I'll be late for my Tree-Hunging night school class.

It wasn't that bus station - but maybe he tours around the country in search of his missing bus numbers. I don't know if its sad or mad.

Ok i am now scared, was that guy at chelmsford bus station as i think i've seen him and i had to run to the next stop quick as i wasn't gunna get a bus there he freaked me out.

I know someone who collects old bottles. Every Sunday he goes out into the countryside armed with a shovel.

I'm only joking! You do know that don't you?

The strangest hobby I have is timing things! I used to be obsessed with timing TV shows, FMV (full motion video) sequences in games, because I used to really be into business. I used to add all the time together, and put three minute gaps in between, treating it like a TV show. Weird or what?

I've heard about people who are so mad about penguins they'll collect anything on them,and open websites on them.Not as strange as the person who's got the world record for the largest nasal fluff collection.

I keep writing 'hunging' - I mean "hugging" of course.
