taken you somewhere that he/she found sooo interesting and you were bored out of your mind? If so, where?

On my first visit to Kent I found myself on a tour of Dungeness Nuclear Power Station. Can anyone beat that for boredom?

Usually cricket grounds, Chris - yawn!

OMG Wend - but at least you can take a book, or knit or sleep. The most exciting bit was on my way out when I got checked for activity!

Wouldn't dare, Chris, I'd get an elbow in the ribs!

Football match. Hundreds of people shouting instructions.

Spurs v Saints

What we suffer in the name of love!!!!!!!

I'm normally taken on what is supposed to be a really special outing just for me when low and behold we turn a corner and there is.....a steam railway.

And there always seems to unexpectedly be one wherever we are on holiday... :-D
I whack him playfully around the head and say I've fallen for it again!! :-D

To see yet another military aircraft, I get all the details, where it was built, what year, where they fly from. Now the red arrows I do like to see but when we go out in the car and OH gets his binoculars and camera to take with him I have a good Idea our outing will involve aircraft.
:-\

He thought he was taking me somewhere really dull once. For a birthday he took me to the Festival Theatre to see the Tempest and pepared himself to sit it out.

To his utter delight and amazement he loved it.

Oooh Yes. Fishing.

Sitting on a river bank, in the middle of nowhere. Freezing cold.

Rats squirming in and out of the grass. Cant talk, would spoil the concentration. Cant walk by the river - the fish can see me. Cant listen to the radio, the fish can hear it.

Just sit there, hour after bleeding hour.................

Ah happy days. lol

:-0 :-0

Yes to see his mum and dad , and all they talk about is golf

Beaulieu National Motor Museum.

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Model Railway exhibitions - b o r i n g

Anywhere where there is a large display of weapons or armour - bronze age, medieval or more modern.

Mind you, he'd probably enjoy Dungeness Power station where he'd give the guide a run for his/her money.

Power stations, steam trains, aircraft, bring 'em on! I even went to a footie match when we stayed in London a couple of years ago (West Ham) and enjoyed it despite being very unsure!

Our interests are pretty similar, and he doesn't 'do' surprises (neither do I) so disappointment is unlikely.

Things that bore me - parties, big social events, weddings, night clubs and shopping (more than 2 hours worth) :-D

. . . and I love a bit of the old Hokey Cokey :-D

I thought I was in the minority until Sheila 'spoke'. :-) I love aircraft, steam trains, old cars, even power stations. Football, cricket, no but wouldn't get taken there and my OH also doesn't do surprises, half our fun is preparing where we want to go. We share the same interests more or less, I can tolerate golf because I had a go at playine. maybe I get bored when he starts on mobile phones (he buys fixes and sells them on) but we are both into photography so anywhere that gives opportunity for photos is OK by me. (Oh, he has never fished, think I'd read though if I had to go).

Actually, my old man and I both have different interests, but we muddle along together very amiably, without being in eachother's pockets. It makes me happy when he's happy doing what he enjoys and vice versa.

I dumped mine on the way out! :-D

Mine had some preconcieved ideas about women when we first met and what they liked to do.

I introduced him ti my girly pastimes very quickly. Like the first Sunday we went to the scrapyard and he was horrified that they knew me by name in not just one but two of them.

He had grown up being dragged around shops and is still waitng for his next session.It won't be with me.

He is the only person I know who can be bored in a library.
