[Closed] How boring are you?

He's a hero among men!

If you asked someone to imagine the most perfectly boring person ever there's a very good chance it would be someone called Roger and he would come from Switzerland

I tried writing my autobiography once. I fell asleep almost as soon as I began.

It's natural to become a bore with age, you simply run out of things to talk about.

Roger is far too exciting a name for a dull Swiss Man.

If I'd written that piece I'd have had to put in some wrong apostrophes.

I remember reading a plaque on a concrete bridge in Manchester that said something like "runner up for the Concrete Society Awards 2001" and just thinking, at last trainspotter's have someone to look down on. Then again, I was reading a plaque on a concrete bridge so apparently I'm pretty boring too.

Just ask yourself... what would John Richards say? WWJRS herein.

I notice most of those "dull" men get out and about to visit post boxes, bushes, roundabouts etc. Can't be more dull than sitting in front of a screen as a hobby, surely!?

He's a [s]h[/s]zero among men!

'''''FTFY''''''

Some top punning in those captions. Shame they used "[rhymes with lone] ranger" twice, but "Hedge fun manager" is a belter.

I'm on here...

I read that and then posted that I had.

Because I'm really cool, I spent ages trying to decide where to put that apos'trophe.

I used to go to college with a bus spotter. That is to say, a bus spotter attended the same college I did.

Nice bloke but slightly odd. Used to spend his lunch break going down to the depot and riding round on all the buses, knew all the drivers by name. Each to their own I suppose, it would be dull if we were all the same.

I wonder if they spend hours on the internet arguing about the relevant merits of different size wheels?

I know the Latin names of approx 65 percent of our resident amphibians and reptiles.

Interchangeable innit, unlike so many of these things there is no correct time to use one or t'other as I was taught.

I know pi to 65 decimal places, I can name every element on the periodic table and I like trains.

So to answer the OP's question: "massively".

If your on here, then without doubt you are a boring twunt, only other boring twunts will find your tedious prose of passing interest.
I am obsessed with pulling my whole body approximately 60cm up into the air and back down again for no apparent reason and then come on here and discus it with others who share a similar interest.

Drainspotting quite a good one. I often find myself reading the name of the foundry and point it out to my equally interested wife if it's from our home area, or indeed from miles away from the drain itself!

Jesus.

What tyres for bus spotting?

I think there's a more fundamental discussion they have;

"Do the wheels on the bus go round and round all day long?"

Let's not forget the importance of puncuation.Otherwise last week's headline " Ed Balls, deep in conversation " copuld have read " Ed, Balls deep in converstaion " ,which would have been frankly wrong.

Lawnmower collector Stan Hardwick, from Filey in Yorkshire, poses with his collection for November. Nicknamed The Lawn Ranger, he has enough in his collection to use a different one each day of the year and even keeps his favourites in the lounge.

Change lawnmower for bike and BINGO! Especially the keeping in the longe bit. Winners aplenty on STW...

I don't worry about being boring, I'd be more concerned if ever I felt bored.

Guess which one I know..............

My favourite comment was this :

"If I go to dinner parties and tell people I'm a cone collector they quickly move on," he said. "My children are slightly embarrassed by my collection. I store them in the shed, the garage, the greenhouse and even under the bed. Luckily they stack well".

" Ed, Balls deep in converstaion " ,which would have been frankly wrong.

As much as I like my balls I would not capitalise them.

"Luckily they stack well".

You'd think such an avid collector would know they're designed to stack eh.

I have a video of Boat Lifts of Europe, which I found very interesting - and I have visited more than one of them. Planning to visit some more...

I also try to note which way road the baggage carousels go at airports so that I can help out on dullmen.com, but I never remember when I get home.

I know a guy who plays the same golf course every weekend......

Let's not forget the importance of punctuation. Otherwise, last week's headline, “Ed Balls, deep in conversation” could have read, “Ed, Balls deep in converstaion”, which would have been, quite frankly, wrong.

I think I'm really interesting. I'm sure the wife will tell you otherwise.

CountZero - you missed one...

But standards have to be maintained, dammit!
