Just a general topic to strike up conversation and to get to know this community and share a little about me in the process. I love Lego as well as transformers. Due to space issues, I often find myself building custom minifigs more than actual building, but it happens occasionally! This is my Flickr page. www.flickr.com/photos/149318173@N05/I have been working a lot lately on custom decals, something that I may be able to transfer into my Transformers collection. I also love Nerf Blasters and like to modify them. Rewiring and improving springs and seals to create higher performance blasters. Nothing really spectacular. But along with an old friend, Tom (aka OldNoob), the thing that we did that we were most remembered for was this: www.tapatalk.com/groups/britnerf/foam-data-services-and-elite-blue-demolisher-revie-t1900.htmlDue to starting my own business, I haven't had a lot of time for Nerf Modding, but on my son's birthday in February, we always have a Nerf War party. It would have been our 5th one this year, but I imagine Lockdown will see it not happen... So that's a little more about me. What does everyone else do?

Have a good look round the board and you will see there are sections for other hobbies. I myself also enjoy comics, Doctor Who and Star Trek. Also enjoy a bit of lego from time to time.

I'll stop posting stuff in the wrong places as I get to know my way around. Apologies for that.

*other* hobbies, you say... There is only one hobby!
Which to be fair is posting here. I only buy toys so I can join in the conversations.

With so many tiny balls and single hand gloves involved, they're really missing out on some great banter material if there isn't.

It's Phil you see. He makes us buy toys all the time.
Then he laughs about it.

Golf banter is great banter. As long as you're quiet during another person's shot, don't litter, keep up with the pace of play, rake the sandtraps, replace your divots and fix your pitchmarks.

What does everyone else do? I collect spores, moulds and fungus.

In terms of being out and about - running is a big one, more scholarly pursuits include - comics, illustration, cartooning and becoming the world authority on Shakma.

Moulds, Spores and Fungus is actually really cool! They look so badass under UV, like alien plants!

Martin Yes, the best tactic is to post about several unrelated things in one post, like Blakes 7 and cheese, so Phil won't know where to move the post to, and break down like a computer in 60s Doctor Who when faced with an unsolvable logic problem

I'm a headphone enthusiast n my favourite in-ear Brand is Campfire Audio.(that's why there's an 'audio' after helium) Yay! I need a headphone expert! As a household of five, I often put headphones in to get some peace. Several of my higher quality headphones don’t deliver my Rock, Metal and Cock Rock in a fashion I am happy with. To be honest, these Genres, no matter how much coin I’ve spent on decent branded headphones, always sound best in my default Apple Headphones. Could you recommend a brand that stays on my head (or in my ears) that deliver the same quality?

And sometimes a decent one also needs good players to drive to receive best results. Besides, I need to know the price you want to buy a headphone to make further choices.

Something relatively cheap. I can be quite rough with them as I use them everywhere and don't want to be replacing a £200 pair all the time!
£40 - £60 ish I'd say.

In my own opinion,I recommend IM70(review:https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/audio-technica-ath-im70-dual-symphonic-drivers-in-ear-headphones.20049/reviews)(if you can get used to wearing it)Since I'm not clear about what you can buy on amazon,this forum may also be useful:https://www.head-fi.org/threads/50-headphones.763603/
