Just Some Guy Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I'm also a big fan of boardgames. I have promised myself that I'm not going to buy any more. I love the Warhammer 40K lore and the main game but had to give it up because I hate painting with a passion (I'm shit at it), and you spend way to much time in the figures & scenery for me.

As threatened. Also one for the Jesus Fucking Christ thread, you may notice my profile pic there. I had been using that email address for a job search once. Can’t believe I didn’t get any replies.

SuperBacon Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 This is superb dull work. The replies even include dull graphs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted January 1 Paid Members Share Posted January 1 Possibly attending two heritage railway steam galas this month - one at Kidderminster on the Severn Valley line and another later in the month at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway. Both are fine destinations for family days out and both with great line ups in terms of the trains on offer 🚂 January is normally a time where you don't see many steam engines running - they are kept out of the cold and stored for maintenance usually. But these are two great events to kick the year off and to see these magnificent beasts out in the wind. Top of the billing is an American locomotive called 'Omaha' which looks like the train equivalent of an American wrestler on steroids (it looks hideous but it's an absolute beast), and another smaller locomotive nicknamed 'the flying pig' because it sounds like a pig as it snorts and chuffs along 🐷 Already got the green light from the other half. We've done Loughborough before and had a jolly time but not Kidderminster - is there anything else nearby the Dull Men's Club could recommend in that neck of the woods?

SuperBacon Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Had to share this from the actual Facebook page as this is quite superb. Decent looking flag underneath as well IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted January 2 Paid Members Share Posted January 2 Lads, are you ready to let the dogs out? Not only can you buy them, not only can you see when the next trains are coming, but you can even hear sounds from the PA systems telling you when the next train arrives. It is both the dullest and most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen. There’s a link to them in the description of fellow train nonce (Frankie I absolutely love that and I’ve been calling myself that ever since you first said it to me) Geoff Marshall’s vid. That’s the same chap who visited every railway station in Britain with his other half. They are no longer together. Look what she’s missing out on!

cobra_gordo Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I too am a boring Warhammer nerd, although just painting for me, never bothered with the games. I've got a decent collection of 80's and early 90's miniatures too that stay tucked in drawers and cupboards. This is a current work in progress. Took about 3 hours to get to that point because of all the layering to get that blue. Still loads to do and I've just clocked a couple of mistakes when I've uploaded the picture here. Fucks sake.

Paid Members JNLister Posted January 5 Paid Members Share Posted January 5 A bit meta, but I spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos of theoretically boring subjects. A few regular channels:https://www.youtube.com/@AutoShenanigans is mainly a bloke taking a different motorway every week and talking through the different junctions and features. As a non-driver I don't really know why I find a guy droning on about sliproad configurations so fascinating.https://www.youtube.com/@TheWideWorldofStadiums is full on stadium/arena nerdery (plus a dry sense of humour.) Some are genuinely too boring (like indentikit baseball/college football stadiums), but give me a run down of Croatian ice hockey arenas and I'm well in. Probably the best was where he did the Scottish Premier League and then kept promising to do the next league down if he got enough feedback, eventually getting to the Highland League.https://www.youtube.com/@KentSurvival videos are a bit long and he does nervous laugh too much, but if you want a reliable video of a man putting up a random tent, chopping wood, making dinner and then waking up in the morning to tell you whether the tent leaked, it's your hookup.https://www.youtube.com/@SoloTravelJapan is basically the same video every time, a first person POV of a Japanese ferry trip, including meticulous room tour, a tour of the ship facilities, and all the meals. There's some variance in the room types (capsule up to full on suite) but it does eventually get repetitive. There's also https://www.youtube.com/@SoloTravelJapan which is a different channel but clearly inspired by the original poster.https://www.youtube.com/@PedestrianDiversions is mainly Bristol and West Country, with a bloke spending 30 minutes on where's the actual centre of Bristol or why he loves the brutalist architecture of that bit at the end of harbour everyone drives past but ignores. What makes the channel is that he had one video go viral but then openly refused to do any of the things you're meant to do to retain people's interest and build an audience. And the ultimate is https://www.youtube.com/@just_alex, which is a man who, while not dull as such, is certainly not what you called conventionally charismatic, doing stuff that is not considered conventionally interesting. We're talking beekeeping, brewing, growing veg, living in a remote Swiss hut for a month just because. What makes it work is that he's utterly fascinated by everything, which inherently makes it dull but interesting. My absolute favourite is 25 minutes of him making a knife with a professional, which is just oddly compelling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
