I love machines. Anything mechanical or electrical. People seem to hate having to deal with machines, mostly I think because they don't understand how they work and don't know how to fix them when they go wrong. I find them fascinating and enjoy fixing them when they break.
Shame really, if I'd discovered this ten years before I did, I'd have been an engineer.

It's the ridiculous tribalism surrounding it that I loathe. All those grown men playing dress-up and face-painting like it matters. All the while pretending that they don't look like nursery school kids.

Watching football as a pure spectator sport is brilliant though. I do agree that the game is more technical but more "cheaty" now

I have this crippling disease where I think people would enjoy these exceptionally clever devices if only they'd take the time to try and understand them.
I'm almost always wrong, of course. People just want somebody else to do it for them.
It's very sad because these things represent the ingenuity of the human race and the hundreds of years of learned knowledge, passed down and built on over generations.

Although I do watch lower league football, which is such bad quality that it's wonderful. Everybody should support Southend United. Although then they'd have loads of money and be brilliant which would take the fun out of it for me, I suppose.
