I don't make a point of banging on about any of my hobbies to anyone, but that's because they're my hobbies, and I realise not everyone will share the same interests. I'll talk about football to friends on a Saturday morning, I'll talk about collecting rave music and vinyl to friends I know through that scene, and I'll talk about buses to people I know through this scene.
End of the day, if you're embarrassed about it being a hobby, then it's not a hobby. Where's the enjoyment of looking over your shoulder constantly?
I agree with that, that is the point I am trying to put across

End of the day, you need to think about it, if your looking over your shoulder, Adrian is right, your losing out on the 'enjoyment', am not here to have a dig or anything, you need to take a real look at your hobby and if you really do enjoy it mate...
Think about it mate
