Re: So take a guess at the 2nd most popular hobby in Britain
Oh deary deary me.Yet another thread down the toilet.
An innocent enough question again turns out to be islam bashing / middle east bashing. The predictability of it all is rather boring. The last time, a post commenting on poor spelling / grammar turned out to be the same. How do you lot manage to turn it around to your favourite topic so frequently?
For the record, I was was brought up in Bradford, it's my home town. I could speak English fluently BEFORE I arrived there. This usual bollox about 'immigrants not integrating' is sooo boring. My Mum worked as a sewing machinist for thirty years. Every time she left one company, it was due to her being made redundant as the factories were slowly closing down. She worked hard, raised two kids on her own, paid her taxes, made her contribution to the economy and the the community.
Please explain to me how she , my sister ( a graduate, and a Masters graduate ) and myself 'failed to integrate'. What utter rubbish. People who write that really have no clue whatsoever and are just quoting soundbites from whatever trendy media they buy into. Carry on stereotyping if it makes you feel secure.
Pubs have not closed down due to islam. They have closed down due to mismanagement, the economy, the smoking ban, the brewery franchising....
And then we get the usual crap about "oooh the badness of Tower Hamlets.Its no wonder the British National Party are gaining votes. Actually, The Daily Mail is quite a good read,isn't it? ".
I could ask a perfectly reasonable question e.g. What is the temperature in Oman" and hey presto before we know it, it's all the fault of the Muslims in Luton, and don't we all hate the Middle East and lets all laugh at the arabs.
Isn't some poor cat or dog being victimised somewhere? Get a grip. Not surprised LionHeart left this place. There are some proper idiots around.

Hardly what I'd call crap more an alarming situation where residents of all creeds are being forced to live by and under the rules of a fanatical minority who use violence as a means to achieve their aims. Hardly a defendable position but wo be unto they who dare to voice concern for they must all be ignorant racist bastards.
As for myself I'd be just as vociferous were they radical seventh day Adventists by to be honest they tend to keep a low profile these days although I do know one here oddly enough and funnily enough he does keep a low profile

Sorry, was sleeping
Yes it is Railway Modelling as I learned reading well known (to railway modellers) publications and books. I don't know where I stashed my collection so unfortunately can't find the source material. I recall distinctly that railway modelling was mentioned as 2nd most popular after angling and the #1 most popular hobby amongst the clergy.
I forgot about gardening so realistically I think Railway Modelling is number 3.
This is the only online source I could find with a few minute search

Whatever the reason, there must be something to explain why, after angling, model railways are Britain’s second most popular hobby.

It's the same news category as a press release that says "Toothpaste company claims toothpaste prevents cancer" – i.e. bullshit.

And as for bashing Islam...given Muslims have been on the aggressive side of attacks on non-Muslims throughout the world since AD622 you might want to keep quiet on that one. Islam isn't immune to criticism any more than Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Spaghetti Monsterism or any other religion or ideology.
By all means do a lionheart if you don't like it here.

Re: So take a guess at the 2nd most popular hobby in Britain
I do feel sorry for the coming bloodshed in Britain and in other countries because of these issues though...it's a pity two generations of politicians and their failed social experiments couldn't have the foresight to avoid this by taking firm steps 40 years and no give all immigrants passports, only renewable work visas.
Still that's all racist of me to say that so I'll go now and send my hooded white robes to the dry cleaners because commenting on these issues makes me like one of those nutters doesn't it?
