WEll said wingnut, 'course your not a weirdo! I never really watch telly either so cant join in wi the conversations at work etc about soaps n stuff but Im glad of that. I read, I use the computer, walk, listen to music etc and, yes its hard to find a similar minded friend, but I'd rather be me than anyone else. Leisure type clubs are a good idea. What about volunteering for the National Trust or something? They go out on weekends, doing voluntar work such as gardening, dry stone dyking etc, and are a really friendly bunch of people. They provide lunch and transport too.
