British Hobbies - Part 2

Just in case you think I’m wrong about the whole odd British hobby thing, may I point you towards Tony Hawks? No, not the skateboarder - that’s Tony Hawk. I’m referring to the writer and comedian who has written three books – one about hiking around the perimeter of Ireland with a mini-fridge, one about his quest to beat each member of the Moldovan soccer team at tennis, and one about his attempt (and eventual success) to have a top-twenty hit on the Albanian music charts.

Then there was the British guy (his name escapes me at the moment) who placed ads saying, simply, ‘Join Me,’ and ended up starting his own cult.

And of course there’s cricket.

Need I say more?
