Had an interesting private conversation...

[Shania]

A part of my Identity.

It's certainly a passion that I couldn't even contemplate giving up . No matter how mad I am with rangers I just can't help but forgive them , always have always will . I'm a keen carp angler and that's something else that I'm very passionate about and enjoy immensely . Rangers however are on another level , totally smitten and it's just the way it is . I bore the living **** out of people down the pub talking about qpr and irritate my work colleagues singing repetitive songs on a Monday after a game . Then, now and always forever my one true love

This is where you differ to so many on here TW, and I don't mean that in an offensive or detrimental way.
You provide a dictionary definition of hobby and it pretty much fits with your involvement with the R's - you do it regularly and you enjoy it, ergo it must be a hobby. Black & white - and that is how you see the world in general. I suspect it is the reason you clash with various other forum members, because they don't see the world in quite the same way. That's life I guess and it would be so boring if we were all the same.

With all due respect Blue, you don't know how I see the world in general.....you are basing that assumption on how I post on here which is different to real life!

It's more like a Religion than anything else.

The only downside is that some children grow up start school, they come back converted to one of the top 4.

[twranger]

Unbelievable!!

It's my opinion mate......tough!

[HoopDoggyDogg]

Following your club can't be classed as a Hobby.
Its a huge part of your life, which becomes an obsession.
If you are on a high you don't shut up bragging about it.
If you are on a downer you don't stop moaning about it!!!
Add to that the fans that attend every Home and Away game in a season, no matter if we are at the Top or Bottom.

Fair point, but as I don't know you on a personal level and only have your cyber personality to go by, I have to speak as I find. Perhaps I should have prefixed the sentence with some sort of rider to that effect as I didn't intend to suggest that I have the first clue about how you role the dice in the real world

It's a forum for all views and opinions........what's so embarrassing btw? Are you precious?

[Ginger Ninja]

I put hobby because I couldnt think of another word for it at the time. Its not a religion and i wouldnt say im obsessed. And if it was a curse or chore I wouldnt be involved in it.
But ive seen the word I couldnt think of now, passion. Its a passion. More than a hobby and not quite a religion/obsession.

[TRING-RANGER]

Its a way of life IMO,,,,, always been and always will be, passed down through generations, much more than a hobby.........

[MYU]

I think it differs for everyone, it's what you want it to be.

[Fraggy]

Can't believe anyone would see it as a hobby.
Like most, I structure my life around games; my wife is not English, but she knows well enough to check on the scores to get an idea of what mood I will be in for the rest of the day, week, month etc.
Even though I am unable to get to games anymore, my life is still heavily impacted by the fixture list; I don't see many stamp collectors doing that, even if it was for a penny black

Exactly MYU, just because someone sees supporting QPR in a different way to others, doesn't make them a lesser fan, than those who let it rule their lives.
