Watched show detectorists on bbc and wife said yup that's about right
Lance: Why do you want to give up metal detecting?
Andy: I don't, but, you know.
Lance: No, I don't know.
Andy: Becky can't even begin to comprehend this.
Lance: Well, why do you want her to?
Andy: Because it's important to me. I want her to understand it.
Lance: Well, she does understand that it's important to you. That's enough, isn't it? You don't need her to get into it. It's a hobby, that's all. Men have hobbies and women don't understand them, that's the way it's always been. I mean, how many female train spotters are there? How many women commit to an afternoon reorganising their vinyl in alphabetical order? You don't want to spend an evening with a beautiful woman just comparing comic book collections, do you? What you want is your partner to shake her head, roll her eyes and look at you and say "You and your hobbies! I'll never understand men."
I had a friend once. He had a cactus. Same cactus sitting on his windowsill for 15 years. And then one day, someone gave him a second cactus And within six months he had to move to a bigger house with enough space for his cactus collection.
Now, a woman, she could have two, three cacti, and she'd say, "Yes, that's probably enough cacti for me."
My mate Paul, he collected collections. Wrote a memoir - Recollections of a Collection Collector. As far as I know, it's still unpublished.
