Gen X here. When I get bored I go out to eat by myself. Without the drinking though. I’m lonely, not gonna lie.
I have a partner I love, still enjoy being alone when I can.
I would too. I get overloaded on social interaction pretty quickly.
When I am bored I go to the explosion museum of naval firepower. Its next to a brewery.
Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower
Wtf its an actual place! The name sounds so ridiculous i's not sure if you were havin a laugh or not. :)
It's a real place and a couple years ago I had a years ticket to go in as often as I like and take the ferry around the harbour to see other things too like the historic dockyard (Victory, Warrior, Mary Rose) and the submarine museum. All included in that one ticket. It wasn't even that expensive really. Lasted for a year.
Wow! The Mary Rose... you just sent me down memory lane. I hadn't thought about that ship in decades. So i saw that ship when it was still going through that water treatment business. Blew my mind then, i's really young at the time.
And now i realise i've been to Portsmouth, we were staying over in Eastbourne at the time.
The trip was full of museums and castle visits all over the south of England at least between Battle and Tintagel. So we could easily have been to the Explosion museum as well. I'll have to dig out the old scrap books and see if somethings written in them about it.
The years ticket to all of those sounds like a great way to spend some weekends, get to enjoy the harbour as well.
Looks like its £51 normally for unlimited access to everything for a year. Not sure how often they do it, I got it much cheaper because they were doing it for a pretty good discount for anyone with a PO postcode. Not sure if it was literally every PO postcode or just some of them.
Oh nice! Over here in Perth the State Gov just had all Summer with all the Museums free. It was cool, no matter who, you just kinda walked in. They've recently redone the main museum 'Boola Bardip' its a pretty incredible place now. Didn't see much war stuff, but i's flying through it with a kid, so there were whole floors we missed.
