Erm, taking restock of my life at the moment and was wondering if I've let things get away from me a bit with this hobby.
Came up with a list of things that might not be considered normal to non pinheads. Anyone else admit to any of the following?
1) Knowing who Brian Protheroe is, not because of his music but because that bloody single always comes up on ebay searches
2) Being caught watching footage of people in the US showing off machines in their basement on You Tube and debating telling the wife that it was hard core porn as that seemed more socially acceptable.
3) Realising that the furniture in my games room was taking up valuable pin space and chucking it out before wondering how to explain that we no longer had an office/family room.
4) Shaking head at sky high ebay prices but then being unable to resist trying to launch into a discussion about them with my wife despite knowing that she has zero interest in the subject matter (this is almost a daily occurrence)
5) Looking at pics on ebay not because I want the machine but to try and work out the other machines are in the background from the little snippets you can see.
6) Going as far as to get a builder in to quote for an extension so as to squeeze a few more pins in (managed to resist going through with this but then redesigned the kitchen purely to make entry more pin friendly)
7) Arranging for new machines to be delivered before my wife gets home from work and somehow making myself believe that she won't notice I've snuck another one in.
So is this normal and are there any other signs I should be looking for?
