What's your hobby or pursuit that influences how you like to identify yourself?
For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

I'm an archaeology & history enthusiast. I like the term "past-o" but I live in the US and few people get a deep cut reference to a british comedy show.
I just love the variety of human responses to existing in the world, I can't help but bring it up all the time and I feel like it colors my perspective of the present and what's possible.
I've never heard past-o before but I kinda dig it! I don't know the reference at all though, so I totes get why you wouldn't use it much 😅
That's a Peep Show reference, right?
Yep! I just checked and it's like season 6, so pretty deep in.
Regardless, that's straight up my all-time favorite show - especially as a fellow past-o. Mark's historical references to his own life are fantastic. It's crazy that the show isn't more popular here in North America. My wife got me into it years ago, but literally no one I've mentioned it to in person has ever even heard of it.
Yeah, especially with Olivia Coleman's popularity and consistently amazing performances, I'd think it'd be more popular. It's a lot of neurotic English awkwardness to withstand though, I suppose.
Mark's historical references are all so funny. Johnson and Super Hans are both hilarious - every single word they say. My wife and I love how awful Elena is, she's just the worst.
The WW2 re-creationist episode and the wedding episode are some of the best written episodes of TV I think. Right up there with the Simpsons' Cape Feare or Futurama's War is the H-Word for me.
