Worthwhile past time? plastering photos of someone who he doesn't even know all over his belongings and rewatching episodes of EE to take more pictures, creepy past time more like. Also maybe you should take your own advice with getting a worthwhile past time.
Absolutely worthwhile. It's brought him joy, allowed him to customise his home and his wardrobe. He has found a theme that works for both, he looks great.

Maybe if you did you wouldn't have such anger issues?
I see I have made an error, I mistook you for a rational poster capable of sense. Apologies.

Do you not think it's slightly invasive?

If someone did this with pics of someone who isn't famous, they would be seen as a crazy stalker.

I'll admit that I had Johnny Depp posters when I was a kid. I couldn't imagine going to these lengths though and at my age now.

That's quite OK. You were distracted with being outraged and indeed deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply troubled... coping with both of those at the one time can be burdensome.

Thanks also for your assurance regarding your many fun, healthy hobbies. It's deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply reassuring. I don't know if you have reached this nice man's level of achievement yet, but as I said, if you spent less time on DS and more time focussing on aforementioned hobbies you might have more sense of satisfaction in your life. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

Not illegal, doesn't hurt anyone, and has a hobby.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Thanks.

Exactly, if he was out robbing cars or smoking crack cocaine and crystal fluzz the exact same brigade would be saying he needs a past time or a hobby.

Well he has one and I think it's quite touching.

Yes and it's now on the news for everyone to see. Not creepy for Harry at all, but since he's famous, I guess it's ok.

I don't think Shaun Smith wants to be famous. He's doing this out of genuine admiration.

I guess this is the new form of trolling. Pretending to be obtuse. It's so boring now.

Why do you have to try and undermine a post you may disagree with?

As I said if you had a hobby like this gentleman maybe you wouldn't be so aggressive and hostile to other posters on DS... your's is not the only opinion or the right opinion.

Shaun has found his passion and doesn't seem to be so quarrelsome and confrontational.

Yes, my hobby should be either obsessively collecting pictures of a stranger or begging for attention by trolling on DS.

If you want, but I think Shaun has the Harry Reid side of things pretty much sewn up and we've already established that forums bring out your anger complexes.

You're being very aggressive with me now as well. Danger of going of topic here too. You just need to accept you are wrong this time and move on... preferably to your hobby.

Harry does look creepy sometimes... especially when he does the Mitchell fake rage or fage as we call it in our house... but Shaun likes him and it's helping him. Hopefully this article can give succor to people who don't have such a hobby.

All the good ones have been taken though. Borderline stalking and attention seeking online. Ah well. I wish I could continue this, as obvious trolling has suddenly turned rather entertaining, but I have to go. Don't worry though, I'll be thinking up a new hobby at work

Fantastic. I've added you to my buddylist. I'm really pleased to have been able to help you today

If there is anything else I can do I can only try.

Thousand of repeat pictures of someone face, yeah I don't think its gonna be everyone number one choice for a hobby, especially at 5k, bit too pricey for me.

Never mind at least you've found your hobby being DS psychologist assessor.

No mate that would be a vocation not a hobby and with the crowd that post here I'd have my work cut out for me!

I like it. It shows dedication and it has helped this nice man in his time of bereavement. He was bullied and coming out was difficult, who are any of us to judge if this has helped him coped. Everyone has coping mechanisms

If a few of you spent as much time on a worthwhile past time like this, then the DS forums would be all the better for it!!

Bravo!
But i thought you hated gay people.....

I have never said that. On the contrary. I'm sure some of them are lovely.

I have a feeling it's not actually Ben Mitchell he is obsessed with. Due to the fact Ben Mitchell has had many faces and there's only pictures of 1 of them there. Which is good because the others were kids, now that would be weird.
