Are there any fans of sci-fi, comics, movies, Batman etc on the forums? And more particularly in Basel?

We've just moved to Basel from the UK and my husband who's a huge sci-fi, comic fan is missing his local comic shop and the friends he usually talks about this stuff with for hours on end...

I just wondered if there is anyone nearby who fancies meeting up for a coffee and sci-fi type chat - think Basel Book club but for 'nerds'

Thanks

Its funny how you have to do this post instead of your husband. I guess we women have to take care of those "babies" as well..

:P

...yeah, maybe for those husbands who read comic books.

Not sure if I should 'fess up to this but I am a "bit" of a Scifi, comic, batman fan.

I have a selection of comics collected over the years as well as other collectable.

Yeah, I'm not surprised...

I just bought these so I'm a lost cause.

...no comment

i'm a huge sci fi nerd but not a comic fan - more movies, tv series, collecting yoda bobble heads....

Great, why don't you 2 just get a

dude, like :

Love the AT-AT bed - don't let my hubby see it he'll want one

Kevlegs and Swissotter are you in Basel by any chance?

Gata - aren't they all small children really?!

This was his 'office' in the UK - now all in boxes in storage until we decide exactly where to live:

i am in singapore (but was in ZH, there is a good comic store called zappadoing in winterthur, not sure if there is an equivalent in basel)

omg, he is a real collector!

return of the nerds

i think its really nice that you're looking out for your hubby. i wonder how many women would indulge their other half's nerdier interests

I've been allowed to put up some stuff in "my" room.

some?! is there more?

Boxes of comics, boxes of toys and a 5ft inflatable Whiskey bottle with Batmans cowl on top which is just out of shot on the pic.

There's always more - they've just not owned up to it yet...

LOL

This makes me think of the discussion between hubby and I about how many rooms we needed.

I insisted that we need 2 bedrooms, one that we can convert into an office / computer room so that he can have whatever he wants on the walls or wherever...

Right now the computers are set up in what otherwise would be a living / dining combo room and he's "not allowed" to put up game posters unless they're framed (which he's unwilling to do).


Bunnykins, there is a group of us here in Basel who get together for D&D if you and / or your hubby may be interested in that. There is a comic / games shop called Fantastic Empires.

They hold some weekly gaming sessions there and when I visited the shop, I know that we were not the only ones speaking English there... you could probably find some other like-minded folks there on a given Saturday afternoon.

Sooooo tempting to groan at you for this but as I've met you and know you're a fun and funny guy with more of a "party boy" leaning, I'll let it slide... for now.
