Hello and welcome to the madness

Speak for yourself. I prefer to use the term 'compote of mixed interests, mostly large-scale model railway-related'.

Interesting use of the noun "Compote" - either mixed fruit or the bowl its served in!

Sounds more like your school scarred you for life. Props to you for overcoming your violent education!
