[Closed] What are your other hobbies/interests?

Struggling to think of any at the moment perhaps ...

Cooking
Coffee & Tea preparation then drinking them. 😆
Cars - Japanese made only.
Knives - all sort.

Listening to music.
Playing the guitar.
A bit of cooking when I'm allowed.
Go to the gym a few times a week.
Beer and web porn (The downturn in the oil industry means I've had to knock the coke and hookers on the head for the time being)

Music, into 80s stuff at the moment
Gym
Walking the Dogs
Messing with the Van

On my geeky side, old railways and watching bridges and new roads being built 😳 my mate takes the mick all the time out of me...

Big hitting.
Odd bit of creative stuff like drawing, enamelling, photography.
Lapsed runner.
Usual stuff like cooking beer wine diy films reading and sex.

Running, reading, summer walking in the Alps, listening to music.

Model railways

Always surprised at the number of folk with an interest in trains on here!

Apologies for being dull, just want to ensure we're all aware that OP is just a research/password/identity harvester. 🙂

Same here. Trains are ace.

IT WASNT A SPOON 😡

I wish I had space to build a OO layout to run my collection of BR blue loco's. It'll have to be a hobby of the future.

Road cycling, reef keeping, RC nitro cars/trucks and skateboarding/ ripstik

@bear

I don't get this? You've flagged up a couple of these in the last week or so.

What does the OP get from it? Am I in danger of losing something by replying 😳

Hmmmm, odd second post from a new member....

I play badminton. I do all my own car maintenance and have renovated several in the past.
Currently I'm renovating this sadly neglected 1954 Colchester Student lathe [img] [/img]

Have one of those in blue at work fruitbat 😀

Flying kites, single line and Revolution

When I'm not cycling, I may sometimes be found coaching cycling 😳

Oh and I can ride a Ripstik too 😀 - learnt aged 45, never looked back (or down)

Second posts these days tend to be either;

I'm a newbie - should I buy the new carbon or aluminium Santa Cruz?

Why can't we just shoot poor people? They make my skin crawl.

Or

Hora - he's not really real is he?

I like gardening, fishing, cameras, guitars, Lego and deliberately dropping packets of crackers in the supermarket, then putting them back on the shelf.

S'all anarchy, innit?

Just moved from New Mexico (great MTB) to Southeast Washington State (not so good MTB in close proximity in this part of the state), so am forced to realign primary hobby to kayaking and making MTB second I guess.
Pot is legal in Washington, so I guess I could make a hobby of that 😀

Read a lot, drink a bit, hike a bit.

I recently read a biography of a pioneering woman aviator which was clear that "swearing" and "wearing trousers" were hobbies, so I'm having those also.

Sleeping and jerking off definitely aren't hobbies, but are quite time-consuming.... 🙂

My other hobbies include putting off DIY jobs for another weekend & 3y/o boy wrestling.
Glad to know that I'm not the only one who finds it pleasing to see a good bridge or new road being built. I also like demolition. 😀
Come to think of it , I quite like pottering around in the garden too.

3 years ago when this was asked I could answer "semi-pro football and cricket to a good standard too", my answer is now, "err, just cycling, and not even mountain biking either, road and occasional CX".

Football has fallen away due to a couple of teams I played for folding and cricket was knocked on the head as spending 8 hours in a field every Saturday of the summer just wasn't that appealing any more.

I do cook a lot though, often for pleasure, not sure if that counts.

N gauge is your friend!

Free time slowwwlly has been taken over by Geocaching. Blimey its addictive! Just started roping up and getting up trees to find tree based caches too 😀

TM

Running as an alternate exercise, playing both Xbox and guitar badly, and for a bit of intellectual stimulus I "study" (in a sort of Victorian Parson sort of way) paleoanthropology

There are jokes about salhelanthropus and ardipithicus that has them rolling in the aisles, but I'll spare you

Art, painting and painters.
Oil painting (primarily tonalist and impressionist landscapes)
Photography/fine art printing
Sustainable/renewable tech
Lightweight camping
Travel/touring (bike, foot, train, bus, hitch, even late-night Google Street-View on the tablet when funds/circumstances prohibit physical travel)
Volunteering
Conservation
Zoology/wildlife study and observation
Philosophy/Psychology
Zen Buddhism
Music (making and listening)
Kayaking
Cooking
Walking (now curtailed by disability yet still enjoy short walks in life and long-ones in dreams)
Excercising on Kangoo-Jumps
Swimming, both wild and pool laps

Where to start?

I do a bit of FT/R and clay shooting when I have time, do a bit of work for the Army when I don't. I do a fair bit of Crossfit during the week, but other than that, not much. Maybe some kayaking now and then and some camping on the odd weekend.

taking photos of places that I shouldn't be in

Powerlifting.
Drinking.

Video games, tabletop roleplaying games, (not) making model kits. I like aviation museums and air shows too. I have always listened to music a lot and I go to quite a few gigs by some peoples' standards. I read quite a bit, generally sci-fi and fantasy. As I'm 6'3" tall I in total definitely qualify as a big geek.

Sofaking - those photos are stunning! 😮

My other interests are music - mainly psytrance and techno and I enjoy reading.
I play guitar and mix on CDJs sporadically. (Read that as - hardly ever these days!)

Working on my cars, hanging out with my buddies at the local diner, chatting to Mrs Cunningham...no wait, that's the Fonz.

old cars
thinking about doing woodwork
thinking about travelling

I know times ticking, but lack of decent health and cash are what I need to sort out first

Sofaking - those photos are stunning!

Agreed!

I was into photography for a while, and that was the sort of thing I aspired to...I just couldn't set aside the time and effort to find and go to places to photograph.

Sofaking, you should publish a coffee table book or something.

I do cook a lot though, often for pleasure, not sure if that counts.

Would cooking be considered a hobby, but only if you threw it away without eating it?

Presumably cooking your dinner isn't a hobby 😆

We've got two young kids (girls 8+4) so most of my leisure time is spent taking them to their leisure activities (endless birthday parties, ballet/street jazz/tap dancing/ drama lessons, Brownies, etc)

When I do actually get some 'me' time it is road biking, photography, bit of woodwork, Scouty stuff (I'm a DofE assessor + assistant Explorer scout leader) cooking, travel, etc.

Long term I'm hoping to get a bit more into the woodwork, and to buy a 4x4 for trips away.

motorbikes
machining stuff - see show me what you made thread
motorbike racing, engine tuning etc
mtb
dog
reading, documentaries and films
music - played keyboards in a band and play guitar for fun, badly
there's a few more things but i only seem to be able to concentrate on 2 or 3 of them at the same time and the other ones seem to get put to one side for a while. Making stuff and mtb (and the dog) are the main ones though

I suppose is should answer the original question really.

Over the years, I've had many hobbies...my wife used to say my book shelf was the sign of someone who was bored as it was full of stuff on my various hobbies.

Snowboarding (once a year)
Fishing (lapsed)
Fitness/running (lapsed)
Thai boxing (old)
Wing Chun (old)
Other various martial arts (old)
Golf (old)
Photography (old)
Wood working (new - currently renovating an old garage to be my workshop)

I read a lot, but that's not a hobby I don't think.

As we've just moved to a bigger home that needed/needs a lot of work, my current hobby is DIY/gardening.

Would cooking be considered a hobby, but only if you threw it away without eating it?
Presumably cooking your dinner isn't a hobbu

(Try to) play tennis a couple of evenings a week, and cardio tennis twice a week which I really enjoy!

Rallying - been all over the world watching & taking photos at events, but now mainly filming for a tv program these days which takes up a lot of my time outside work, also try to do a bit of co-driving now and again, have done the Safari Rally in Kenya twice and probably will again next year.

Love map reading and could sit and look at maps for hours and hours, either randomly or trying to work out a route for driving or biking.

Would love to give kayaking a go but wouldn't know where to start and, again, not knowing anyone who would also try it is annoying.

big thanks Franki and McHamish

this weekends plans revolve around riding this round racetracks
