So what does everyone get up to?

[Tiny Spark]

Seen as ive settled on here now thought I would get some small talk going

So whats everyones hobbies and what do they get up to when they aint pulling cables or wiring stuff up?

Me personally I am a gamer, love to play games mostly console based these days but used to do loads of PC gaming.
I am also a keen paintballer, Play for a midlands based scenario team which is the nearest thing to exercise I get these days after quitting martial arts.
Currently I am learning lock smith techniques as well just for fun

So over to you lot....

 

[Hants-Spark]

Football, Pool and have just recently become addicted to Chess on-line (I blame Biff ) used to do a fair bit of running but the knee's aren't what they used to be and the waist line is even worse lol

I love my video games, currently playing FIFA 13 on the 360... Also a bit of a fan of COD...

I love doing anything hands on really... Do all my own work on my car (just invested in paint spray kit as bodywork was the only thing I'd not tried!) and love learning new skills. Do a lot of work on my own flat and for friends (plastering, plumbing, occasionally electrics but I'm not very good!)

Like a bit of mountain biking but my MTB buddies (a married couple) moved away a while back so I don't get out on the bike anywhere near as much as I'd like...

cooking
RC cars/helis

Sitting down and doing nothing

 

[chrisg1979]

Surfing, climbing, mountain biking, but since the arrival of kids seem to have no time for any of them (wouldn't change it for the world tho!).

 

[Paultrim123321]

Running mainly now, used to be a martial arts instructor until a few years ago but had stop due to work commitments. Football, playing music and most of all, being a dad

 

[tidyboiler]

Love guns, cars, (dragsters), classic cars, art, calligraphy, clay pigeon shooting, piano (used to play), reiki, music, reading......... finding the time to do some of these things is the problem. :59:

 

[Plonker 3]

According to my ex, when I am not working I just watch sport, drink beer, burp and fart.

Thinking about it she is right.

 

[Brightspark2]

I like most things with engines in them, so quite a bit of my spare time (when I get some!!!) is spent on my car, doing bits and bobs. Always work to do on it.

Got to the gym most weeknights. Just got into my garden too this summer, starting to get it looking a bit tropical and nice. Going buying another palm tree today actually.

And the rest of my time is spent drinking, watching rugby and listening to the misses whine and moan at me (Not that kind!!)

 

[Doomed]

Spend way too long playing world of tanks.
Do things with family.
Some martial arts, not so much any more.

 

[trev]

World of warcraft, playing guitar, reading, being a grandad (favourite pass time) cooking.
The usual I suppose.

 

[Tiny Spark]

Glad ime not the only gamer lol

[Robotstar5]

Tinkering in the garage on cars/motorbikes or if it's too cold, retire to the spare room and play with the amateur (ham) radio gear or work on my model railway layout.

Look at you the gadget women lol.... the first 3rd of the game is fast track it slows you up a lot before the end but i like to collect and explore every nook and cranny, i did enjoy Crisis 3 though now that was large scale free environment
