I'm learning to play the guitar as well. To be honest, I'm better at buying them than playing them.

Used to play a lot of golf, believe it or not, but don't seem to have time these days.

Play cricket for the local village team.

Like fishing but, same as golf, not enough time.

Caravanning.

Going to the beach.

Problem is work gets in the way of most things.  >:( >:(

That looks like great fun. Do you do it on foot or by car? Presumably a bit of both?

I guess it's a little like high tech orienteering?

It's been described as a high-tech treasure hunt.  A car is usually needed to get to the right area (and an Omega is not necessarily the best choice!) - but most caches require some sort of trek to get to the final location.  Be warned, it can be addictive...

I enjoy Cross-Dressing most weekends :-*

It's a good de-stresser, when I but the wig and high heels on all my worries just melt away :-X ;D ;D

Carefull someone might believe you :o

Remember my thread from earlier in the year.

Lets say 1 in 50 dress up and 90% of members are male that means that roughly 30 members dress up. ;D

Who are the other 29 ;D ;D ;D ;D

No I didn't read that thread perhaps I should have searched the forum first but then again I didn't think it would be a subject on the forum ;D ;D

My real hobby is trying to make my 2 omegas look good. ie; silver elite done and none I'm trying to give my black mv6 the full treatment 8-)
Title: Re: anybody have any hobbies?
Post by: Martin_1962 on 18 September 2007, 13:04:43
Just done a quick search 2% of church goers, 5% all, so my wild guess at 1 in 50 was not so far out.

Keep a look out for really ugly women with stubble driving Omegas ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

All types of scale modelling, been trying for over 8 years to build a 'N' gauge railway based on GWR.
Archery, target shooting (Full and small bore) pistol and rifle.

Re homing furries, Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and dogs.
