Cockneyjanner: Now this is something worth doing with your life..fanfukintastic my friend. Ive never had the experience of mountaineering although ive hiked and seen some wonderful vistas (island in the sky @ canyonlands springs to mind), and ive had some trippy experiences scuba diving, but that is an awesome pic mate...one you'll remember on yer deathbed...fair play.
I used to enjoy fishing , Bikes bikes and bikes! Until 5 years ago I was Kickboxing , gym, aqua aerobics, weight training yoga. Then I pulled my hip ligaments the suddenly started hurting and loosing strength. I was getting pretty fit! I've been diagnosed with a form of arthritis last year. Chronic pain in all joints and exhaustion some days. So now got to get treatment to slow it down then try one fitness thing. I have good and bad days now . Too many steroids My other hobby takes me to lots of fab countries. Been doing that for over 20 years.. Need a new smaller lab coat and the hairs just black and pink now. I keep rodents and breed fancy Rats now . Very clean creatures and too clever for their own good !! Like a dog combined with agility of a cat but small!
l used to have rats as you say very clever creatures mostly kept egyptian browns rescued at times from my snake keeping freinds steve b
Racing - I love watching racing and racing myself and I'm currently putting money away with a view to starting up again next year. I've never ridden a track in Aus and after spending the weekend at Phillip Island the fire is relit. Plus I still want to do the Manx... Cycling - I have a Specialized Roubaix Comp and I'm currently lusting after a Pinarello Paris ... did a 250k ride for charity a week ago, my longest ride and my sorest arse... Rugby - Injury cut my playing days short but I still love everything about the game and get to a few as well. I was at the Reds V Waratahs game, the Waratahs V Hurricanes game and I've watched every international Aus have played this year. But then I'm going to try and get to some cricket too - I guess I just love sport. Cooking - Yes, I like cooking! Sailing - This is relatively new and I want to do more of it but it's competing with cycling and my Uni commitments. I was lucky enough to get a gig crewing on a Volvo 60 in the Sydney Harbour for some Sunday races and that was pretty cool. Definitely want to spend more time on the water... Many more - But who has the time?! And money for that matter. I love snowboarding but it's always competing for my hobby time/annual leave and spend with other expensive pursuits .. I was born to be a billionaire I think... I'd have made a fine rich playboy!
Fiddling with bikes. Semi-pro photography - www.loopsphotography.com Weight lifting and fitness Guitar Few other things....
well i'm a big military lover .... its my hobby , its my life ( apart from riding my 848 anything that involves ropes, weapons and other bits and pieces ... i love it here is me lol
I've got now't against female soldiers tho.....it was police women....oh nevermind that was a different thread.:wink:
In the summer I like to race karts and every couple of months pop up to Hemel for indoor snowboarding. In the winter I try to get 2 weeks snowboarding out on the mountains. I'm a semi pro photographer so occasionally do that for enjoyment. I fly RC helicopters too, proper ones not these £9.99 jobbies, my biggest one is about £1k worth
Cycling, BMC SLC01, Ribble Gran Fondo, Klein Attitude Pro single speed. Bikes and have just started kite surfing.
Forgot......like to watch sport, and footy in particular. And if I get chance I like to watch Middlesbrough. If you can call Middlesbrough FC a football club :tongue:
Finally someone who supports a club more risible than the one I support: The Baggies. Mind you, Baggies aren't so risible so far this season. Plenty of time for that to change...
Who that? Always good to see some home-grown players. Baggies also have 2nd lowest wage bill in the Prem and almost no debt. A real football club, rather than a leveraged business.
James Morrison. Got to say I was upset to see him leave Boro as he was a rising and shining star. And I'm always pleased to see when he does well. Likewise Adam Johnson, but less so Stuart Downing cos he's an arrogant twat :smile:
Morrison! Good player. In fact I am heartened that the Baggies seem to boast quite a lot of players native to the British Isles. More than most successful teams in the Prem (which could be why we are not normally very successful...)
