Hobbies...

Angry Dog · 04-12-2007, 12:05

Because we dont all work 24/7, and when we're not fussing over the car, what else do you happy folks of Briskoda get up to?

I can be found making horrendous noises on this;

I'll play snooker (time allowing) or just general publike activities lol.

Fezboy · 04-12-2007, 12:14

I play Pool on Monday(League)
Badminton Tue & Thur
Gym the rest of the week

john_grant358 · 04-12-2007, 12:14

I can be found in the gym working on this

Im about half stone bigger than that now and not as fat round the middle!

Also excuse the facial expressions, bit of constipation i do believe!

Angry Dog · 04-12-2007, 12:26

Impressive!

I need to get back down the gym!

Do it mate! 2.5 years ago i was 9 stone and now im 13.7 and lean with it! Eat well, train hard but smart, plenty of sleep and its happy days!

I need to get back into playing guitar! I had a Shector A1 in black with a marshel MG50 amp and zoom pedal, very load and loads of fun! I then had a crafter 30th annerversary edition with the moon and mountine inlays, very nice looking guitar!

After a hard day at work there is nothing better than spending a night in with the other half watching movies, recently joined blockbuster to rent movies sometimes watch 3 a week.

Other than that I can be found reading, driving, valeting cars at the weekend for a homeless charity in edinburgh and attending meets with Briskoda or the Ford Focus Ownerc Club.

I dont get chance to get to meets, although I am considering attending the one on the 13th for Yorkshire.

John,

Shectors are nice

Mines just an entry level Ibanez GRG-170DX - I want an LP at some point, even though I'm not good enough to play the one I have now, let alone an LP LOL I just dont get the time to practice

I have a Fender Frontman 15R Amp and Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal.

Thats why i sold mine in the end, no time to play and so wasnt getting any better which did my head in so it had to go

I swore id buy another one with a load of lessons when im not so busy!

Angry Dog · 04-12-2007, 12:49

I had lessons, but again time was against me

will take them back up once I get the time back, in about 20 years LOL

cheezemonkhai · 04-12-2007, 12:49

I sleep

john_grant358 · 04-12-2007, 13:08

^So do I!

**VRStu** · 04-12-2007, 13:16

I used to Carp Fish but don't seem to have the motivation these days - Can't even find the motivation to put my gear on eBay

I've played golf a bit but sadly my skills have yet to be discovered.

I suppose you'd say really that cars are my hobby.

Babs · 04-12-2007, 13:19

I play guitar (some cheapo thing, although a Cherryburst Les Paul is on the to-do list!), bass guitar (Ibanez GSR200, Laney HC60 Combo, Boss/Zoom effects), print/web design, amateur dramatics and making films

robb06210 · 04-12-2007, 13:24

Is Brisky a hobby?

Other than that.. sleep and Xbox 360... I'm too knackered to do anything else

KenONeill · 04-12-2007, 14:10

Model making, science fiction (yes that can be a hobby), bird-watching, and pubs.

ZootyRS · 04-12-2007, 14:24

Eating and drinking and sleeping is about it at the moment.

I even enjoy getting a chance to wash the car now, and that's not something I particularly like doing!

richie · 04-12-2007, 14:56

Cleaning the Skoda!!!!!!! Is there any other hobbie.........

Moose · 04-12-2007, 16:00

I play games of the computer variety, I watch the odd DVD (at the moment I'm watching the entire 6 series of 24 and currently at 12 noon of series 1, then next week is Heroes), volunteering work and abusing people on forums. Just about covers me.

Goochie · 04-12-2007, 16:03

John Grant - do you have an incredibly small **** ?

postmanpat · 04-12-2007, 16:15

Need to get back into the bike/ gym thing but its too cold and windy and the fires warm

Should also dig out the golf bats again sometime

sharkrider · 04-12-2007, 17:16

I breed these! anyone near the lakes want any gerbils? I have about 15 at the moment

I spend time with my wife and wee girl and our Cairn Terrier Haggis.

I also spend (too much) time on car forums.

Hit the gym 2 times a week, but I ain't posting pictures

Getting an XBox from Santa so I guess that will take up some time.

Me and a few mates are getting into Poker - we have 1 night a month in turn at each others houses, and pay £5 up front for chips so you know you won't lose a fortune.

Nice wee sociable pastime with some gambling fun attached.

I also like to catch up on stuff like The Unit, Prison Break, etc with the Mrs.

Captain Scarlet · 04-12-2007, 22:23

Mostly playing golf is my hobby.

Also spend a lot of time on a forum called Briskoda, don't know if any of you have heard of it, it's really good. Also swmbo is bemused as to how I can wash the car for so long.

I really enjoy watching films, of most genres, as my dvd collection would show.

Otherwise spending time with swmbo and friends.
