GMballistic Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Apart from the car stuff.... PS3 gaming. Model making ~ all types: cars, engines, rockets, r/c etc. Exercising ~ weight lifting mainly (nothing like your set up though Andy ~ just an exercise bike for warming up/cardio & dumb bells/barbell). DIY. Knife collecting/making ~ not so much nowadays. Shooting ~ airguns/airsoft but again not so much nowadays. Archery ~ compound bow shooting. Walking (if you can call that a hobby ). Quote

Shooting - used to spend 2 or 3 hours every weekend clay shooting as well as lamping at night Running - used to go running 3 times a week Motorbikes - used to enjoy having a Sunday ride out with my mates Socialising with my mates - used to go up the pub with them once a week for a catchup and a few drinks Gardening - used to enjoy keeping my garden immaculate Project car - used to enjoy working on my project car, tuning it, fixing bits etc Computer games - used to enjoy playing games on my purpose build media/gaming PC. Movies - used to love watching lads movies and spent a lot of money on a home cinema system Mountain biking - used to cycle around 40 miles a week at one point, But since I got married, when im not playing with my car (usually only used to go to work & back now rather than weekend rides out) Cleaning the house Hoovering Ironing Doing all the clothes washing, then drying it all, then putting it away. Feeding 3 cats Shovelling 6 lots of cat sh!t up each day. Getting baby up, dressed, fed Bathing baby & putting him to bed Cooking all the evening meals Doing all the washing up after cooking the meals. Making lunch Changing all the beds Putting random stuff away which seems to get left out everywhere Getting dragged around tescos / asda / morrisons Work etc. etc. 3 Quote
