I used to collect pinball machines.
After being involved in sky tv's top 40 pinball theme, and showing them on big breakfast, I slowly became bored with them. Now I have just one as a memento, but its not set up.

Those paintings are so random - absolutely fantastic!! Loving the Flouunder and Kieth Richards ones...

My hobbies tend to rotate between the Adventure, the MTB and kitesurfing, depending on the wind and temperature...


eta: I 'spose I could say I dabble in some (very) amateur photography as well...

You have some serious talent there. My father used to paint, he was good enough once have an exhibition of his work, which he sold. He also did commissions & ones for friends too. I don't think he could ever have made a living out of it & I think he enjoyed it as a hobby. Self taught as well

So its would be worth thinking about doing some commission work if you had the time.

Me, unfortunately I'm no good with paint, but I do have his eye for photographing things, as that was his job.

Me, I like cycling, fishing & I have a train set to refurbish. Although there never seems to be enough time to fit all in around work

My hobby :- Beer and football

I bike for relaxation, drink beer to forget. After all I am a Rovers fan and need to forget a lot.

More hobbies than you can shake a stick at, most of them lumped into general tinkering.
Occasionally climb when I can, MTB, hunting, RC aircraft but not much these days.

I have a number of hobbies as I tend to jump into things with two feet, get to what I consider a reasonable level and then move on. However I never really move on.

Besides bikes, the only thing's a do with any regularity are: ice hockey, golf, tennis and a little online gaming.

I seriously love Black metal music and attend gigs when funds allow. Last gig I saw was Marduk, met up with Nemesis and had a great time rocking out.

When not rocking out or listening to my favourite Net Radio station Total Biker FM (http://totalbikerfm.com/), I am probably playing with my bikes or occasionally going climbing, although that became less of a hobby when I became a climbing Instructor.

I also love to read and can highly recommend Matter by Iain M Banks, a truly fantastic book.

When not doing any of this, I am probably dominating (http://www.thelatexstore.com/proddetail.php?prod=MB725) the wife. :-dd

Yes. Really. Tower bells, not handbells. And definitely not handbell "tune" ringing.

And dill89...... "crown green" or "flat green"? I used to play crown green bowls when I lived at home "up north".

Yeh I do commisions when people want them.
I tend to paint more in winter as there isnt anything else to do.
