Don't seem to get much spare time these days, with 20 month old daughter & still working on cottage i moved into 3 years ago!
However, i've played guitar for 16 years, accoustic, electric & classical. Studied it seriously for the first 6 years & still love it. Gone through various fases of influences but i'm classic rock at heart & Nothing chills me out more than a good thrashing of the old six string!

Spare time? whats that? If I had any I would go shooting.

[LWC]

this is really sad but i dont spend my money or time on much else than my van.

i would say that my setup is my hobby (oh im sooooooo sad lol)

[pingu]

Rebreather diving and mixed gas dives...now using a underwater metal detector.. or just geeking in here.

[The Seven Bays Window Cleaning Company]

Climb and Surf.... not in that order.

If the waves are good I'll surf, if not then I climb mostly the sea cliffs of Cornwall.

I'm one for enthusiasms, like toad of toad hall. I got a computer and broad band and all the kit and told everyone about it, then it was window cleaning. I got one of the early mountain bikes cannondale full sus in the nineties 2k, the problem with that was everytime i went out it drew a crowd.

Other enthusiasms have been making a lot of money, hot systems, electric reel, and currently i'm obsessed with gutters.

Bookeeping too, and software to do it. I would have been a good accountant.

Holidays is a fairly new one, dom rep, cuba, egypt, turkey...... But I often spend my time away plotting how to make money.

[Clive McDonald]

Oh yeah, I give advice on here that nobody wants to hear.

ADDED
Suppose I should mention i'm married and have a eight year old son

[Londoner]

My mate John gives all his money to sick horses. Of course he doesn't know they are sick until they lose!

He has literally wasted hundreds of thousands of pounds on gambling over the years and is currently deep in debt but still he carries on. I don't know how (or why) his wife puts up with him. I know mine wouldn't.

Despite all that has happened he still believes he is going to win. He works hard in the morning but then disappears into the bookies and blows everything he has earned.

I tell you gambling is a real disease.

I bet you haven't got much time for that at the moment with your new addition to the family 

[Oakley Windows]

Scuba diving, keeping marine corals and fish.

Bird watching.

It's free, healthy, absorbing and the thrill when you spot a rarity is as good as any "adrenalin rush" but a b****y sight less dangerous.

[STEVE-UK]

im into jetskiing and have been doing it for about 5 years, it makes you forget everything

[Andrew McCann]

Flying...  mainly gliders. From being a young boy I dreamed of doing it. To be up there all alone in a glider especially on a good day with lift around  is wonderfull. No-one can get near you and the feeling of using nature to climb and fly cross country is amazing.

Bird watching. I used to live in north Africa and the Middle East and I've travelled in west Africa. That's when I started. Imagine what it's like sitting under a palm tree in an oasis and watching these beautiful birds going about their everday life. Bee eaters do it for me.



Star gazing. I have a degree is in physics and and astrophysics and just love looking at the stars. Recently I've been folowing the moons of Jupiter and showing them to my kids. (Jupiter is the really bright thing in the southern sky at about 10 or 11 at night. You can see the moons quite clearly in binoculars

And the desert sky is a 180 degree dome of blackness with the starts shining brightly everywhere you look.



4-string banjo. I've tried guitar and 5-string banjo, but for me, my Gold Tone 4-string tenor banjo is where it's at. I play folk dance music and trad jazz.

No, I haven't.  But I could have done with a couple yesterday. I had 15 wasps in the house! I used to watch them in an oasis just outside Jeddah - and they're favourite food seemed to be wasps.

The weaver birds were beautiful as well.

Grey wagtails always make me smile. I used to see them in Jeddah in the winter and again here in the summer.
