Well lets see, a couple of my hobbies are:
Fishkeeping: i've got 2 huge tanks and also have a Koi pond in the making and its soon to be complete.
Gaming: If i ain't got nuttin' better to do then i just switch on the computer
Soccer: This was my one and only hobbie, i even made it up to provincial level but then it just started to fade away, also the pressure of my Bigot parents who believe sport would'nt take me anywere without a good education. But i still play first chance i get!
Riding: I ride my Bike(125cc Scooter) whenever i need to unwind and need some power at fingers and wind in my hair!
Thats just a few things that keep me occupied, had alot more hobbies but all seem to have fallen away what with matric and all!
Peace Out!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
my hobbies are:
well Gaming (its become an obsession
)
kart racing,
and a little photography (until recently my camera broke
),
and i read alot, some of my favourite authors at the moment are David Eddings,Michael A. Stackpole and Ralph Peters. Mostly "Fantasy Sci-Fi" and WW2 stuff.
other than that i build models (mostly F1/car models) ...in my spare time
(or rather try to, ive got a couple of half-finished ones lying around
)
(whilst not really a hobby "Formula 1" seems to be taking up more and more of my time
)

Reality is the Illusion we all agree upon
Firstly, I have an idea for Cammie, I used to run a RC Hobby shop.
Since your hand-eye co-ordination must be good, how about learning to fly a RC aeroplaine or race a RC car. I used to race the cars in a club, it is quite a serious sport. And Amazing fun.
OR
Build a scale model ship, a wood one, they have starter ones.
Just a thought![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
AngryRabbit - I was raised on David Copperfield(+ David Blaine), it has become somewhat of an obsession.

I bought a R/C glider kit but never got the R/C itself - haven't even gotten around to building the thing yet - maybe I should. Hmmmm....nice idea, Storm ![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Oh, I forgot - I'm a huge Clive Cussler fan - have you ever been to the Hunley website?
The Hunley was a Confederate submarine that sank twice, killing its crew both times (and its designer) before the third crew made the first-ever successful sinking of a warship - but sank themselves on the return voyage. Clive Cussler found the submarine and raised it.

It's expensive, sure - but you can always do your first few jumps on static-line - why do you need to do tandem-jumps?jamin_za wrote:I'd like to go skydiving, but its really expensive - and I'd have to do my first few jumps strapped to some dudes back.

R600 for training (the whole day) and your first jump. After that it's R100 per jump. You have to complete, If I recall, about 10 static line and 5 dummy rip jumps before you can freefall.
Too much time and effort for me, not to mention the price. Also the weather has to be perfect to jump so forget trying to plan your weekends in advance.

Just a thought . . .
Some of you guys seem to have a problem meeting babes.
I think I have a solution for you. Beg, borrow or buy a sewing machine, then go to your nearest sewing class (Bernina is excellent) and sign up for their Bra Making Course. Just imagine! It'll change your whole dating calendar. You'll never have to grope again - you'll actually be invited to check their sizes out. You'll get to see them in the flesh 8O without having your face slapped. Please note: shoddy workmanship will not get you any customers and you'll have to work hard, but what a pleasure!
For those guys you can't get the hang of sewing how about knocking up something like this in your workshop . . .

I copied the source coding and removed the <>.
I have zone alarm set to disable web bugs, so is it interpreting Madgic's piccy as a bug?
