Pack mule for now much larger children. He's as tall as me but I can still take the Boy in impromptu wrestling matches that occur in the kitchen, hallway, car.

Also act as opposable thumbs for Team Weiner Dog.

I've been known to shoot a round or two at the range...

I make a living in graphic design moving into web design more and more. Both are born from hobbies, started out making flyers for house parties at school.

Play cricket and follow England. Get to games when they are close to home, which is usually Headingly or the riverside in Durham. Never seen a game abroad yet but planning on the IPL next spring.

DJing with dubstep and DnB mainly. Had club residencies before. Used to swear by vinyl but I have since sold out to digital vinyl as its a lot cheaper than 5 quid a record but you still get everything good about mixing with vinyl.

Music. Get to a few dubstep and dnb raves, less than I used to. Seen most of the big names three times over I reckon. Mainly in digital newcastle, best club in the country by my reckoning. Own plenty of vinyl, plenty of cds, plenty of digital.

Photography mainly portraiture. Non studio stuff.

Rugby and football I play in the winter while cricket sleeps. Don't watch much rugby but do football. Have been to see a few Carlisle united games since moving here and they are winning my support. Do get back over to Newcastle for their games, not so often because even without travel it's ****ing expensive.

Books, I can't read very fast but I do read. When I say that I mean I'm not one of those people who finishes a book in a couple of hours. More a page per minute rate. Prefer my fiction in books and my fact in small doses ie newspapers, web etc.

Video games. Have an xbox would prefer a ps3 but most of my friends play xbox so what can you do. Like a bit of COD, Forza (mainly in the livery editor designing car paints.) and quite enjoy making little engineering bits of genius (search for cam driven catapult ) on little big planets level editor when I do get a go on a ps3. Usually at my brothers house.

I collect comics, ive got a couple thousand.

Oh and the heads of my foes.

Nerf guns, PC Gaming, bike, swimming.

I also collect guns and enjoy building black powder guns.

Lets go down my hobby list shall we, these are the hobbies of the past!
Micromachines
Pokemon
Crazy Bone
Bane Blades (Actually its name)
Yu Gay Oh
Mage Knights (I have 300 of these minitures in my room still sad about the company going down :( )

Yup, one of my brothers and I do that from time to time. You can make some real decent cash off it if your lucky/good. Ive actually found my first 2 powerwheels in the trash. Ive found a couple more over the years, fixed them and sold them. Its crazy what people will throw away.

I agree. I once went through the trash and found freaking Amethysts! WTF? I mean beautiful purple!
And we picked up a entire coach because some people didn't want it so they left it on their front lawn and we took it

Im lucky in the fact that about 15minutes away is the "rich" area and about 20minutes the other way is "ghetto" so we are in a prime hunting spot. I found and sold a working 60 inch tv. That was a nice one. The rich guy upgraded his big tv to a wall mounted, and just couldnt be bothered to sell it

Sure it was a couple years old, but hey a $300 tv is a $300 tv



Also, Im a huge fan of acoustic guitarists. I can listen to this stuff for hours on end. Someday Ill play sorta kindda like that

Have you listened to Andy Mckee? He is absolutely God like with a guitar.

PFFF Have I heard of Andy Mckee?

I used to have a signature with him on it. Love the guy. Oddly enough I was told I looked like him, thats how I got into this style of music.
Im the seemingly tiny guy next to that wall that is my brother.


And this is Andy Mckee

I also do these things
Play Piano
I sing
I Free Run
I Swim
I do martial arts
I practice with my weapons.
I try and read History books as much as I can.
I love to cook when i get the chance.
I like making up long stories, that aren't about me.
I am in boy scouts.
I collect rocks
I collect knowledge from the internet of 40k.

I collect 1st edition dnd books, have quite a few and some old old metal models.

However, my largest collection is extremely rare hentai. That's right. Over 6 gigs of images. None of that freaky nonsense, just really rare, excellent images, and I don't care who knows. Some are so well drawn if I found a scaled up image, I might get a few framed!.

Sigged

Do go on.... Juraigamer.

It is so wrong but so hilarious.

Video games, I have so many.

There's nothing wrong with masturbation it's quite common among young teenage boys and is usually considered normal/natural way to spend one's private time during a lustful mood. In fact many doctors encourage it because its considered safe

sex and no one get's hurt.

I collect spores, mold and fungus.

Also, I had part of a slinky. But I straightened it.

I would, but that would probably make this thread NSWF, so I can't hahahah.

I guess I could say I have stuff related to 40k that isn't crap to look at. Very little SOB and DE oddly enough.

Oh and while some would think *that* is all you can do with this kinda stuff, I have some really interesting stories. Reading hentai, who woulda thought? Curious folks should look up a manga called "My balls". I can say that right,

Edit: for reference I'm 26, and please don't think I'm addicted... though I can't prove I'm not. This is the internet after all.

It was funny. But yes porn does not equal a hobby unless your addicted like a 13 year old.

HEY! WTF MAN? Polluting my thread with 40k stuff? Read the title mate, read the title! I mean the word OTHER is in caps..... CAPS!! GOD! CAPS!

Caps? Why do you have to caps your sentences?

Yes. Yes we are.

It is at this time that i will qoute a joke from Dennis Leary's book, Why We Suck.

"And a man masturbates. He masturbates even if he's in a relationship, and it's not becuase he's dissatisfied.
We masturbate because it improves aim, and becuase it helps you last longer when your having sex. And that is a point of pride amoungst men, the ability to please your woman."

Oh I only masturbate because I have no girlfriend or friends with benefits. Also I jerk off about 10 times a week and I still don't have muscular biceps, I think you're lying GES.
