Just out of interest, besides fettling and clicking away on our beloved Amigas, what else does everyone here do to chill out?  

What wierd and wonderful hobbies do you guys indulge in during your spare time?

Computers, computers, computers.  My business.  Badminton, swimming, cycling.  Eating from time to time.

When not running a payroll department I've a few ways of (mis)spending my time:

I'm either Mountain Biking, swimming, gymming or some other kind of exercise activity....  And when not doing any of the above I write as a hobby too. Oh, and there's the usual going out at weekends and behaving badly too...!

As an artistic and literate French-Anglophile you must have made quite an impression on the chicks!

Keep plugging away M A D....

I record poor quality music and DJ, mainly in a club called Chakra.

I was asked up to Inverness last weekend, to play at the Highland
Festival. That was great fun. They paid my girfriend and I's travel,
put us up in the Royal Highland Hotel for two nights, gave me free
beer and paid me too.

Also my girlfriend thought I'd hit fame when she saw my name on
posters and flyers. :lol:

I also write a *wee* bit.

Snowboarding, when I get the chance.

Football (watching and playing).

Playing guitar badly. :-)

Of course, I spend a lot of time on this bloody web site too. ;-)

drinking, and many social activities (differs from time to time) like singing, sailing or doing jobs volutarily.
In other words, Scouting.

Well, strangling animals, golf and masturbating.

VOICE OVER: Well there he goes. Seehund. He must have let himself down a bit on the hobbies, golf's not very popular around here, but never mind, a good try.
