Have you a hobby?

Subject: Have you a hobby? Thu Feb 08, 2007 11:05 am

I'll get the ball rolling -

Apart from off-road driving, Landys, 4x4's, etc. my main hobby is sport.

Can't take part any more, a fractured knee-cap playing footie many moons ago put paid to all that, so it's a case nowadays of watching it, either on telly or in the flesh.

Love football, rugby, cricket (but only when England's involved - used to hate it but last summer's Ashes series changed all that), golf (but only the Ryder Cup 'cause I love to see the Yanks cry - apart from that hate it with a passion), women's tennis and women's beach volley ball (although I've no idea why - honest!!!)

Your turn ...

Ouch! That was painful just watching, let along taking part. Another Yank trend I suppose will spread throughout the world. We’re all doomed!!!!

Personally I’d rather get my headache from a couple of bottles of red wine, at least then you would have pleasure whilst consuming it. You’re a fruitcake Kieran!

Serious question - how come hockey is such as low key team sport (compared to footbal/rugby/cricket) yet when the Olympics are on the viewing figures for both men's and women's hockey are substantial.

Could of course be simply because it's the national team - what's your take on it?

i dont no
but i think for me its better that way because theres not and over fill of people like there is in football Laughing

Hi Tom, sorry to hear about your knee, as well as hockey I play football (on a just for fun basis) how about a bit of a rally tournament to take away the driving aches and pains at the end of the day ? Maybe county teams or even international ?

Talking of sport, has anyone been to Shuttleworth House recently?

They have a sportsfield that if you run over the grass it wobbles like a water bed!!!!!

Well Strange!

Made me titter did that! I know one thing, they won't forget us in a hurry!

Hey Smeghead, why don't you explain to folk the meaning behind your cryptic quetion - and who the hell are you? Got me puzzled.

Good idea Keith, so, you’re not just a pretty face. Whist on the second reconnoitre I’ll check out the possibilities of goal posts etc. at overnight stops within campsites. Bound to be somewhere suitable at one of them.

Damn annoying when you type an essay and either it's lost when you press the wrong key, time runs out or whatever. That’s why whenever I am about to post a message in a forum, I type it into a basic Word document first, then simply cut and paste it into the forum reply box. This way no text can possibly be lost through accidents, plus the spelling is checked before transfer. Another reason is, here in Lincolnshire power cuts are not an uncommon occurrence, hence my caution at all times saving text every paragraph. I reckon it’s a good habit for anybody.

Anyway, it wasn’t the Pajero Club, it was the Japanese 4x4 Club of GB, and I don’t remember a thing about the incident Your Honour as I was p***ed at the time! NOT GUILTY. Plus I know three Garys which is super confusing!

I was trying to be subtle and hide the incedent in case they were still P!55ed of with us... errr them!

All is fair in love, war and sniffing out a beverage at the dead of night. I'd call it adaptability and resourcefulness, others may look at it differently.

No problem at all with the lads from the club, besides, they wouldn’t expect anything less of me Twisted Evil
