Please tell me you did not have the thong on and a bollock hanging out either side when you got caught by your Tech Director.

Now that would be comedy gold!

Become the office prankster, see how long it is till you get sacked?

+1 on the rock climbing - physically and mentally quite demanding but VERY rewarding, and you can see your improvements easily too. Great for building up confidence and strength.

Joining 7dayslater.co.uk could be a good shout but perhaps a little bit on the wild side.

honestly, we're talking about one of the clumsiest men on the planet here wanting to take up motocross?

I can imagine him being VERY good on a road bike, in fact too good and show me up... but just cant imagine lee on a motocross... he'd break too many bones!

I play football, squash and compete in Autograss.

Autograss is mint fun a mix of racing and drifting depending on which class, but can get a bit expensive, here is some pictures of my car in its new colour scheme




If you like the look of it have a look on http://national-autograss.co.uk/

Me and my mate Stew always have a few hobbies on teh go to keep us entertained.

We have done power Kites, which is a lot scarier than it sounds. We had 10msq kite and it would pull you off the ground in a decent wind easy. Had it dragging four of us around windsor great park before



This vid is long but worth a watch when it get going



We also had a little dirt buggy for a bit . Was surprsing what this thing would go through

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lEzLUR_THEU
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CGDJZlGST70

Still have our RM250 which scares the fuk out of me




Just a bought An SJ410. Proper laugh and again surprsing what it is capable of . Had it going through water that is over the bonnet and up hills youd struggle to walk up




This was one of our first goes, got stuck and wernt sure what to do



Got a jetski aswell which gets boring just riding it especially on a lake. Much more fun towing toys onit like a kneeboard, wake board, bullet etc





We are doing the Scally Rally this year in the BeeDub




Also got Nitro RC cars and RC helicopters and probably loads of other stuff ive forgotten.

Glad you like the BeeDub, we painted it with house gloss

http://www.scallyrally.co.uk/phpBB2/...pic.php?t=1146

Quick Plug

We are doing the scally rally in aid or the Perthes Association as a friends little boy suffers from it. http://www.perthes.org.uk/

They have given us 20 charity tins to fill and so far we have filled about four as everyone at our work places are cheapskates

At this rates me and the friends im doing it with will be raiding our pennie jars to fill them as we need to fill ten of them before they come and pick them up.

So if anyone wants to paypal/mail me a donation, that i can then get swapped into small change that would be a big help. Pm me for details

fair play on the getting healthy side of things,to keep myself occupied i like waterskiing,kneeboarding,messing around with towable inflatables and i'm just getting into wakeboarding.here's some pics for inspiration!



i used to motocross but found as i got older it hurt more and took longer to heal,so i bought myself a road going quad which is soooo much fun,and they're getting cheap now!

Hobbies...........get another wife.....they'll keep you on your toes, esp when your on a lads-only night out!

It depends on what yo want to get out of a hobby. Any other 'interests' other than the female species?

Personally, I like gardening (I'm only 28!) but I get a great satifaction when looking out the window. Grow my own veggies too. Knowing that you are at your mum's, that won't be as satisfying in her garden.

Clay Pigeon shooting is good fun and I'm often out with my guns (not as much this year). I take part in annual Pheasant shooting, but that's not many peoples cup of T.
Clay's are challanging and if you have a few m8's who are beginners too, it's a great sport. I was the first at my work to get my licence a few years back and now there are 5 licencees in my dept who are always challanging each other. It can be addictive, thus you can easy spend a fortune! Prices can vary, but say £20/25 for 50 clays (inc hire of gun & cartridges). That can take up to 2 hrs depending how many are in your group.

There's always the usual boring Golf, but it's not really high adrenilane stuff, unless you are like me and can't even hit the ball, so you just get madder and madder.......

Also dabble in model making and other crafty things, but I've to be very bored to open up the boxes sitting in the back room.

So much hobbies to choose from!
My bro is single, lives in a top floor flat and is ALWAYS busy. He tries his hand in anything that he hears about through friends, notices, etc. Thats one way to keep your mind busy, with a variaty of sports/events.

Finally dusted off my mountain bike and gonna try to exercise,
Turn into a fatter cunt since doing my back in again and not playing 5 a side.

Had a do at Motorcross the other week on a mates bike, great laugh, shittied upto glory, fucking knackered for 4 days but would do it again, proper workout
Just not at the top of the financial priority list at the moment

I go out every weekend on my road bike though unless the weather is proper dog shit, do 200+ miles around differant places, take the camera too as we rarely have a destination in mind so we dont know what were gonna see
