What other 'things' do u all do?

Obviously, we are all here because we run in some shape or form , but what else does everyone do to occupy their time?

I'm having a nosey night you see.

Me, I currently work (unfortunately booo hiss) and then I have a 4 legged beast to deal with each night - that being a horse and not some weird twisted reference! When I have the time, and a partner I like to get out on my mountain bike and pick up as man cuts and bruises as possible - I'm not very good at getting over stuff, I just hit it then go flying Jumping it is toooo scary (although I will happily do it on my horse!).
If I have pennies I go out and cause havoc, although at 25 I am realyl losing interest in getting bladdered and making more of a tit of myself - I will leave the shambles drunk states to my OH.
Other than that I draw stuff when I feel the 'urge'

I will also admit to being a Bebo user, so for the nosey of you have a look for Iliekshoes1982 - and no its not spelt wrong

I don't mind sharing.

I work for Jewsons specializing in renewable energy.

My other hobby is Archery (interesting that as I wrote this I was thinking of my exercise as a hobby rather than a chore)

My only other real passion is my Wife who is my soul mate.

I Work as a Design Engineer for Jaguar Land Rover, run, fiddle around with computers (building them and working with, inc some website design stuff). Love getting stuck into about any sport going - I've done a reasonable amount of mountain biking, (including some jumps ), tried various bits n bobs like horse riding etc (which the missus is into) and erm... that's about it! (complicated fella eh? )

I'm a Health Trainer with the NHS. I swim 4 or 5 times a week and run, walk or cycle everywhere as I am unable to drive. I am also a 6th Dan black belt in traditional Wado Ryu karate and run my own karate club. I like to relax with a book or my playstaion 3.

I'm a University Research Fellow and Lecturer in science and technology studies (study social, economic and legal aspects of the life science). When I'm not doing that I run, do some low level indoor climbing, do some hill walking and play my new wii

I'm a work-shy Council desk jockey during the day, and run, go to the gym and play the guitar the rest of the time. I tend to go to quite a few concerts, about 20-30 a year, and have been known to stalk my favorite bands across the country when they're on tour in the UK.

Secretary by day, but in my spare time I enjoy going out on the bike. Other than that I'm pretty much one of those disgusting couch potatoes i despise, but I just can't help it! Maybe I need some more engery-rich roods in my diet

I'm a data analyst, a 7th kup at Tae Kwon Do (just so you know, that's a long, long way off black belt!) and a keen photographer, plus I'm learning how to garden by tackling ours, which was neglected for abt 10-15 years by the previous owners. I've also been researching my family history, but haven't had a spare minute to do any research for a few months now.

I was a black belt when I worked the doors, it didn't help much. In the end just had to go with the flow and fight like the punters. Still kept getting slapped though:eek:

Pass on my congrats to your son; brown belt that is excellent

Edit: It wouldn't happen now due to my running skills

Getting thumped is good compared.....you can thump people back.

Iv had it all, bitten, scrathed, bottled, chairs, tables, even a vibrator. The worst iv had is been spat at....i hate that, normally women do things like that.

My mate had urine thrown over him one night.

We all wear stab jackets now.

Its not a nice job, but its good money so i do it because
