Webdesign/creating online games etc:

http://www.shakinouts.com
http://www.northernmusicevents.com
http://www.globalconflict.org.uk

I'm still learning as you can see!

I also enjoy watching F1, sim-racing, listening to music and playing games in general.

Spending time with my wife and 2 young children is quite time consuming!

Oh, I play Hattrick too. In fact you just reminded me to pick my team for tomorrow!

If you like cricket then you might want to try Battrick.

Not sure you can consider it my hobby, more like my life, but that would be music. I have my BA in music, and play in a band that I write all the music for. http://www.myspace.com/messengerrna this is our myspace, and this is our web site http://www.messengerrnamusic.com/ . Anyway, I can't call it a hobby, since I have invested well over $100,000 in it threw the years :shock: , and I would drop everything, to do it for a living (again, but that another story)!

My hobby's are.-
Playing football,Watching Leicester City Lose,Fishing,Video games(XBOX360 on live mainly at the minute)Sim Racing on PC,Going out with friends for a beer or 10,

I also for a laugh bought an old TS50X 50cc moped last year off ebay for £150 to relive my youth ! & have spent ages fixing it up & replacing old parts & tuning parts to get it to 50 mph ! I use it for work now if the weather is ok. I added a 70cc big bore kit, 2 teeth larger front sprocket,6 teeth smaller rear,bigger main jet, big one front pipe. New ignition,battery,seatcover,kickstart,rear tyre, plus more I've forgotten.
Spent over double what the bike cost in the first place I told my girlfriend it would save me money on fuel but all I have done is spend out on it so far ! hopefully that's it as it is now MOTD I'll just ride it from now on.

What is the nascar looking car at the bottom of your pics Davey?

Simracing and Cycling for me (have 4 bikes want another) and the kids take up all the rest of my time. I'd like to swim more as an additional way of keeping fit but never get the time either. Watching most forms of motorsport on telly goes without saying.

I take my daughter to a diving lesson (i.e. off boards not deep sea :P ) and they have adult lessons too, quite fancy trying one :)

My bike I race on has just one gear, if I want to go faster, I have to pedal quicker :P

Sim-racing and maintaining the team website. Used to be an admin/webmaster at V8Thunder which took up a lot of time, but I'm free of that now. :)

My only other 'hobby' is also my only form of exercise - indoor rowing. I tend to go to the gym four times a week for different kinds of sessions, from 8 x 500m sprints, to 60 min steady rows. My main aims are to go sub-7 for 2km and sub-40 for 10km. I think I might achieve the latter soon, but the former will require another few months of training.

Attend races every now and then. Here I am at February's Scottish Indoor Rowing Championships where I won a bronze medal in the Royal Mile Challenge.

Other than that, reading, watching films, drinking vodka...

Only if I take the erg outdoors... ;)

My gym is at Strathclyde Park, and it has its own rowing club (who train in my gym during the winter months). I'm not too bothered about rowing on-the-water, but I have told myself that if/when I go sub-7, I will consider it.

Sports - F1 and F1 stock cars, play 5 a side most weeks on a thursday, Rugby League, was a 2nd rower/forward for 7 years until i broke my wrist and was a season ticket holder at Bradford bulls for many years until we had the little one, football as you all know a liverpool supporter, video games on pc and wii.
Like music and films and have a large collection of historical military books.
I have played golf before but not seriously enough for a handicap as David can probably tell you!!

Mine are:

Motorsports (Got both a rally car and a racing car, a VW Golf and a Renault Clio respectively, and I competed in gokarts for 8 years until 2006 when I started with racing. After this season we will sell the racing car (buyer's anyone?) and move over full time to rallying, dad's been rallying since 40 years so I guess it's pretty natural to do it for me :P).

Bandy (Most of you don't know 'bout the sport (though USA have a womens team 8)). It's kind of a mix between Hockey and Soccer, the field is of the size of a soccer field but you play on ice and use orange small balls and different sticks. Picture coming!)

Play the Guitar. (Bought a Gibson SG Faded last fall and trying to learn as much as possible. I'm still a big n00b but it's fun as hell and with some practice I might become a good guitarist!)

And simracing ofcourse (I have played racing games since a long time ago and I just can't get enough of them!)

Some pics then:

I like the finish on that SG Erik. I had one similar when I was in college but a bit more red.

Ok. I think this one's called wooden brown or something. The one you had might have been Cherry red, considering it was the faded model.

And Jonas, well I'm still a very n00b at this but I've heard humbuckers are pretty good, though of course every pickups have their own sounds! :)

Dad and I are looking for a Telecaster actually, but we haven't found anything yet. It would be fun to have oone ach of Gibson and Fender cause the sounds can be so different...
