Not really a hobby as such, but spent far too many years in the deep dark forests listening to the sweet sounds of repetitive beats
Yep..totally get that ?I played a bit a few years ago and thought I was a reasonable player. Until I played someone who actually was reasonable; they ran me ragged and barely broke a sweat!
I forgot the pic for attention…
This was taken after my first ever rebreather dive. I bought it on eBay while in a coffee shop in Amsterdam and took it to a quarry to try it out. The phrase “covered in glue and rolled around a dive shop” springs to mind…

I’ve done some odd things after being in a coffee shop in Amsterdam but never bought a diving suit ?
Stoney Cove?
Yeah I did my nitrox and dry suit quallys there. What a cold, murky shithole. Or at least it seemed it, after doing all my initial qually dives in the Seychelles. I never dived again in the UK after that, I decided I much preferred wearing nothing other than budgie smugglers in 30 degC water and visibility of god knows how many metres. Oh, and being able to see some amazing sealife at just 10~15m depth.
Oh hell no! I couldn't think of anything worse! It's all about rust for me, the fish just get in way of the wreck! A good dive for me meant surfacing covered in rust after squeezing into an inverted engine room with zero ambient light.
This sounds mildly erotic
It sounds like you're trying to re live that honeymoon night over and over again...
Memories ??I did have a 1955 Standard 8
Might have dropped a 660cc 3 cyl, screaming Japanese turbo engine in it...

Being a massive early Genesis fan( Gabriel era) ..I used to think of Marillion as rip off merchants ..only in recent years have I come around to liking them ..
They are also " friends" of my favourite " Prog " band of recent times ..Gazpacho .
Can you recognise the guitarist playing the outro on this track ..
Sounds bloody terrifying….?
Fine line ?

Have been keeping marine fish for 20yrs, this tank is 4months old.
My other passion is cars, specifically Lotus Cars.
This is my current Lotus, Series 2 Exige S.

My other hobby is trailrunning, it is a very good complement to mtb cycling.
Control the T, control the game! I played for years too & loved it, couldn't get on court fast enough, all the way up until I knackered both knees, one ankle & ultimately ended up in the operating theatre having my shoulder rebuilt. No regrets!I played a bit a few years ago and thought I was a reasonable player. Until I played someone who actually was reasonable; they ran me ragged and barely broke a sweat!
I loved playing against bashers, easiest thing in the world to just wait for the ball to come back off the back wall.
HaHa! Agreed? I only stopped when I slipped a disc on court aged 25 which half paralysed my leg for 8 weeks and then got better without surgery, phew - so stopping seemed a good plan to me as well ? I sometimes played a big obese (I can say obese, right?) bloke with taped up knees. He didn’t so much control the T as seemed generally unable to move from it ? Bloody hard to beat him tho’…
Also windsurfed for a few years but could never really nail carve gybing. The day I finally got waterstarting was memorable though. Fact is Kiting is the death knell for windsurfing. A kite & board you can chuck in the boot of your car vs a van with a false floor to cart four masts, six sails & three boards about is just no contest. Same way paragliding. Killed hang gliding, only the diehard aluminium enthusiasts keeping that alive these days.

I've been kite surfing for over 10 years now (although haven't been out for a few months now). Definitely notice a lot less people out now days compared to when I first started, reckon the hype has died down a little. Still get a few pole dancers out at my local spot (they spend more time in the car park rigging up). Winging and foiling is getting very popular though.
Reminds me of late 80s when snowboards started appearing in Europe.
Firstly they were called "Ironing Boarders"
but then it went politically incorrect with "Gays on Trays". 
I still surf, skateboard and really miss my Hot Rod, just my lifestyle means I can’t have one. This used to be mine.

I sense some resentment, perhaps envy 
They are probably where the phrase, "All the gear and no idea"', originated... Social skiers we called them. Spent all day in the cafe...The snowboard place I did seasons in called the skiing lot with their 1970's onesies & Poivre Blanc mirrored wraparound sunnies dicks with sticks. What goes around comes around.
One of my customers dressed up as a nun for 'a laugh' on a ski trip. Did the whole three hour lunch thing halfway up the mountain, then whilst sketching it off piste, his habit flapped up over his head & he skied into a tree & broke his arm. ?
