Do you have a hobby, Pets or train in a sport?.

    And if you do, does it reflect your personality?.

    Me, I train Judo & weight lifting/training.

    I've two dogs, a Pitbull and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who I think the world off - I treat them like children and get buddles of joy from them.

    To sterio type the above I should be a complete knuckle head, but I'm the biggest softie ever.

    Would you sterio type a person based on their past times or interests?.

    To me GAA players are tough lads, athletic with great personalities who love to drink and party hard when let lose.

    Soccer players, meh..

    Rugby players, tough lads. Genuine and mostly down to earth, kinda 'mens men'.

    Joggers - loners.

    Does posting on boards count as a hobby?

    It's ok you don't have to use euphemisms, you can say it, we all think it, homersexuals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Puddleduck


    No not really. I think youll be drawn to certain things because of personality...

    If thats true then I am one mixed up person

    Hmm I play soccer in goals and yes I guess Im a bit eccentric. I spend way too much time nerding up and love little projects like home linux servers but I don't wear glasses, get regular sex and never owned a pocket protector. So I guess some yes others no :D

    Edit: Then again at 5 foot 6 Im not a typical goalie either so no :)

    I train cats for a hobby. It's more challenging than training dogs and requires a different type of beating stick.

    Drinking tea in good company is my main hobby.
    I guess that means I like talking rubbish. Alot.

    You know any of my jogger friends are loners, and my GAA crushes big boozers.

    Basically it prevents pens leaking into your pocket.

    Are you an Alcoholic bouncer in real life then?

    One of Pigheads favourite hobbies is killing puppies. Being one of the better known psychopaths around the area, this hobby probably does reflect Pighead's personality

    Maybe your sig should be "Don't see a good night banned".

    That the DSPCA needs more inspectors ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    I have a west highland terrier and a Staffordshire bull terrier(Lovely dogs despite their horrible reputation :rolleyes: )

    Also train in weightlifting and boxing(though nowhere near as much as the weightlifting.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭Roadend


    I play soccer and there's several GAA players playing with us, they are not as big and tough as you seem to think


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭PurpleBerry

    Cool, I've made an emeny. And I didn't even have to do anything!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    I train at Olympic target rifle, would like to get involved in boxing, have a golden retriever/cocker cross (by the look of her, don't know her parentage) and write various bits of poetry and music, also like hunting, played rugby for years and would like to do it again, so... ?

    I used to have hobbies, I played GAA and footie for a while when I was younger, but I just stopped going.

    I also had a dog, used to walk her and play with her a lot. And my cat is the most anti-social creature on the planet.

    I want a new hobby, but requires effort :p

    He'll do it! Don't think he won't do it!

    I like computers. I play games, and like nerdy projects. I also get pissed frequently and don't wash my hair.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    write various bits of poetry


    I'd love the gift of being able to write poetry, seriously I envy you.

    Admit it, you dress it up in dog clothes sometimes.

    I'll put you on my enemy list so, but you've a long way to go to make it to my nemesis list.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    I played alot of junior hurling and soccer. Mainly confined to the gym these days because of various damaged ligaments and time constraints with work/college.


    I'd give me left ball to be able to play a match every Saturday again.:(

    True, sometimes I put a little belt on him. Around his neck.

    I've got a 3 year old boxer dog at home, don't really play sports but I have one out door hobby which I haven't had much time to get out and do recently because of work, starting again though :)

    I play GAA football, soccer and recently jogging/cycling, I write poetry, I sing and play the guitar (recently put some videos on Youtube), sometimes play video-games and I'm getting into photography.

    Sometimes I'm a loner, sometimes I need to be the centre of attention, sometimes I just need to be near a group of people/friends/family.

    I think I'm a more-balanced person now than I was at any other point in my 20 years, probably because I have so many varied interests.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    I'm a vaguely eccentric retiring English country gent with Olympic aspirations, going on my brief profile. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 113 ✭✭NibNib


    I have a lop-earred rabbit. She is very cute but when she is annoyed, she kicks her *beep* all over my floor...
    I love reading and video gaming, but I only play games online with friends, not to strangers...
    Used to swim and walk. But my sports now involves getting off the couch, going into the kitchen and putting the kettle on for a cup of tea...
    I think I m a hermit...:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,844 ✭✭✭Honey-ec


    I've blonde hair and big boobs and look like a complete girly-girl.

    I've three Boxers at home, I read Stephen King obsessively and Terminator 2 is my favourite film. I also think chick-lit/flicks should be banned under penalty of death.

    ETA: Oh yeah, I have a snake too, a Brazilian Rainbow Boa

    i have a rottweiler/labrador cross dog who i treat like my child

    http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e139/greatunderscoreofdoom/morty2.jpg

    but he's big and people think he's scary

    i'm 6'2" and weigh just under 17 stone and i weight train as well so i'm sure that people see me walking him and think stereotypical things but thats their issue im as nice as pie


    i aslo play airsoft but i'm not sure its around long enough to havea stereotype

    i like motobikes and have a mint '92 gsxr 750L last of the good air cooled ones so thats a hobby but i also like books and cahtting with strangers on the net

    i think that many stereotyps are a product of fear and i find that most peopele give what they get poeple are nice

    the one thing i will say is that people are nicer to me in real life than on boards but i believe that the web lets people vent and that you have to make allowances

    nice dogs

    ruby's lovely looking too Mairt


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    I have a corn snake, I used to have a bearded dragon but it died :( I want a dog but I have no room for it at the moment. When I move into a bigger place I might get one. But one from a shelter :) I would like a cat too, but not 100% sure about that one just yet ;)

    I love shooting, hunting mainly. I was in the reserves for about 5-6 years. I don't play any sports due to a pretty bad injury I got when I was playing lots of sports :) I go to the gym occasionaly. I also play a lot of games and watch a lot of DVD's and new films at the cinema. In season, I tend to go fishing on our boat and sometimes I fish in rivers. Not one for going out anymore. Rather have a few drinks at home with some mates. Some might see this as a hobby, but I love cooking, I love experimenting with foods and all that :)

    I would like to do some sports and classes but I am afraid of the "he must be gay if he's into that". :P

    This is Pat. Ive had him nearly 3 years now and love him to bits. Hes vain, self centered and very fussy about his food. Kinda like me. Cooking would be my number one hobby without doubt.

    I run (see above mentioned hobby:)) and walk and thats about it unless Im making up numbers for a team. Even then its just usually a pub quiz. Theres one in the local pub every week. Its gets fiercely compeditive between locals and blow ins. They hate it when we win! :pac:
    Ok, great. But do your interests or past times fit a sterio type that you don't comform to?.

    Ah - completly missed the question - so I guess I conform to the blonde stereotype!

    No is the answer. What you see and the assumptions you make are probably right. Although I did have short hair one time and theough I looked dykey. Does that count? (Im straight)

    Well people would consider me a nerd for having a huge interest in PC games and reading fantasy novels, that can be pretty annoying alright. I don't feel i conform to that stereotype at all, the lack of friends and the typical "nerd" look that a lot "average" people would associate with those pastimes/interests.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Irishcrx


    Yeah, sure we all gotta keep busy.

    I'm a drummer , guitarist , songwriter, generally just good with music. I do weight lifting aswell once or twice a week, used to do kickboxing but don't have the time at the moment. Have one dog aswell she never stops eating but we love her anyway... Got two lizards a bearded dragon and a water dragon...

    Then the usual football, computers whenever I get a spare second which isn't alot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭Zangetsu


    Musician meself, play guitar, bass, little bit of drums, harmonica, sitar and a little keyboard. I love recording and mixing tracks and it seems to be all I do outside work.
    Most describe me as mentally deficient child and a hippy.




    Most would be right...

    I generally do f*ck all .When i work, i post on boards, when i go home, i either walk the dog (boxer) go to the gym, or post on boards.

    Then the PS3 might get a spin later if its lucky.
