    How many of you have no hobby/interest in one area? There would be so much less in life without a hobby.Plenty of peoples sole enjoyment comes from going out on the piss with the girls or lads on a Saturday(fck that gets old fast).

    Je suis learning to speak french -


    After 5 years I think I've nearly got the hang of it.

    I haven't drank since the 3rd of December.

    This fact is interesting to no-one but me.

    I'm hoping to take up home brewing next year. Does being my own beer taster count as a hobby?

    Dam right it does! On that subject i got talking to a lad who spent some time in the joy.He is fond of the drink so he could formulate a cider like drink from bread and apples.He said it tastes like cider but with the strength of wine they call it hoooch.

    It was really really annoying me that I had no hobbies so I took up fire poi (spinning fire on chains). Tis great craic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 111 ✭✭Paulor94


    Does gaming count?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee

    Do you ride a hobby horse?

    I used to collect stamps and coins but now just like to go bicycling, may it be a hobby? I think having a hobby is not mandatory to be a real human....

    I've always had loads of hobbies. I never thought much about them until last year when I did my post grad and literally did nothing except sleep, eat and do work for that post grad. When I finished I was left with nothing to do because I was after giving up EVERYTHING to do the work. It was a depressing realisation so now I'm getting them all back. I know loads of people who do nothing on their evenings and days off work except watch the telly.

    My hobbit is eating hobbies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    when I don't have time for hobbies I wish I had all the time in the world for them, when I have time for them I don't partake in them

    I run, climb and scuba dive. Thems the hobbies. But having young kids, I spend my weekends watching kids tv


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    I have young kids, then I run, climb and scuba dive out of there. This too is a hobby.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭John Doe1


    Knitting and bestiality, bit tame i know:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭ElleEm


    I only really started looking for hobbies last year when I stopped working.
    Now I have loads of little things to keep going, but I see how easy it is to exist without one when you're busy with work and life!

    reading, singing, cello, german

    very busy bee, i am


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    The respectable ones: I have listening to ambient piano and jungian psychology.

    Art is a job now so its difficult to make it a hobby.

    Couldn't say going to gigs is a hobby it would be if I had to funds, actually if I had 8 euro spare a week I'd join a club (see the artist bit explains a lot of the funding issues here ;))

    I learnt how to knit 5 times, never bothered with any of that cast off shóite oh and kept forgetting how to knit.

    Playing guitar, nice and relaxing I know chords play just to amuse myself but never bothered to memorise any tabs

    I love walking and jogging but I'm afriad to go out alone.

    It takes focus and a bit of discipline to keep up a hobby both of which I am sorely lacking.

    Does watching pornography count?

    If not, going to the gym is my hobby


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I collect christmas cards and must have oh ...about 20,000 now and when I drag them out to look at them ( which is everyday ) I put '' I wish it could be christmas every day ' on the cd player ...then it really does feel like christmas every day to :)







    psst - I really don't collect christmas cards at all :cool:

    I haven't really got any hobbies. Never did.

    I'm trying to find some though. I like birds and find them interesting,so I kinda like bird watching,so i've got myself binoculars and am getting a kick ass camera.i might end up liking photography.

    I kinda like reading,but haven't the concentration to read much now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 821 ✭✭✭temply


    Some peoples hobbies are dangerous & get them into serious trouble


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    I like to thrash ruffians from my steed at the weekends after the hunt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    I make sculptures out of belly button fluff.

    I'm currently working on a project which should be erected in the centre of my local city centre in the near future. It's fairly spectacular tbh.

    what's obsolete?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I'm not sure you would calls it as a hobby but I like to frame historical stuff like historical newspapers ie, Kennedy /Lennon assassinations ,some military patches ,emblems ,prints and photos and other odds and ends like military badge pins .Most of my books ,cd's and original tape cassettes are up in the attic . I like to go to see live music and concerts as much as I can so I suppose that might be considered a hobby of sorts .

    My friend who's added to it over the years has a collection of Beatles memoribillia which has been valued at £30,000 .Now that's a hobby :)

    The only thing worse than people without hobbies is people who have hobbies who think that because they have hobbies, that it automatically makes them more interesting or superior in some little way to those people who don't have hobbies.
