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

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Between college, boyfriend and facebook, I don't see any time...!
    Language learning can be fun, but I'd only bother during summer breaks and whatnot

    Why would you bother spending more than 10 minutes a day on that thing? Im sure anything you do there is far from productive.

    a few hours a week learning a language is far more productive than facebook.
