    I know it well, so I do.

    what is it you do with a computer?

    Well, I like playing with Toonboom animation(but mostly just follow online animators), I know HTML some flash and photoshop, mess around with hardware etc so nothing special.
    But to be honest I mostly just like playing games, browsing sites, watching anime, and chatting in IRC. Might learn a bit more scripting, and maaaybe a programming language in the future but Im not that interested in it. Was thinking of continuing my studies in I.T but not sure if I want it as a career.

    oh also, I incorporate a few of my hobbies with the pc. Like my interest in Aviation, and railway.

    I think I got a few hobbies.

    I am pc gamer, spend alot of time playing with my friends.

    I love pc hardware, biulding my own gaming rigs, looking in to newest technologies.

    I am car enthusiast. Love cars and own some more interesting cars then "A to B" wagons. Unfortunatly with current economical climate this hobby is putten of road. For now...


    My misses has no hobbies and I could see her going mad. All she had at free time: watch telly. I tried to get her interested in stuff that I do, but it did not worked :(. Still trying to get her interested in something, but she just goes "meh".

    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.

    So whats your hobby?

    If it a dry day i will spend it either playing golf or tinkering with my car. But I don't really have any inside hobbies and with our crap weather i should really take up something i can do inside.

    I collect fridge magnets, I have enough now to cover a small Beko fridge door. My life would be empty without a hobby.

    Hmm, reading, film, cooking (espc preserves at the moment), theatre (when I have the money), bits of sewing and that.

    Not sure if those are hobbies or just things I like to do. They're not activities I pursue with any great goal in mind (like getting my golf handicap down to single digits or becoming fluent in French or that).

    I'm pretty lazy really. I think that's okay though. I reckon as long as you don't spend every minute of your free time watching cr&p on the telly you're probably doing okay.

    I write posts on boards in which I judge people. You wouldn't know anything about that I suppose though OP.

    Is laziness a hobby ?

    I'm into photography. I did a course on developing black and white film a few months ago and bought myself the equipment to do that. Going to try and get into sports photography in the new year.

    I play tabletop games, so boardgames and wargames and that. I also paint the models for the wargames.

    I'm into beer (this is a recent interest.) So trying out all the different kinds of beer out there, from German Pilsners to Belgian Lambics to American IPAs. I'm thinking of having a go at brewing my own in the future.

    I'm trying to get my friends into writing/building a sci-fi world with me. Just creating a website for it, and posting news for it. It'd be a blog and each day there would be a post that is from a news agency about new events and developments in that sci-fi universe. Had trouble getting people interested as they're all busy with work and college, but a few likely contributors have spoken up in the past week.

    I'm a rugby fan as well. Just back from watching the Munster match in the pub.

    All my hobbies are things I do with friends, apart from the photography and I am trying to get them into that. I don't like sitting around on my own, or not talking to people, but equally there's only so much sitting around with friends doing **** all you can do.

    I wouldn't mind collecting something. But it'd have to be cheap as I'm already verging on broke with my other hobbies.
