    Just wondering what people do for a hobby or pastime?
    I've never really had one and I'm looking for something that's not football or GAA related....and doesn't cost a fortune!

    Poker. Doesn't cost a fortune but makes you a fortune.

    Hiking and fishing for the win.

    Fly fishing at night for seatrout can't be beaten

    I've taken up sailing...INSC provides everything you need and over all it's not madly expensive

    At night? How do the trout see the ickle flies? Can trout even see?

    My hobby involves waving at random people driving their cars.

    I keep very fit, and I know that I wouldn't be hanging about online forums that's for sure...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭oldyouth


    Photography. Doesn't have to be costly, but addiction to it heads you down that road


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    My biggest?

    I'd say masturbating.

    Sad thing is I'm not even lying. College actually can't come soon enough!

    Art and bird watching.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    Reading.

    Followed by cooking.

    Followed by swimming.

    Followed by painting and drawing.

    Keeps me reasonably busy day-to-day :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,293 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker

    I used to do that loads when I was still in Germany... I have to say, I wouldn't be brave enough to cycle in Ireland. Not on these roads, with these drivers around.
    Good for you, though, I admire the guts. :)

    Loads of stuff....

    Music - mostly playing, cycling, cooking (and eating!), collecting carnivorous plants and cacti, studying (yes, it can be a hobby...), astronomy, reading... Soon adding field archery to the list.

    I don't own a TV.

    ;)

    Research your family history. Years ahead of discovery mixed with a little frustration. But persevere and it's very rewarding.

    Also canoeing. :)

    It has. Poster used the posh word for it though...

    That's not a hobby, it is a full time job.

    And you didn't read the whole thread before determining masturbation was definitely not mentioned?

    I read that as "hiking and fisting" first. Thought it was an odd combination

    Feck. Maybe you'd better mind your eyesight!

    Come on, you can pretend you missed this whole conversation, but deep down, you knew you were on to a good one. Just a pity you let 4 wpm stand in the way of comedic genius.

    Same :)


    I love growing my own organic fruit and veg. Nothing more pleasing than growing something from seed to taking it from your garden within the hour of eating it. Shop bought fruit and veg has never been the same to me since I've begun.

    Being in the garden always clears my head, so yes very therapeutic :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    Writing and baking cakes.

    :D:D:D

    I don't get it...you're like a troll that has somehow gone undetected for years, and amassed several thousand posts.

    How do you do it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,409 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Hope the OP isn't counting posts to help decide on his new hobby!

    He'll be a busy boy, with forearms like Popeye...
