    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?

    Waxing the carrot is as good a pastime as any.;);)

    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
