    So that's it after 20 years so long good luck?

    Can I borrow a feeling? :(

    Classic cars, even though I don't have any at the mo.

    A few years ago, when I turned 40, I started gardening. Something I thought was very boring before.

    Also. Rock gigs. Usta go to loads. Hardly ever now.

    Went to the Who in the O2 last June though....

    This means that I've seen Who gigs in the '80s.'90s, 00's & now this decade, whatever it's called.....

    Recently, I've gotten back into Airfix kits & doing a little bit of hoarding on the side.

    Eyeballing, you stare at the back of someone's head for as hard and as long as you can while counting. The aim is to count for as long as possible until they turn around and look at you, bonus points for staring blankly into their face when they catch you. It's addictive, you'll set some real records sitting in the back row of the cinema.

    Hardly. That's eight things, and not one involves plonking in front of d'telly.

    I don't watch telly. :pac: They're pretty boring things, though! I should have picked something more exciting, like sky-diving while wearing a burning parachute. Would have made me sound cool. :(

    I love Vespa's ~ the sorriest thing I've ever done is get rid of my PX200, I adored it.

    Right mine, well I've a fairly busy person..

    Weight train in the mornings, BJJ at lunch time and Judo in the evenings.

    If I'm not working or doing any of those things I'll be washing/riding my motorbike or listening to rock/metal.

    Finally, I've an unhealthy interest in Irish whiskeys!.

    Ham Radio.

    my kids say why not just use skpe?

    I say....

    you COULD buy fish in Tesco, but loads of people enjoy fishing.....

    that's what HAm radio is like..... you send you signal out into the ether and see who answers.....

    in the last half hour I've spoken to Arkansaw, Ukraine, & Spain.

    EI6** here ~ although I haven't been active in a long time, but mostly hung on the low bands and 30 mtrs and all CW.

    It all ended when I had to move house and didn't have room for low band antenna's and was threatened with death if I even thought about a 3 ele Tri-Bander.

    Since I was a competitive CW key I quickly lost interest.
