Re: Hobbies.
Pretty much anything active. Running, rock climbing, going to the gym/pool.

Re: Hobbies.
Ham Radio, Electronics, IT/Networking(also my job), Photography, Gardening, Military Aviation.
Used to play quite a bit of pool but no one seems to want to play anymore.
Electronics has always been a hobby sinced being very young, studied it after I left school and got some qualifications, but never had a job in that field. Computers/IT again started as a hobby in my early teens, and I now have a decent job in IT.
It woul'd be interesting how many people have hobbies that became jobs, or maybe jobs that use part of the skills they have learned from their hobbies.

I kinda went into Electronics and then IT support due to an early interest in computers and radio..
Now my current work involves motorcycles to an extent which I've always ridden

Re: Hobbies.
Computers, hacking, programming (but I'm not that good). Those three led to my current job.
On top of that, playing my guitars (again, not that good - not enough practice), reading, music, spending time with friends.
Would like to be able to say that I also enjoy Jiu Jitsu and running but my current health issues prevent me from partaking in either - hopefully once I'm all better though they'll be on the list too.

Re: Hobbies.
Online gaming via PS3 and Xbox, Air rifle shooting on a working farm (non target), repairing consoles PS3/xbox,
DIY or should I say BIY (Break It Yourself),
Gardening when I,m in the mood
Tinkering with cars and motorbikes, but I don't do much of that these days.
Oh and due to a recent addition to the family you can add babysitting to the list

Re: Hobbies.
Gaming (360 and PS3), reading, cinema (when we can get a babysitter), football (only watching it now, seeing as Mrs Nug has to work on the nights that I used to play).
Any friends on facebook will probably know that I've recently taken up running as well - started on the 1st March, and am currently up to 4˝ miles at a go, so either the actual running or the recovery seems to be taking most of my time up at the moment

Re: Hobbies.
I try badly to play games on my pc. I spend much time on that too. Learning Braille takes up much of my spare time these days.
That and my son and lady of course
