Other Hobbies apart from CIGARS ......

[RobM]

I'm new to the site and was wondering what other hobbies people on here have apart from the Love of Cigars...I'm interested in Tattoo's which I have many of and I also keep two planted Fish tanks ...One is 6ft x 2FT X 2FT 600 litre and a much smaller 90 litre tank....At the mo i'm in the throws of having an amazing full back piece tattoo ...which is taking up a few pennies.If anyone is interested in some pic's I've uploaded a few...This is my back tattoo in progress223289_10150181423319357_81435434356_6784179_3438387_n.jpg246733_10150201055254357_81435434356_6944875_3142363_n.jpg251459_10150270095929357_81435434356_7470828_4499595_n.jpgI've had a couple of more sitting since these pics Rob

Looking scary there Rob.

I quite often wake up in the middle of the night with ideas and rather than wake up the main squeeze I keep a sharpie by the bed where I can find it in the dark and write on my arms without seeing what I'm writing, Sometimes I wake up looking like the guy from Memento... however it scrubs off. That's as close to tattoos as I've ever come.

I have 2 things which take up a lot of time, the first is bodybuilding, and the second is also warhammer as you know reaver. I have done a bodybuilding show and have entered a few warhammer painting competitions

Allotment gardening is quite a passion of mine, as is making specialist conversion parts for Multiplier Fishing and Tournament casting reels.

MUSIC!!!

I listen to a lot. I sing, and play the electric, acoustic and bass guitars, the violin and the piano. I must own over ?5k of musical and recording equipment. I record occasional covers and a lot of my own stuff. Most of my free time goes to it, aside from my PS3.....

Here's a cover i did of a song named Another Time by Hurt, an 'Art Rock' band based in California. Please have a listen, i'm quite proud of it.

With the exception of the drums (which were synthetic) everything in it is done by me on real instruments, including the vocals.

On top of about a dozen of my own tracks, one project i'm currently working on is a cover of The Current, originally by The Blue Man Group and Gavin Rossdale. I have planned some real changes to it, i'm looking forward to it.

Cars are probably my top hobby. Quite enjoy driving them (especially drifting... love drifting) and talking about them. Used to be all about the Lambo's, but as I am now getting old (24) it's now about classics... Bugatti's (no Veyron, hate the thing), pre war Rolls Royces and Bentleys, Aston Martins (any era will do), Ferrari's (would give up cigars to own a 250TR). There are some fantastic driving roads around where I live where my humble little Ford Focus can amuse...

Other than that have started to get quite into photography of late. Play golf/swing a golf club and occasionally hit a golf ball, which promptly gets lost somewhere on another golf course. And attempt to play guitars and bass a bit.

So many interests, so little time.

I play golf off 12, it should be better but given everything else I do it's not bad.

I collect (and drink) malt whisky and am interesed in the distilling process. I've visited a lot of Scottish Distilleries, even some that are closed to visitors. I'll be visiting Scotland four times this year to add a couple more to the list and to revisit some I have already been to and to attend two separate whisky events.

I am learning to play the 5 string banjo, I've been having lessons for nearly 2 years now with the last 12 months being more productive than the first 12 months. I think I'll always be learning though.

Oh and I do a bit of photography, mostly linked to visiting distilleries and Scotland.

As I said so many interests and so little time. It's a wonder I manage to fit a fill time job, a wife and two teenage daughters in.

Like others before me I'm very in the tattoo scene. Love to ride and restore motorbikes. Love my Lego lol such a damn kid. Like reading in keeping with others here have just found the Horuse Heresy books (not into W40k at all) but this series seems to be seriously well written. Used to enjoy racing cars but couldn't afford to keep it up and was pretty dreadful at it. Other than that like online gaming. That's about it I think

[Stevieboy]

My big passion is book-collecting. I have complete runs of UK firsts of Stephen King. Every single book by F Paul Wilson. Near complete collection of Philip K Dick
I'm looking at Ian Fleming firsts at the moment but some of the earlier books are upwards of ?4k....Casino Royale is ?20k+. Might have to pass on that one

I'm also a huge comic fan especially DC's Vertigo imprint: Sandman, Hellblazer, Y the Last Man etc....

[Pandyboy]

Camera are my other weakness. Just love buying a new lens or filter. I also love sci fi, geeky but then I am!

[Sludgie]

Keyboards and synthesisers are my big thing. I play in a 1980s tribute band, and I like collecting vintage kit from the 1980s. I have a DX7 mk 1, a Roland JX3P and my vintage pride and joy - a Prophet 5. I also have a lot of new kit, including my new Korg Kronos. Just the right mix to do all those Human League, OMD, Depeche Mode covers! (amongst others)

[SmokeyDave]

My latest hobby is running, never done it before and totally rubbish at, still it's dark out late at night so no one can see my terrible technique!

I love motorbike racing having followed it for many many years, especially MotoGP, World Superbike and British Superbike. I have owned a lot of bikes which eventually lead me to an addiction to track days, but five years ago hung up my leathers after deeming I'd had a lucky time with no accidents.

Also enjoy cooking, whiskey (which I only have a small collection of, they end up being quaffed way too fast to class as being a proper collector, the same with Brandy/Cognac. Just getting into Rums.

I am fascinated by Martial Arts, I studied Wing Chun when young and although I don't practice any more I still enjoy the philosophy and reading about the history & styles.

My loft is full of old 30mm miniatures, a hangover from being heavily into Dungeons & Dragons as a youngster, that led me into the painting of them (partly because my fathers company used to print White Dwarf magazine, so I had free copies for many years). I have some unopened limited edition figures from open days at the Games Workshop Factory back in the 80's/early 90's.

Other hobbies?
Hmmn.. Let me think..

Well recently, I?ve been working on attaining a tranquil state of inner peace and harmony.. (How do you think I?m doing so far?).

[L_DOG]

I am a bassist for two original rock bands and working on another one which should be up and running this time next year! Getting back into film making and shooting a few shorts this year.

Also have dipped my toes in am dram as a stage manager, have now taken on a role as web admin for a new soc so I am fairly busy! Oh, I love my scifi books, comics and building technic models! I also do volleyball, golf and head to the gym when I can. I do all this, really? Hadn't realised how much I do!
