Lenny - shocked and surprised that "Posting on Grove Social Club website forum"  isn't top of your list.

Pole dancing perhaps?

I like sleeping too, but probably wouldn't have listed it as a hobby before I became a parent and it became a scarce commodity.  Funny isn't it?

I wouldn't describe them as interesting as in unusual but they interest me.

Travelling (potentially expensive, time consuming and difficult with an infant, currently on hold)

Reading (Anything from Booker nominees to Heat magazine to bus timetables)

Horse Riding (I had to give this up due to TLF, otherwise I'd be looking for a job in a certain jump jockey school)

Hill walking (this has been on hold for a while due to...... is a pattern developing here?)

And talking sh*te on web forums.

Hey X,

Where's the Hurling in there ?

Mine,if anyone's interested,

Supporting the Dubs. Can be bad for the health but on some occasions can be most rewarding.

Penning parodies 'bout me mates ( both real and cyber.)

Visiting foreign cities,particularly those in Eastern Europe,with groups of Green clad soccer supporters,singing " There's only one Keano "

Bit of golf here and there,though like Xgh,my small fella's getting in the way of that as it golf tends to clash with his fledgling GAA career.

Then the general stuff,The Sopranos, walking with headphones filled with live music,Tom Humphries' Locker Room column in Monday's Irish Times and of course chatting to you lot.

Oh yeah,sorry Xgh,you're too tall to be a jockey.

Rolo.

Here's an oldie that I'd like to bring back.

I enjoy driving in the country be it in my car but especially on my motorbike.

I love music.

I power walk to try and keep in reasonable shape.

I love soccer, especially Man U.

Loving groving on this website.

Enjoy travelling especially to the sunj and especially Thailand.

Also enjoy casual walks on the beach, on Howth summit and in castle parks like Ard Gillan.

Enjoy reading a good book or watching a good film or documentary.

And last but not least myself and Puy love to go somewhere and have a picnic.


Oh, and in summer drining wine in the back garden and in winter drinking wine either listening to music or watching TV 
May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Least of my priorities

At my age life's too short. Need more relaxation time.

As John Lennon said, "Whatever get's you through the night, is all right, is all right"

Same goes for life.

By the way the 27th anniversity of his death comes up on the 8th of the month.

Tragic, wonder what he'd be producing now?

Hobbies....I've given up playing guitar as a bad job but here's my other hobbies:

Reading - I love to read. I spend a lot of time with my nose in a book.

Internet - I'm not sure if this is a hobby or an addiction but yeah, I love to surf and chat.

Music - Enough said. I'm on the Grove forum aren't I?

Beadwork - ok, this is currently on hold until Ciara is a little bit older and I can leave my stuff around safely but I like to make pretty things with beads and had a regular stall at the Rush craft fair up until a couple of years back. Hoping to get into it soon.

Record collecting - this usually consists of chasing down most of the Mission's back catalogue but I love the thrill of finding a rarity on ebay and bidding for it.

Creative writing - I write erotic fiction...but that's a whole other forum. ;)

Jaysus What hobbies do I have now.... Really can't think

Well I get paid for one of my hobbies, messing around with computers

Reading(don't do enough of it).... Before Joan says anything yes I been reading the same book for the last year.

Gaming online(Do too much of this and this is why I don't read too much)

Record Collecting- Haven't done it in a while but I have collected some good records over the years

Internet/Surfing agree with Jen it isn't a hobby more of an addiction....

New Hobby for 2008
Start reading Jen Erotic fiction .... Where can I read this ??...
