What are your hobbies outside of Watches ?

[Neil.C]

Another City fan here - 3 on the same thread: we are clearly the watch enthusiasts' club of choice!!

i'm with you entirely on the rebrand. I didn't make the trip Saturday as had other commitments but I've kept my Season Ticket despite having a 350-mile round trip to make when I get the chance to go.

What do you call yourselves now.........the redbirds?

TBH I was genuinely surprised that something as traditional as the clubs colours being changed at CC was met with such light resistance.

Interestingly most fans are like us, they don't like it but they are willing to look past it for the sake of club survival. We were being wound up by HMRC prior to the investment and the demands that came with it.

We'll probably loose a few hundred fans over it, but its the world of modern football we live in. It could be worse, we could be Wimbledon / MK Dons

[Puller]

Cars, Crossfit and golf!

drinking too!

I didn't realise things had got so bleak down there, obviously you had to go with the flow or have no club.

I agree re Wimbledon, very bad scene. I used to go down Plough lane quite often in the old days.

With 3 boys there isn't a lot of time but I squeeze in beekeeping, hillwalking (with the boys), shooting (one or two driven shoots and a little game shooting), bit of photography, nature/birdwatching, collecting old books by local writers and fixing whatever the boys break.

[itsgotournameonit]

And in no particular order



Work is still a priority

Spending time after work with the wife .

Our African Gray Parrot "Charlie"

and "Fudge"


He needs loads of exercise (trust me) which he gets we love to walk miles for him.

Also like this Yellow Tail wine

Photography (If you can call it that)

[Antony23]

Big Cardiff City fan, also follow the Wales football and rugby teams, and the Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey.

Collect loads of Welsh sports/music memorabillia. Well, I call it collectables, my girlfriend calls it c*ap!

[bmwrover]

Ex Army Land Rovers (slow speed)
Motorcycle (fast speed)
Bicycle (fitness speed)

[Ventura]

Cars, computers, video games, and DIY.

[amnesia]

I love cycling... but hate riding in the wet so end up confined to the turbo through winter :(

Here's my steed for the past two years, but it's going to be replaced in March with some Canyon aero loveliness

[pinpull]

... a great deal of this...






... with an obscene amount of this!






Much beer and wine consumption is naturally required after both pursuits, as there is after hillwalking which I do for the rest of the time!

[pauluspaolo]

I do a lot of backstage work (crewing, sound, stage managing etc) for a variety of amateur dramatic companies here in Leeds - the main theatre I work in is The Carriageworks Theatre on Millenium square, but I've also crewed at The Grand Theatre & Leeds Playhouse.

I like old cars & am currently modding/restoring a Reliant Scimitar SS1 - thread here: http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...ebuild-upgrade - should be a fun car when done :)

Beyond the above two - pubs, beer, cinema, wildlife, walks on the coast & blobbing in front of the telly :) :)

[proby24]

A whole host of things but the two main drains on the old bank balance are Travel and Wine.

I watch quite a lot of sport; massive boxing fan, the NFL (Chicago Bears) and the NHL hockey when the b@stards are playing...

I love cooking, I try and get in the kitchen most evenings. Taken loads of cooking classes all over the World: France, Italy, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam...

[jmeizosopaz]

Old cars, and Trekking

[johnbaz]

Er.. forgot to mention my collection of vintage spring air rifles.

Started with a couple of German vintage guns and took off from there.

Paid very little for most of them. People here seem to be glad to get rid of them.

Love the workmanship and the sheer quality of these older models though.

Not easy to find these days.

Hi Calypso

You have some lovely rifles, must say your Original or Diana mod 50(B?) looks fantastic

I've collected airguns for a while now and prefer the older springers to the modern day Precharged Pneumatics...

You can view mine HERE if you wish...



Cheers, John

[jeromeo]

Another cyclist here.
Used to do a couple of long distance mountain races a year, transalp etc.
Sailing also, and race on a yahct sunday mornings.
I used to fly gliders as a youngster, and will probably take up again when i am older.

[spareparts]

2 wheels, 4 wheels, petrol power...

Lots of hillwalking

[therooster]

[dougjb]

Jetskis
Boats
R/C cars
Weight training
Martial arts
Artistic gymnastics
Scuba diving

A few more things, but what occupies most of my time these days is my 5yr old daughter!

[Atlantic]

Climb some mountains, shoot a few clays (not at the same time, obviously)

[gmt 16750]

Scuba diving,
Rugby (just watching these days),
Kitchen knives, for reasons I cannot explain I love high quality blades, especially Damascus,
Butterflies and buddleias also Monkey Puzzle trees,
Mountain biking (just gentle stuff),
Surfing and body-boarding (but only in tropical seas),
'Man V Food', my son and I are going to do our own road trip in the next couple of years,
DAB Radios, I have 6, I suppose I am a bit of a kleptomaniac really, which is why I have
about 30 watches, most I never wear but I have only ever sold one watch.

Are you saying you steal most if your stuff............? ;-)

[Steveo]

used to spend ages reading up on motorbike reviews, then ages hunting for the best one available then keep them in the garage for a year (do no miles on them then sell them on) an endless hunt for the ultimate bike.

Top bikes where,

Tuono 1000 - super smooth v twin.
VMax 1200 the sound would blow you away of that v4
MV Agusta 750 - unbelievably unconfortable but what a handling machine....

Also had KTM, Buell, Triumph Trident and a speed triple and others....

Now lusting over my next car, not sure what it will be as I have an Alpina at the moment and its such a great car. I'm tempted by the D5 and the Panamera hmmm

I like to cook when I'm home and I bought a smoker this year so have been dabbling with pulled pork and other things (I too am mesmerised by Man vs Food)

I do like to eat at good quality places and enjoy good wine (like many others here)

My proper hobby for the last 3 years has been drumming, play for fun with some mates and we do dreadful covers but its important to do stuff other than work. go have a look for Benny Greb, the thinking mans drummer.

[Davidh]

Lots of hillwalking

..John, I like your mountain. Where is that and would a fellow be welcome to put a tent up?

Thanks..David..up the road from you.

Man v. Food sounds very daytime TV, but assuming you're into smoking in a serious way, what do you think of this? Thinking primarily in terms of what's practical outside a London flat; I can hot or cold smoke anything in reason at my in-laws'.

[ninjaguppy]

Bodybuilding and nutrition. So if you need some xmas advice on getting in shape don't hesitate to ask!

[Lammylee]

Collecting paintings.

collecting limited edition or rare watches is addictive, however with original paintings there is only ever 1 of 1. It can get very expensive!

[Kirk280]

Classic cars, malt whisky, martial arts (not at the same time!)

Although in the last couple of years it's mainly babies! (And whisky)

[Caruso]

Cars (BMW 540 and 308GT4) and motorbikes (Superblackbird and Vectrix), but most of my waking time is taken up with my 6 month old daughter or work.

[DiscoDave]

Playing Badminton and line judging, Rugby (watching only now), Football (watching only now), cooking and watching any cookery program for ideas.
