rickjames Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Since the start of the year mostly studying for stuff, currently deep into my Network+ book and kind of getting ahead of myself with thinking about MCSA stuff. Guess this year I've just had a bit of a motivational kick to get me doing stuff. If I can cover a few chapters of an evening in the living room with the football on I'm relatively happy, will only wind up getting bogged down once I buy lab equipment etc. Other stuff aside I'll generally wind up at the cinema. Kinda upped my cooking game as well, but coupled with study time eats into my evening somewhat.
LiamH Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Which pub? I'm looking for a decent pint of ale in Leeds! The angel was always good, sold a lot of Sam Smiths beer, Its hidden down a little ally on the main shopping street. Adelphi is always highly rated, and if you like live music the Hop is good for that. If you want a bonkers few drinks though go to the bierkeller, nothing quite like seeing rows of people with steins. Edited May 12, 2015 by LiamH
plexer Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Its awesome. A decent set of picks will cost you about £40 until you can make your own. I make mine from wiper blade inserts. I use Ebay to buy my locks and to be honest its an extremely cheap and rewarding hobby. Removing wheel clamp locks is very very rewarding I bought a new set of picks the other week and also a half euro cylinder with removable pins so been doing a bit of practice on that. Found I can pick one of my garden shed laptops in about 3 seconds, lol but been having fun with desk drawer locks and a couple of paper clips recently Ben 1

CAM Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Where did you learn that trade without GCHQ and the Police breathing down your neck?
Arreks Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Where did you learn that trade without GCHQ and the Police breathing down your neck? T'internet, GCHQ come @ us.
mikecain Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 i love my match fishing and clay pigeon shooting, trouble is the competitions often conflict. Need another sunday on a weekend.
plexer Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Where did you learn that trade without GCHQ and the Police breathing down your neck? ???? you talking about the lock picking? nothing wrong with it if you're picking locks that belong to you. Ben
GRitchie Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Aside from the stereotypical 'gaming', I play guitar, golf and go to the gym! I also have a part-time job as a technician at a local Sound/Lighting Hire company working in local venues. This helps a lot when it comes to doing school shows at my full time IT job!

vikpaw Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I too have picked it up now since @Galway gave me some advice Was getting very worried I wouldn't have anything to write in this thread apart from that I just WORK
hardtailstar Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I do a lot of volunteer work with The Scout Association as an Explorer leader and another Youth group. I'm just about to start playing in my third season of Bat and Trap (old Kentish game). Came second last year. Generally play on my Xbox with friends and visit the pub. adding to this, I have just started indoor climbing, getting back into swimming and cycling
Geoff Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Down the local pub (although I go further afield at the weekend, eg Manchester), occasionally mix things up with poker, a pub quiz or girls.
ChickenDhansak Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Spent 18 months as a volunteer at our local Hospice before we moved - loved it Dog walking Photography A bit of gaming Just acquired a Bearded Dragon today so I need to get up to speed with how to care for him properly Other than that, walking, relaxing, checking the inside of my eyelids at various stages on a weekend, going to live gigs whenever possible.
MatthewL Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I'm into my photography, bit of biking now and again, enjoying the local countryside and to top it off time in the fire preservation scene, old appliances and such.
plexer Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Desk draw locks are mostly cheap nasty wafer locks that don't take much work. I quite like popping padlocks lately, it is scary how much trust people put in them. Very true but it's still good fun to pop a desk lock with a couple of paper clips Ben
unixman_again Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 My Mom's Morris Minor was very easy to break into. Open the bonnet, pull down the sound deadening on the firewall, reach through the glove box and use the door handle. There was also a starter button on the solenoid, which bypassed the key, so you could just drive away. My Dad's old Vauxhall had an interesting feature. If two people pushed up and down on diagonal wings, and flexed the body enough, all four doors would pop open. It's still a mystery to me how they stayed shut on the bumpy Aussie roads.

Old minis were dead easy to break into. Just press the sliding window by the catch and open it and then use the inside handle to open the door. Your vauxhall story made me laugh. That wouldn't have happened with the old Vauxhall Viva. It was built like a tank. I remember a group of us at university trying to bump start one with a flat battery. It was so heavy it was impossible to push.

unixman_again Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 The Vauxhall was a mid 40s model - this was in the early 60's when my folks were young, raising us kids and didn't have a lot of money. I wish we still had it; I think it would be worth a fortune now.
jedmondson Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Im working in a pub kitchen as a chef at the moment. I try and make food other then there menu when i am at home. I am a Scout and a Cub leader which seams to take up a big percentage of my time. Camping, planning, running nights etc. Going to try and fix my pushbike brakes and start to cycle to places. Gaming takes up more time.

On my mum's one you can use a flat head screwdriver to open the car and to start the engine, and me and my dad went to the shop with just the screwdriver no keys
ButterflyMoon Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Apart from me Reiki I also go camping at every opportunity in my van. Birdwatching, stargazing and fossil hunting take up a lot of my time too.
RyanMcClean Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Outside of work I present a radio show on the local community radio station, which is great fun! Apart from that I enjoy biking, sea fishing, eating, drinking and sleeping.. Not all at the same time though!!
