ICT_GUY Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 My hobbies are a mixture of uber geek and not so geeky. Sea Fishing, Shooting, Remote control Planes and Helis (with youtube vids), computer games, Dog walking and training, kids. Mainly the planes and learning to avoid the ground with helicopters at the moment. Though the guns come a close second. So what do you guys do to let off steam, and yes certain IT equipment has made a brief last appearance at the business end of a .45 BP pistol before you ask.

elsiegee40 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) My life outside school largely seems to revolve around rugby and hockey matches for my children! However in my 'free time' (?) Family History, Sudoku, Gardening, Cycling and Theatre visits I ran a Guide unit for 11 years, but had to give it up recently as I simply ran out of time for me. Edited January 30, 2008 by elsiegee40

Xbox - PES, Forza, COD4 I was at one point involved in internet radio, and wouldn't mind having another go, but its all a bit too costly.
tech_guy Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 General computer geekery, walking, cycling, geocaching, travelling, horses and horse riding, photography; but as I run my own business from home as well I'm getting to do these less and less nowadays.

torledo Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 studying MCSE Walking Mixed martial arts kite surfing drinking training (alot) karaoke (every sunday with out fail) fixing my mothers dyson badminton (watching my GF boobs bounce up and down hehehe makes me laugh) wow, never thought i'd find a fellow mma fan on here....are you in training for competition or do you just follow the sport ?
rhyds Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Shooting (just an s/h .22 springer air rifle at the mo, but i'm getting a taste for it) Car mechanics Gym Listening to classical music
beeswax Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 photography (got my own lighting studio, done a few weddings - really nerve wracking). Can sympathise with you there. I once took on the overflow of a couple of wedding photographers, and waiting for the lab to return the shots was terrible. I couldn't sleep and eventually gave it up after a few months.
sidewinder Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Football - watching (season ticket holder at Reading) & playing Drinking Music Reading Movies Not very exciting but thats about it!
Andrew_C Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 True Geeks wouldn't have any hobbies that involved a) Other people, or b) leaving the house. Shooting, electronics, wii, wife and daughters,I can understand that you might WANT to do the latter two, but it would involve a long stretch at Her Majesties pleasure in Dartmoor Prison... (Yes, I do realise that you have got a comma in the correct place for your meaning...) I do lighting and sound for an amateur dramatics society, and as we own a 250 seat theatre that needs constant maintenance etc it keeps me busy. I like being outdoors, but haven't partaken for a long time. Reading too!
bizzel Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I'm a bit of an audiophile, so that's where a lot of money goes. Also photography and cycling.
Joedetic Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 In no particular order: Geeking out (Networks and FOSS are important) Cycling (I've just got back and am sat here covered in mud and bleeding since it happens) Music...I play bass, 6-string and i used to play euphonium Prog/Classical Rock Fishing (Course and Fly) Movies Drinking (Real ales )
