My main hobby, other than magic, is Basketball. I've been playing since i was 4 and now play for a team in the West Midlands league! Which reminds me, im supposed to be going training in 28 minutes!

I used to play basketball before my ankles gave in. I played for staffordshire for a while, and my school teams were one of the highest ranked in the country. Unfortunately my I had to stop playing when I was 19 because of injury. When I played in the national comps for schools, we always came up against a brummy school in the latter rounds. I've lost touch with whats going on in the sport now. If I watched it now, I would still be expecting to see michael jordan and magic johnson to be doing their thing. Oh them were the days!

I love watching snooker on telly. Actually, thinking about it, it's one of the very few things that can get me to actually sit there and concentrate on one thing for any length of time.

Who do you fancy for the World championship? For me it's either Ronnie or Ding.

Martial arts

Scuba Diving

Weight lifting

Reading

Movies/DVDS

Keeping exotic animals

For me my main other hobby is triathlon.

I do enjoy cooking too but wouldn't really class it as a hobby.

Lozey, what animals do you keep? I've got a Bearded Dragon and am looking at getting some Xenopus Toads.

Basketball

Movies

I did a tandem skydive about a year ago so i might take that up

UFC- Watching it not doing it, well for now any way

Spending time with my partner and the kids

And i used to do alot of drumming

Loads of hobbies!

- sailing
- skiing
- travelling (can this qualify as a hobby? I suppose most people love travelling)
- trekking
- cooking
- tasting of wine and other noble spirits like cognac, whisky, calvados...
- restaurant hopping
- watching Barça (doubtful this qualifies as a hobby, but anyway... any Liverpool supporter here?)
- my weekly Guinness at the Michael Collins pub here in Barcelona. Great place! Love that beer!
- rugby (don't understand 100% of the game, but I like it)

cheers!

Really, what do you sail?

I used to sail, started out i optimists when I was little, then toppers and finally got an old 420 with a friend. Used to do quite a few regattas until getting temped across to the dark side of windsurfing.

Well... I see you do/did more regattas and stuff. I am doing more leisure sailing, although if I got an invitiation to sail in a regatta, I would go. I love sailing klippers, goletas (or Turkish schooners). But normally, when I sail in the weekends it is a Bavaria 44 (I think). Unfortunately it is not mine though.

You're not going to America's Cup in Valencia, are you?

Cheers! I will. Unfortunately it is a minority sport in Spain, but I can watch some when I go to the Michael Collins pub. I once lived in the same apartment as a student with 3 French guys. They were heavily into rugby, and even played almost every day. They did a lot of singning anyway lol! But it wasn't until I watched a sixnations (or was it five nations?) that I saw how a noble game it is.

It used to be the 5 nations about 7 years ago before Italy joined making it the 6 nations. In case you didn't know its on at the minute.

Then it definitely was 5 nations. We're talking 10-ish years ago.

What do you mean it's on at the minute?

cheers!

As in the tournament is being played at present (not right this minute).

This is a weekend of but the next games are next week (10th March).
