You should go for it, Tai-chi is brilliant fun and really helps balance you. I used to do it when I was doing kick boxing and karate a couple of years ago.

yeah, i used to box and got into karate for a while, wado-ryu...im fairly chimp like for balance already...that was the other thought, monkey style kung fu...but apparently thats a bu**er on the legs...

ooh just remembered - i used to do archery too...won a couple of local bronze medals for that...

Are we all fighters as well as cooks and wine/beer buffs?

I used to practice Wing Chun and Aikido.

yeah, we serenade someone with a guitar, cook them a nice meal, get them drunk, show them some magic, then kill them...typical night out in essex if you ask me...

Play Guitar, CounterStrike, Guild Wars and Call of Duty quite a bit. I also enjoy procrastinating (which may, or may not, be spelt correctly. I'll look it up later).

Guitar here too...

Wow we have a lot of guitarists here! Cool...

Actually other hobbies include car racing/modification (now if you thought CUPS in terms of MAGIC was bad...................................... ) and until a few years ago, yo-yo!

I would love to play the guitar and ive tried but im pretty tone deaf so i wasnt very good at it and had to give up .

- I used to play the bass in a band. But we didn't quite make it (a bit of interest from one of the big labels and a few little ones, but it seemed like we needed to be playing in london regulary to get anywhere, which we couldn't do).

- Reading with a brew is my main thing. I have quite eclectic tastes with books. I'm reading Eragon at the moment, and it is suprisingly good (I say suprosingly , as I didn't expect to get into it).

- Walking my dogs (two schnauzer pups)

- Music (my dad is a record collector with literally thousands, and have been taken to concerts and festivals since I was very young, so it was inevitable)

I'm waiting for the PS3 to come out as far as games are concerned (I have a PS2 at moment). Is the Wii any good seige? Is it as good as it looks? My fiance is a football manager widow too, though I only get to play on it during the hols.

I used to be a reasonably good guitarist/bassist too, wonder if i could still play something. i could easily get through a few greenday songs i imagine (if i can remember 3 chords).

Musical inclinations? Well, when I was very small I used to play on the linoleum and my idea of strenuous exercise is jumping to conclusions and running up credit card bills but, apart from all that, I guess I'm in to cooking, DIY but only when I feel like doing it, drinking decent (and occasionally less decent) wines, travelling (which I will doing a lot of this year!) and searching in vain for more than one decent TV programme each evening.

jazz trombone and sailing.

Video production, punk rock, punk video production, kickboxing, movies, running, married life, and being a full-time dad.

My Love of life includes

1: Video Games 1976 to 2007
Including all Arcade, computer and console.
My collection of real boxed games are in the 100’s and of electronic media versions in the 10’s of thousands.

2: MMA ( Mixed Martial Arts )
which the best display of can be found via the UFC ( Ultimate Fighting Championship )

But the obvious one is my wife and children which I spend all my time with.

Quite a few musicians here! I dont actually play an instrument, im more of a 'table drummer'. It annoys everybody and it hurts my fingers but i enjoy myself. Might even get a real drumkit one day!

I enjoy the occassional trip to the casino. I prefer to play Blackjack but tend to get sucked into the slot machines to often! Especially since i have an unbelieveable ability to win a fair bit everytime i go on them! Bring on Manchester Super-casino!

I also like to go out drinking of course!

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!
