Hobbies, Do you have any?

Just wondered what others do with their spare time?

I have quite a few hobbies other then Politics and bashing the hated EU.
My big passion is Classic cars I am lucky enough over the years to have collected a few and have much enjoyment from it by attending shows and meeting friends,when not doing this cycleing or going to the gym I enjoy reading about true crime.
Thats me does anyone else have any interests?

I love classic Bikes, or any bikes really, prefer bikes out of the ordinary, I Have a Moto Guzzi V11-1100cc of great fun, Also follow Nottingham Forest, have done since the late 60s! Guess I like being in a minority in my hobbies....

I have several friends into Classic Bikes one pal restored a 1958 BMW with 8,000 miles and 1 owner to concourse.
Must admit I dont go for football but I have about 1500 di cast 1/43 scale models as well.
My classics are 1978 Porsche 911 sc Targa 3 litre,1958 Singer Gazelle,1962 Hillman Minx,1967 Pover p6,1973 Humber Sceptre and a 1997 west mercia police vauxhall astra beat car fully working apart from radio.

Running....travel....almost all sports.....my 59 Chevy....and trying to get the time and money to visit the UK again.

That Chevy looks just the biz brilliant.

well my hobby is kickboxing. started about a year ago and it is really good fun and we have a good group of people too

Hi Kate

That sounds fun but I think my twice a week at the gym and the odd walk and cycle ride will suffice,think I need a sit down thinking about the kick boxing lol

Reading and writing are my two main hobbies. Plus I like walking. I try to do about 9 to 10 miles a day.

I enjoy reading and writing also,just read an interesting book about Major Rouse Armstrong,the only Solicitor to ever be hung for murder after poisoning his wife with arsenic in Hay on Wye he was executed in Gloucester prison in 1923.

Making sure that correct catergories go in appropriate topics i.e. This should be posted in General Chat

Yes, it should. At least this thread hasn't been hijacked such as some of the others....

Let me tell you what I think (counterfeit watches) is an interesting story. This will go on for the next several (haggis eaters.com) paragraphs and really not make much sense.

Hi,I was born and bred in Hay he and my grandfather were in the same "lodge" there is much more behind the story and it is only recently started to cpme out. I lived opposite "The Moor" the house he lost soo much money on,burnt down soon after!

I have a rescued English Bull Terrier and a Harley ,a rare one...in that its fast! Both a bit of a handfull and obstinate beasts! I also have started writing the odd article....Used to do motorcycle drag racing ,cheap and fun! Too old now,not got the reactions needed .

Really? More to the story? Please tell us more! If are able to that is.

Very interesting Armstrong was a facinating case,I have been to Hay quite a lot recently have seen Armstrongs office and that of his rival that he tried to poison,have looked at the old court house where he inhabited no 1 cell when first arrested,visited Mayfield his home at Cussop and church cottage where the exhumed body of Katherine his wife had an autopsy and have had her unmarked grave shown to me at Cussop church where Armstrong was a Church warden.
A fortnight ago Martin Beales a Solicitor who lived in Mayfield and ironically also practiced from Armstrongs old office (even had his old desk) sadly died of cancer Beales had written a book claiming Armstrongs inocence I am about to read it.
Hay on wye still talkes about Armstrong and many locals knew people who knew Armstrong.
I do some volentary work for the Ambulance service recently I met a charming old lady who showed me actual documents written by him to her father in law totally facinating another 103 year old actually knew him.
I love Hay on Wye I live in Llandrindod Wells although a native of Shrewsbury and lived many years in Telford but for some reason I keep going back to Hay and Cussop to find out more about these events that happened all those years ago.
