recommend me a new hobby for 2006
 
right folks - I am after trying my hand at something new for the new year and would like your ideas -
I already go to the footy so dont suggest that - and besides thats more a way of life !!
so get you thinking hats on and come up with ideas please - genuinely serious here - and nothing too expensive - the wife already has an expnesive hobby - she has her own horse and go's riding (enough said)

cheers

Hill walking not expensive after initial cost healthy and with a camera something that you can keep memories on picture of.

Hi - how about bread-making I have tried it yes and I got a lot of satisfaction out of it, especially from making tomato and cheese and onion bread. :)
Also a really good hobby is home brew making. There are many, many different brews and wines and its taste and affects twenty times better than commercial beer. Not to mention its a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run. :D

Stock car racing. Nothing beats the roar of the engine & the smell of the fuel. You can also make some good mates as they are a friendly bunch. You can go to as many/few meetings as you like.

You could try fencing - with epees and not wooden posts. Great exercise!

Good point - why not try crochet?

Why not take up golf, then you to could be away from home for hours an hours :)

SPUGGIE J 04-12-2005 19:42

Re: recommend me a new hobby for 2006
 
Or try some nice relaxing course fishing.

Re: recommend me a new hobby for 2006

spuggie - started fly fishing at 14 and have been round most of the fresh water rivrs and lochs in scotland mate - wouldnt do course fishing as I would rather eat what I catch ( trout & salmon) - perch, tench & pike dont float my boat !!

golf is a waste of a good walk !

and cheers spuggie for giving us 'weegies a bad name !' - its bad enough thanks !!

and gayle - when you say crochet - do you mean sewing/knitting or croquet ? - the lawn game ?? - either way no chance ! - and nice pic - nothing like a woman in a uniform !!!!

geoff70 04-12-2005 20:14

Agree with the fly fishing as I fly fish myself but dont like salmon. My dad is a "weegie" from the gorbals and it was meant in jest. Work with a lot of Glasgow guys and visit regular and find like everywere else a minority are the cause of the labeling.

how about doing voluntary work - you would be doing some good then helping people out and it gives you an interest and you meet different people. I do voluntary work our local credit union and school.

Re: recommend me a new hobby for 2006
 
I actually live in accy so if anyone knows of anywhere that does scuba diving then pm me !

and why does everyone know the gorbals ???
& spuggie - I knew it was in jest ! I am from the very dodgy east end of glasgow ! - the bit you dont want to go to

Frottage.

All you need are wax crayons and some paper.

You could have fun in grave yards and churches all over the country.

My hobbies are Family History and Photography. I'm really interested in searching out those lost folk and it does tend to take up a lot of spare time. I also transcribe for FreeBMD.

I don't have access to a dark room now but developing photos was such a great thing for me. Especially black and white.

I now have a blog, which makes me use the camera more, even though it's a digital...............still not sure that I approve of those!

Have fun with which ever idea takes your fancy!

I agree with you Junetta, family tree stuff can become addictive. I,ve been at it for about 8 years and still get a kick from finding a new "skeleton".

Dodgiest bit health wise I can think of is Shettleston and that is errrrr "unique" to say the least. Gorbals aint that bad apart from the Mosque.

I've sent you a link for the scuba club in Blackburn. My dad did his PADI certificate there..:D

Gayle 05-12-2005 11:14

Re: recommend me a new hobby for 2006
 
Yes I meant crochet (knitting) it was only a joke because Spuggie said we shouldn't give someone from Glasgow a weapon when I'd first suggested fencing.

They do Scuba diving at Mercer Hall in Gt Harwood.

glasgow guy 05-12-2005 17:53

Re: recommend me a new hobby for 2006
 
got your pm lettie - thanks

spuggie - I went to secondary school in shettleston !!! but I come from the dodgy areas that are barlanark/easterhouse - grew up there & served my teenage years learning the streets !!
my folks all live in a nice part of east kilbride where I later moved onto & now I am here in accy !
