My time seems to be taken up with my rescue greyhounds and trying to get more re homed and raising money for the charities that rescue them.

Also trying not to be a completely useless taker of pictures, I'm not good enough to call it photography!

Oh and the search for decent beer takes up a little time. :beer:

I know how you feel, I have put a lot of weight on in the last year, training on and off, Im up to 11 stone 3 now I lost 6 pounds from the last time I weight myself, I have had sooooo much on the last year, finnishing last house ready for sale, selling and then moving and all the great stuff that comes with it.

For the BRB if your local you should go to Cold blooded paul will do you a great deal, I dont know where you are I can ask him how much when I go for some lizard food.

Never been one for football, i think it stems from my dad, he was / is super man united fan, if they loose its best to leave the house, sitting in my house when they are on is like putting your head in a chavs's boot with his loudest CD on, I've seen my dad kick and spit at the TV lots of times, he goes APE, one time he threw a laptop out the window

I think that put me off football for a young age, watching bikes with him was a much more enjoyable experience so I guess I just latched onto that

Love the heli's and planes just the cost that's held me back, nearly won a nitro heli a few month back on ebay

mates dad used to build planes and boats from drawing's and fly them (the planes not the boat tho that would be mad)

Squash, and any form of engine-powered racing- bikes, cars, whatever.
Only watching the racing, though- I'm not made of money!

A couple of festivals a year, and some camping with mates, (big camping, huge tent, marquee, oil drum barbie and full mobile disco- we need our own field....
