When you're not on the internet looking at sick fits and epic curations, what else do you do in your spare time?

I'll start;
I do a bit of indoor climbing (bouldering) and play piano.

Good way to weed out a few more nan-kids too.

Go!

6 a side in a league on Mondays, footy training 2 nights a week and play Saturday afternoons & Sunday mornings. Also play football manager on PC & a bit of fifa. Used to read a lot but don't seem to have time anymore.

Have thought about doing something more constructive with my spare time like an open university course but it wouldn't make any difference to my career and I'm a lazy bastard so would inevitably end up not bothering.

I paint (oils) and have been doing an evening class in ceramics for a couple of years now, which I really enjoy, but can only do it at college as I don't have the sapce/ equipment/ facilities at home. I would love to set up a small pottery studio at home/ nearby with a kiln and wheel, but it's not likely to ever happen due to lack of space and cost.

Good thread.

I play the guitar (just started a new band, been in a few before) and skate, although since my mate broke his arm back in March I've only skated 3 or 4 times since mainly down to being busy and a lack of motivation, so as a result I've started running a bit (who doesn't in London). Nothing wrong with walks with the Mrs spitfire, used to go on them all the time back home and then go for a good pub lunch.

Also gigs, vinyl, producing music, cooking, bit of photography.

What keyboard/piano do you have Jordan? This is my pride and joy...a 1968 Gibson ES335.

It's ever since I moved to London, back home I'd skate 3 or 4 times a week because the park was a 5 minute drive away, whereas up here you kind of have to set a day aside and travel on the tube to a park. I think more than anything I just need to get back in to the routine of it because I do miss it. Another excuse is I'm at a point in my life where I can't be injuring myself and I'd hate myself if I ever dd anything to my hands that prevented me from playing the guitar.

Playing football, watching football (season ticket at Leicester), running and playing guitar in a covers band.

Favourite past time is the 2 hours on a saturday and sunday when me and the dog go for a long walk in the countryside - good for the body and mind!

Nice thread, will be good for Secret Santa as well.

Most of my spare time seems to be taken up by the following things;

MMA & Freestyle Wrestling Training: 3-4 times a week (5 if I can get up early enough on Saturday morning)
Music Production
DIY stuff at home
Furniture Design and Making: Did a 12 week intro course a while back and am doing an intermediate course in January. I'm in the midst if building a ply edge turntable stand and will up pictures once it's done. This is a shockingly expensive hobby. Literally just dropped £150 on clamps and it's a drop in the ocean. A bandsaw is the next tool on the list...Looking to develop this into a business as well.
General foodie stuff; checking our markets, restaurants and street food
Photography

I play bass in a rawk band (http://voodoopoets.com/)
I am quite good at and play way too much COD.
I run my own business which takes all the non bass/COD time.
