I love the outdoors so almost any outdoor task is fine by me, except painting. I hate fkin painting, and I'm crap at it. When I used to be my own mechanic, (back in the days when you could actually work on a car without the aid of a computer) I used to hate lying beneath them with the rain running up my nose, or trapping my fingers while they were frozen.

Talking of painting, my Grandad is/was a gamekeeper and every summer I helped to creosote the massive phesant rearing shed he had (it felt like it at the time, but probably around 30m by 6m), I hated doing that, not too mention my skin didn't take to kindly to flecks of creosote. I was so glad when he bought a paint sprayer of sorts!

Not the poker variety; I mean the little slippery - and oftern very colourful - sort that can buy from your local aquarium shop. It can be a most enjoyable hobby. (says the bloke with 6 fish tanks in his house, and a pond!)

Regarding DIY etc, I live in rented accomodation so that's a nono. One thing that I think may be fun is bowls. Although it may be abit perculular for such a young lad to be playing amongst OAP's I do think it would be a rather satisfying sport to try and work out. Thoughts?
Title: Re: New hobby pls Post by: phatomch on September 08, 2009, 01:57:26 PM lawn bowls, i started this year to spend some time with my grandad and i love it now its similar to golf in the need to be constant and precise but you can drink more and some of the clubs are set in lovely places
Title: Re: New hobby pls Post by: EvilPie on September 08, 2009, 02:03:14 PM I often sit and watch the old fella's and ladies bowling when I'm out with the dog.
The green near me is really nice and I could sit there for hours just watching them play. It very relaxing. Doesn't look an easy game though by any means and I'm sure it's very satisfying when you finally get it right. Don't see many under 60's there though tbh. Just me and Ronnie in the spectator stand.

I always wanted to get good at snooker was decent at pool a while ago(awaits pisstake from rooks,sigh) but never got much good at snooker despite playing quite a bit, so frustrating but enjoyed trying.
