      I’m just wondering what other interests or hobbies you guys enjoy doing or would like to get into doing. I enjoy playing console/computer games and watching anime (if you could call those things hobbies maybe interests) oh well some things that i am interested in doing are go kart riding or buying a dune buggy, i’ve always been fascinated by those, paintball and airsoft except bb guns arent legal in Australia, oh well. What about you guys.

      I also enjoy playing computer games, and I am building a model train set. Its going to be big, theres a whole room in my house dedicated to it, but its very costly so its just travelling slow at the moment.

      I have to assume that I’m the old fart here at
      33. I never grew up, I just finished school, got a job and thus more money to buy more cool shit.
      He who dies with the most toys wins 🙂
      I work in the Eletronics/Satellite Comms industry.
      It tends to reflect in hobbies, like electronics and Ham Radio. Sports have to involve huge amounts of adrenalin else I find them boring.
      Hang Gliding, Skiing, Diving, Hunting etc etc.
      If you have to chase a ball, it’s not sport, it’s a dog’s game. 🙂

      The Laws vary from state to state, you may find BB guns are legal in other states. Generally any gun isn’t a toy, even BB guns. Join a gun club and
      learn how to handle them properly. If you’re over
      18, you can apply for a licence and have them legally.

      Hehehe …. I like you guys, you remind me of what it was to be young and stupid. Wish I was 16 again with what I know now. 🙂
      Women are social creatures, they need attention,
      deprive them of that and they come crawling.
      Sad thing is that teenage male’s basic thoughts are easily overidden with the sheer amount of hormones their bodies produce.
      Chicks are hard wired into your brains you poor fools, the desire for machinary and technology is acquired !
      It is an artform ! 🙂

      girls are nice to talk to….
      women are good to look at…
      but ho’s are where the fun starts, like r/c easy to turn on, play with and leave behind when more important stuff comes your way..

      alchaholic beverages are a part of my weekly schedule: coopers vintage, fine reds, JD , and absynth if i feel really inspired.

      all types of crystals and gemstones. (the ultimate investment potential as they are slowly all becoming scarcer in the world.and some of them are totally awesome to look at.)

      ps2: wipeout fusion IS the fastest racer on the planet, and requires way more focus than many can muster. the armoured core series and timesplitters2.

      music: paul macs old outfit “itchy & scratchy”, pantera, extreme black metal. my mates band irrelavent just to name a few..

      and of course art. i love to paint canvas,models, citadel minatures and paper…

      Girls are nice to talk to ? Enjoy it while it you’re hormones last. 10 years from now, you’ll wish they’d shut up ! 🙂
      Women are nice to look at. Ah, well ya never lose
      that one. Unfortunately … as you get older…
      they definately don’t want to look at us.
      Problem is, you get older, the women you want to look at don’t. Oh, it’s a cruel world !!
      They’re a bit like fire … look nice, but can burn you if you don’t handle it right.
      Try telling a woman that you have to put more
      than petrol into a car. Water and oil etc.
      Errrrrrrrrr.

      not the only old fella, Trash. Refusal to grow up here, too. Hooked on console gaming (bring on FFXI!!!!!), into motor sports (prefer V8s), avid blader once (and soon once again!!).
      You guys are all fem obsessed, most of you have’nt been burned badly enough, I guess…;-) “damaged goods”
      z-beam – yes, it is quick, but i still think Wipeout2097 had the best sense of (stonach churning) speed, especially in the Phirana at Phantom speed. And TIMESPLITTERS 2 rocks HARD!!! 4 way deathmatch, anyone??
      I must be the only person here that enjoys, nay LOVES his work. Gotta say, signage be lots of fun. Allows me to make tracks etc. here.

      Do a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.
      Well, I like my job, and I do stuff I like,
      they pay me to travel overseas. (I’m currently in East Timor working with the army) So I guess I can’t complain too much 🙂 Get to play with satellites and electronics, and occasionally some
      of the army’s bigger toys.

      dgs73, you must be a child of the 90’s ? Blades ?
      Skates are much more funky !!!
      I saw a mini-Z a few weeks ago, special edition
      “Mad Max Interceptor” … the temptation was great but I couldn’t justify $250 for it.

      The 70’s were cool ! no internet, CD players, no
      VCR’s, no colour TV and people were affraid microwave ovens posed a radiation risk. Be nice to visit the 70’s again, but you wouldn’t want to live there ! 🙂

      I heard on the radio the other day DJ’s paying $20 for vinyl records to put on their turntables.
      … if you think a turntable is a musical instrument, you deserve to pay $20 for vinyl !
      Even drummers are shunning DJ’s as tallentless loosers !

      Born in ’73, got my first blades in 1987, a while before they were big here… someone who saw em not long after i got them thought they were a form of grass skis… you mean roller skates?? Got a pair of Jetboots w/ Zenith wheels floating around somewhere… and about 15 sets of broken jump plates… Mad speedskates, but old as now…

      hahah, I honestly didn’t think many people would remember the first rollerblades. I remember seeing them in Carlingford rink back in 86.
      They were way to weird for me back then. These days bladers wipe roller skater’s arses all over the floor. (young punks !). I’ve broken too many bones already, blades are just another excuse for me to break more. 🙂

      I play drums in a few bands, have about $16k worth of drums, which I’ll never earn back through the music industry in Hobart, and to be honest, I’m not some ledgend player, I just spend money on my passions.

      I do photography. Mostly B+W arty stuff, but have shot a few weddings for friends, family shots, etc. I come from a long line of photographers.

      I work with computers, which means once I’m out of the office I don’t want to know if your mouse is frozen, you can’t get the internet, or your microsoft is broken, so now I tell people I meet I’m a drummer/photographer.

      I haven’t ridden my Mountain Bike for a while, but hopefully will get in some downhill runs with summer comming up.

      Yeah… that’ll do.

      I don’t work for the army, just with them. but occasionally they let me play with their toys.
      They only have APC’s on the ground here and occasionally I might get a ride in a blackhawk.
      Used to fly around in a Mil-26 and Mil-8 a lot.
      (russian helicopters). weapons wise it’s a bit boring, just styer’s and 9mm brownings.
      One rare occasions an MP6 or M60 turn up.

      Beaches are ok, the fishing is good (in the wet season) the diving is great, other than that the place sucks. But I get paid for being here, so I can’t complain too much 🙂
