Dosent your girlfriend fit into your life somewhere? :D
Oops I almost forgot :D In fact I realised after I wrote that, that I forgot all about that :embarass: It's not really a hobby I guess, so there's my excuse :p We go a lot of places together, but most of the time it's just bumming around either outside or at home. We watch movies, go shopping, eat (a lot) and of course play Pro Evolution 3 when she comes over :thumb:

:embarass: Nah, she only started about a week ago, we saw a gamepad at 1/2 price for end of financial year sales :greedy: and I decided to get her into the game :D

We always play on the same team, and I've taught her to score from my assists and even put in a few crosses herself sometimes. It's damn cute because she still does the childish "If I physically move the controller in that direction the player will run faster" thing :LOL:

I've always done that, it's very addictive.
Haha baby :D I stopped doing that after I realised it actually impedes my ability to play Super Mario ;) It's much funnier watching kids play platform games, because they move the controller in time with the character's jump :)

Course you don't have that problem with pc games. :D
Ahh but we're playing on USB Playstation 2-esque controllers, complete with dual analog sticks :thumb:

Back to describing hobbies.......

Mine are mostly to do with horses - I ride and am a national show jumping judge. I just returned from Ireland where I spent a week riding (cross country and jumping.) At home I ride twice a week and in summer take a course or two. During summer there are also competitions almost every week-end (dressage, cross country, show jumping.)

I also travel a bit - 2003 went to see Juve-Inter in Turin; Easter 2002 in Turin Juve-Lazio and autumn in Milan Juve-Inter :D And bought a few football jerseys there :cheesy:

Like to watch football in TV and live - Finland-Italy was great, I sat in the front row :eek: :eek:

Read a lot of thick books in English (Dorothy L. Sayers is great fun; Elisabeth George; P. G. Wodehouse....)

Watch TV - ER, C.S.I., SerieA on Canal+ etc etc

Hobbies past-times? The only thing I do that really qualifies is exercise. I go to the gym usually every morning. Not weight stuff though just fitness. I used to do alot of pushups also but my arms started to become more toned than I wanted so I had to quit :down: :groan:

Apart from that I just do destructive things like binge eating and binge drinking. I drink way to much way to often.
I run too. I run 4.5 miles HIIT every day, and I'm planning to increase it to 6 miles in a week or two.

I'm not a big fan of exercise. I love sports, but I don't really fancy the idea of running, and ending up in the same place only tired :stress: or worse still, running on the spot against a machine that's clearly trying to make you piss off

well, excercise is good. i find some sort of pleasure after a nice workout and going and laying down in a "artificial" sauna.

Are you paraphrasing the Seinfeld horses bit?

Whoa, maybe it's so ingrained in me that it's just become part of my mindset :confused:

I honestly do feel that way though :)
