right folks - I am after trying my hand at something new for the new year and would like your ideas -
I already go to the footy so dont suggest that - and besides thats more a way of life !!
so get you thinking hats on and come up with ideas please - genuinely serious here - and nothing too expensive - the wife already has an expnesive hobby - she has her own horse and go's riding (enough said)

cheers

Hill walking not expensive after initial cost healthy and with a camera something that you can keep memories on picture of.

Hi - how about bread-making I have tried it yes and I got a lot of satisfaction out of it, especially from making tomato and cheese and onion bread.

Also a really good hobby is home brew making. There are many, many different brews and wines and its taste and affects twenty times better than commercial beer. Not to mention its a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run.

Stock car racing. Nothing beats the roar of the engine & the smell of the fuel. You can also make some good mates as they are a friendly bunch. You can go to as many/few meetings as you like.

You could try fencing - with epees and not wooden posts. Great exercise!

A Glaswegian with a weapon is not very healthy.

Good point - why not try crochet?

SPUGGIE J · 04-12-2005, 19:54

Something even safer would be bingo.

Why not take up golf, then you to could be away from home for hours an hours

Or try some nice relaxing course fishing.

Handy for some spear fishing in the Carribean Sea.

scuba diving !! - how expensive is that to do ??
and can anyone tell me more about it ?

spuggie - started fly fishing at 14 and have been round most of the fresh water rivrs and lochs in scotland mate - wouldnt do course fishing as I would rather eat what I catch ( trout & salmon) - perch, tench & pike dont float my boat !!

golf is a waste of a good walk !

and cheers spuggie for giving us 'weegies a bad name !' - its bad enough thanks !!

and gayle - when you say crochet - do you mean sewing/knitting or croquet ? - the lawn game ?? - either way no chance ! - and nice pic - nothing like a woman in a uniform !!!!
