O/T What keeps you occupied??

I live quite the busy life, only come on here whilst having a ****e. It's nice.

 

I get to work around 6.15 a.m., get home around 6-7 p.m. Monday to Saturday but manage to sneak off for home games and some away games. Sunday games are perfect for me. Not much time for anything else, Sunday usually means falling asleep in front of Sky Sports.

 

I drink a lot of coffee.

The rest is a bit of a blur.

 

Guitar, gardening, grandkids, 3 Gees, not necessarily in that order.

 

I go to college, so that keeps me occupied during weekdays. I also play Xbox, read books and I'm trying to learn Icelandic.

 

I've just downloaded lesson one.

I play guitar,but not as well as i'd like, which is my own fault,as iv'e just never practiced enough,sometimes going months without touching it. I could slap myself for that. Now i think about it,i'd say my acoustic was my prized possession.

There's the allotment,to which i really don't give enough time to (there's a pattern emerging here).

Oh and i have a high end hi fi, and prefer to play vinyl. After all the technology over the years, you still can't beat the sound of vinyl.

 

When Im not training for my next iron-man event, or making stuff up on-line, I can be found playing WOW, or doing stuff with my fishys (behave, I mean like water testing, cleaning, or just staring at them), watching box sets with the missus, winding my granddaughter up, annoying my kids by being so frikken cool, or chatting to my dad about the mighty Tigers.

Dog walking, visiting aquatic shops with marine sections, travelling frigging miles to see my team also feature quite heavily.

Now you'll have to excuse me, I have a 50km bike ride to do.

 

Got you!

 

I walk my dog to clear my head after work, usually a couple of hours per night and the 3-4 at the weekend. I dig holes for MrsFT to plant stuff in that dies. There's a couple of local pub quizzes I go to each week. The Beast from The Chase does one of them when he's in the UK, clever bastard wins every time. I volunteer for a children's charity in Barnsley one night a week and go to a book club every month.

 

Just had a look at your website, the analysis of Allam's press conference is very good

 

Thank you

 

I'd love the (imminent) Beatles in Mono.

 

In the main, gardening, brewing beer, making wine, walking the dog, helping the Mrs build up a new venture & reading. I have a couple of guitars & play them very poorly, the plan was to have some lessons this summer but it went tits up. Listening to music & expanding my tastes.

Have, in the past, painted (acrylics) but not for a while, played golf but I'm not allowed to anymore & played squash, but I'm not to allowed anymore, so I'm trying to think of summat else to do exercise wise.

Back into work next week so that'll take up a bit of time

 

I drink a lot of Single Malts and Real Ales! Quite enjoying gardening these days. I'm also going to fly hawks and eagles in a few weeks.

I play chess online but also have a behemoth of a gaming PC that a year or two ago was the top-benchmarked single GPU PC in Britain. Does this win me the top geek award?

 

Good luck, Sir Ben.

 

Working, biking, running, cat, writing, football, learning, being generally fabulous. Not all in that order.

 

I restore retro mountain bikes, I'm on my second bike now, love doing it!

 

I've still got a Raleigh Massif that my kids wont be seen with me when i ride it. Is it worth owt?
