I like watching Rugby (Union) and Medieval re-enactment as I'm not sure boardgames and the kind of computer games I like don't count as bunging dice around.

They are the things we "normal" folk  do in our spare time,  that you have spent most of your working life getting paid to do. ie. Making wargames models, painting models, photographing models and even playing with wargames models.  ;D ;D Sorry Phil, you walked right into that one

Ah....yeah......But it's not a hobby if you get PAID to do it ! ;)

As the actress said to the bishop :)
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

Two bishops in a bar, one looks at the other and says "Tou know, I've never met an actress?"
The other replies "Me neither."

Keeping the spare tyre down in the gym, reading, photography, learning French.

Oh, and Beryl Reid's famous catch-phrase was "as the art mistress said to the gardener"

Walking, climbing, gardening (digging and weeding where I'm told and cutting miles of hedges) and a bit of sea kayaking but currently having trouble fitting the last one in.

Steeleye

Hmmm hobbies.

Writing Fanfic, designing boardgames, drinking beer, listening to music/radio (both of which I can do while I'm doing anything other than writing), reading the Pendraken forums, reading things like books by Stirling, Weber, Drake and Stoss. Looking things up on the internet, watching movies/TV on DVD, walking and really meaning to go to museums and other places of interest but not quite managing it because of all the other stuff I'm doing.

True, but it explains why you do not need a hobby.  And therefore why you do not  understand what they are
