Had an opportunity to drag some figures out today but because its so gloriously sunny I went and played golf instead.

Got me thinking. What hobbies do people have other than Wargaming?

My list is mainly sporting - Cricket, Golf, Volleyball, Smashing reps out at the gym and eating....
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

If we count those, JAFO, then DIY, cleaning the house and mowing the lawn/watering/gardening are my number one leisure activities :P

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
