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....
Board games, computer games, eating out, movies, National Trust/ Historic Scotland sites, reading.
Mr Energetic, me :)
Airsoft. :)
Board games, computer games, eating out, Astronomy, movies, vising historical sites, reading and flying :)
Baroque music, couchsurfing, cats, shogi, cooking, venery, collecting shin hanga prints and netsuke.
Gardening, walking, climbing.
Walking, including battlefield walking, films, music (mainly the variety found on BBC 6 Music).
With a ten month old baby and a house falling apart I don;t have time for hobbies :D
Gardening, walking, reading. Would like to play some sport but simply lack of time these days :(.
Shooting - Rifle and Clay pigeon
Computer games
Reading
Kayaking
Plus the usual "enforced hobbies" of gardening and DIY
If we count those, JAFO, then DIY, cleaning the house and mowing the lawn/watering/gardening are my number one leisure activities :P

cleaning the house ???
I have a woman for that. :d Hope she doesn't read this or I will be washing up and hoovering for weeks ;)
I'd say the same but I'd end up the same :D
Serve you both right too.

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
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.

As the actress said to the bishop :)
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"
I'd like you to plant it really deep? Presumably in a grey shed.
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.
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.
Aren't Sterling,Webe Drake and Voss a firm of accident claims solicitors?
No, no, no....
You're thinking of Sue, Grabbitt & Runne. ;)
Cheers - Phil
Quotedrinking beer
Drinking beer isn't a hobby, it a way of life, like reading and walking the dog
Film, music, walking, dogs, shooting, reading, football, cricket, internet, horses, writing, photography, playing guitar, poker, drinking, cooking, surfing, RPGs, theatre...myraid other things...
Work - the curse of the hobbied classes :( ;) :)
Too true Nik :(.
Also forgot to mention field archery, that has had to take a back burner for a few years due to sheer lack of time.
Writing and any associated research -especially about the Mongols
Reading -mostly Mil. Hist., Sci-Fi or Horror
Watching football as at 58 years young I am still too old to play (West Ham on TV), Woodstock and Sittingbourne FC live
Walking
Recently taken up a daily exercise regime including the occasional run.
Watching films
Listening to Music -most genres except for C & W, Blues and Trad Jazz. Particulary fond of Classical, Heavy Metal and Mike Oldfield.

True, but it explains why you do not need a hobby. And therefore why you do not understand what they are
Ice hockey goalie and golf.
