OK OK, after the beer question and the breakfast question, there is one thing that I am really intrested in: What hobbies do CPians have (exept beeing a CPian of course ;) ...) ??? My main hobby is beeing a firefighter, and when I look at the time I spend on our station, it's more than a hobby.... Another thing is making videos (producing semi pro documentation like my wedding.. :rolleyes: ) So, what do you do in your spare-time?

Really, a firefighter? My father used to be the chief at a volunteer fire station and from what I can remember, it's a pretty cool job. Things I do in my spare time: When I'm by myself: 1. Surf the net 2. Play video games 3. Watch television or videos 4. Running 5. Weight lifting 6. Programming (of course:)) 7. Sleep!!! When I'm hanging out: 1. All but 1, 6, and 7 above 2. Golf and other sports 3. Movie theatre 4. Grotto (college bar) 5. Barbeque 6. Road trips Hmm, my post is getting a little long so I guess I'll stop here.:) Brad Jennings "You're mom is nice.

The breakdown in communications between the generations happen when you forget why you hated what your parents said as a child, or, worse, you remember and decide it needs saying anyway. Even if you just know that your children won't learn other than by experience, you just can't resist telling them... Debbie

That's correct, but do you really think I waste a single second of my life? Half the time I post on CP I'm joking. OK, so you will say you can't know one way or the other when I'm joking and when I'm not. To that I say DUH! ;P I think you need to get a little less serious in life. :)

But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine.

:beer: + :java: = NULL :=> X|Afraid my hobby list is a bit pathetic :( Spent quite a while moving around, so used to spend most of my 'social' life using chat rooms, but I visit the real world a bit now. Hobbies at the moment: Music - mostly rock/metal, bit of goth and recently got "War of the Worlds" by Jeff Wayne after it was mentioned on CP :cool: Going out - met a few people near me throuh the chat rooms, and there is a cool little pub in Crewe where you get a real mix of people who just get on with each other, and we end up talking about everything under the sun. Nominally a gay pub, some bouncers go there for a quiet drink and other people because its their local. Good mix of people, and you often end up chatting to whoever is sitting next to you :cool: Gym - not a hobby, but I go three times a week now and feeling a lot better for it. Clubbing - soon, as the gym is paying off. Be making a complete fool of myself on the dancefloor soon :rolleyes: Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D
