I don't really want to take time away from baiting, but I was just curious to see what kind people take up the cause and fight against the scum of the earth.

What type of day job do you have?
What are your hobbies outside of baiting?
(nobody here needs the reminder to keep it super vague)

I am a graphic designer with quite a bit of downtime at the office (which is OK since I get paid hourly and not by the job). My hobbies include, but are not limited to, Airsoft, Camping, Hiking, Skiing, reading, lying to strangers on the street for no good (or bad, for that matter) reason, maneuvering against the missus for better bed position, making mean/scary/funny faces at small children, commenting loudly on stranger's purchases in the supermarket ("Oooh, those Preparation H Wipes really work so well!"), looking as suspicious as possible when the police are nearby, and last, but most importantly, generally enjoying life!

Real life, I'm in a UK uniformed service.

As for hobbies, I like cooking, if you can call that a hobby. I also play guitar and Harmonica (I used to be in a band a few years back too), but only to pass the time in recent years.
I read a lot, mainly factual stuff, travel writing, history (especially London / local history) and biography. I also play cricket for my organisation in the summer, and golf in the winter.
I also love to walk / hike, mainly on routes where there are nice country pubs every 5 miles or so. I've been known to swim and do the gym thing when my beer belly gets a little too rounded.

In any other spare time I continue to bait whilst simultaneously quenching my prodigious thirst for ale.

By day I'm a relay operator, which means I deal with lads all day...but without being able to do too much about it.

By night I'm married, so you know what that means I'm doing all night long....

Yea

Watching TV and sleeping....

I'm a bit of a geek too, I play alot of computer games...and spend far too much time using Stumble Upon to find goat porn.....or as I like to call it "educational photography"

I teach apprentices, I'm past the age where I want to be the one hanging out over 150 metres of free space welding a beam in place

I read a shite load, from Pratchett, Rankin, Adams, Bain, Bill Bryson, Sagan, Vonnegut, heinlen, factual, fiction, science,

I've worked with 4th level entry people, long term unemployed, prison parolees, low literacy quals in work training prgrammes

Had my house firebombed, my vehicles trashed and ruined

I have a good sense of humour, single again, my email is XXXXX @ hotmail, any single ladies please contact me

edit: I can usually be found outside the Vic Secrets Shop in the mall with my nose against the window

My only real hobby is playing pool, my ambition, to play Shiver at pool, maybe we can do pay a per view match streamed over cam? Laughing

Attorney. Real life hobbies include swimming (not as competitive as YW), jogging (ditto), genealogy, and I am an American Civil War buff - a published author on the late unpleasantness.

Riding 100 miles a week on my bicycle mostly at night since this summer has directed me to bicycle and flashlight forums.

I am a Graphic Designer and I love Role Playing - which is what is the big appeal of baiting for me. Its just another form of roleplaying. I'd add URLs but I think there is far too much personal info attached to both to risk it in a Lad Magnet site.

Other than that, I spend a fair whack of time with my 5 kids, love cooking cakes and the like and spend whats left of my spare time (the whole 5 minutes) sleeping in.

I earn my money as a Web-designer.
Besides that I'm quite busy being married. Whenever there's time I like swimming (did competitions some years ago, but not anymore, but I still swim a lot more than other people I meet in the pool), have a few software-development-projects, read a lot (mainly in the train) and like watching movies (which often I don't have the time for I'd like to have).

Retired from U. S. Navy. Subsequently attended 2-year dental auxiliary training institute and worked in dental surgery assisting oral surgeon/implantologist. Had a small consulting/training business for OSHA and state dental board compliance. Then worked as newspaper reporter, staff writer, columnist. Not working now...concentrating on my hobbies:

-Build small, highly-detailed model wooden boats and ships from scratch...not kits. Have about 18 units now. Looking for small museum to place these on permanent loan.
-I like to boat; have small trawler-type boat, diesel-powered, 21' fiberglass, nice pilothouse.
-Like to use my camper van...designed and built the inside myself. Like to travel, camp, pull my boat along. When boating I take photos, read a lot, and write on my computer.
-Read a great deal. And I like to keep my hand in some writing...mainly short stories and poetry, memoirs, non-fiction pieces.

Etc, etc...

I'm a teacher, but have a background in psychology and sociology as well. I am interested in and enjoy anything that has to do with children.
I like classic movies: I love Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Gene Kelly, Bogart and Becall. I also like watching comedy a lot. I used to belong to an online forum where I was very involved in debate (politics usually). And enjoy watching/reading news. I mean the real news, not Entertainment tonight and people. I like cooking, reading (Orson Scott Card is my favorite author), puzzles and board games. Damn. I just re-read what I wrote, I'm getting old.

I do IT Project Management and Software design. I have a consulting business on the side, doing the same sort of stuff.
I love hiking in the Rockies (but I live in the Midwest), snow skiing, water skiing, golf.
I also enjoy photography and have made many futile attempts to sell stock photos on one of those "We buy really great photos" sites.

What's really sick is I miss (computer) programming. Confused

I also enjoy compulsive bullshitting. Very Happy

Hold down the fort at an Inner City Hospital. Fight and arrest more than most of my friends that are also LEO's. Work my 40 hrs in 3 days and have my beautiful daughter on my days off. Unless Murry Guru is planning on having her kidnapped by our contract killer lad. Laughing

I love using my camera, my daughter is my main muse.
Considering my first Triathalon . . . sprint distance. Any help from YeahWhatever would be appreciated, hint hint. Wink

Indoor and outdor climbing has become a passion. Like this forum, the climbing community around here is full of some of the greatest humans I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
Currently being run through the meat grinder of my ex girlfriends life. Trying not to let it destroy me like it did last time.
