Well when I have no work (and there is always work in your own comapny) And when I'm not baiting my time is pretty much divided between

Going to the bar
Live concerts
Reading Pratchett
Scale modelling and dioramabuilding (geeky I know)
Photography
Photo manipulation
Women

In my spare time, I:

- design more efficient cycling helmets
- help to categorize new strains of common-cold virus (by DNA/RNA sequencing, of course)
- create erotic art with nothing but my computer, a metre of rope, and a good imagination
- think about watching sunsets in wild and exotic places
- try to raise things from the dead in a zombies-take-over-the-world experiment
- help uphold law and justice wherever I see it being broken (that's all laws, yes even the silly ones from a few centuries ago that have not been repealed)
- proofread the text on milk and juice cartons (I get paid for this one, so it might not fit as a pastime)
- practice synchronized blinking in a local synchro-blink group.

Surprisingly, one of those is almost true.

Now where does the rope fit in here?

I tried that, but it took too much time, and my wife didn't like it so I had to change my plans for hostile take-over of the world.

Ooh. Well outside of work and playing on the internet (under which baiting is included cos I call that "play")

Swimming
Going out eating and drinking with Friends (you know, those Real Life people!)
Sci Fi Conventions
Belly Dancing (mostly ATS and tribal fusion / street style)
Watching movies
Reading (currently reading Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake books)
I don't smoke (at all) or drink (rarely ever) but I am addicted to coke. (Coca Cola that is)

Much love to the caffeine molecule.

This that and the other...oh, and also making love to a beautiful woman, and selling used cars,though obviously not all at the same time.

Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 1:06 pm

I'm very glad it is not at the same time. Laughing

Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 5:37 pm

If those were all at the same time Tommo, multitasking would definitely have a new meaning. Laughing

Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 6:25 pm

^^^That is just so funny(and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way) because my original draft reply did include the multi-tasking thing but I decided to delete it because I couldn't type and watch the TV at he same time. I kid you not! Laughing

^^^As I have said, my sparkly eye sees all! Now maybe everyone will believe me. Laughing

I take it Tommo you never saw the movie Used cars with curt russel. in the opening scene the other salesman that worked at this lot was showing a ford pinto to a hot chick and the next time you see them there in the back of the pinto hammering out the details of the purchise of the auto.

I'm a fishaholic. I like to find them, catch them, and eat them.
Subsequently, I tend to hike a lot of miles, stand in water for hours at a time, sit in boats on the lakes in the boiling the sun. My back, knees and ankles are bad, and my skin looks like wrinkled leather. But I call this fun. Smile

dragracing, working on my lawn, BBQing, watching Tv with my family.

Playing videogames - Laughing

I get to choose between PS2, PS1, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive, Amiga, Atari ST, NES/Famicom, old DOS games or the new, state of the art performance hungry PC games. Or even older ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC or BBC Micro games.
Reading: SciFi magazines, Terry Pratchett, and a lot of other authors.
Watching SciFi TV series.
Fixing/dusting/upgrading the old computers and game consoles I collect.
Hitting the flea market to find some more of the above stuff.
Listening music ( Laughing

although I'm a metalhead, I have a place for celtic, balkan and classical music too)

Play squash
Watch movies
Hike (did a big Western National Parks 'tour' in 2005! Was amazing!)
Read (for pleasure not for work)
Bug my friends
Entertain my significant other
Have a giggle at http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php

Not necessarily always in the order stated above.

Well seeing as i'm probably alot younger then most of you, I enjoy getting tanked (thats drunk for you senior members who are not 'hip' with the lingo) with my friends and just having a good time, I enjoy clubbing and long walks on the beach. Recently, I've started playing with lads alot more, and I enjoy getting rejected by girls as well, that always makes me smile.

Who has free time? But I like flying, fishing, flyfishing and cycling. I put on some new tires on one bike Sunday and a neighbor asked me how many bikes I had. We counted 10.

Edit-grammar again.

My main passion is saltwater fishing. Here in the SE Estados Unidos, we have a ton of fishing. My state is known as the "Fishing Capital of The World". Wink

I also play poker although my girlfriend actually encouraged me to find a hobby to replace poker. That's where baiting came in.

That's funny, my better half plays poker online while I'm baiting. The two activities are a lot alike...

I do both at the same time. Just started at the 100/200 table about an hour ago with 8,000 in chips. Right now I have about 240,000. Best one so far was when a guy tried to push all in with A 7 offsuit on me and I called with pocket aces. Laughing
