what do you do on your days off

[ukbabz]

27, most weekends involve driving to see the family back home (200+ miles away) or skydiving which takes me around the country for various events and to see mates. On the odd weekend I don't spend in the air / with family I'll do something couple-y with my gf - usually a trip into London or to the coast.

Have you considered Scuba Diving. I dive most weekends with my club. Great guys and we have a fairly good social life outside of our hobby as well.

Inland diving is loads of fun and massively challenging if you can't get to the coast.

41 and married but no kids. I've got three motorbikes and a car keep me busy riding/driving/tinkering, plus we go to loads of festivals and watch a lot of live music. We're also lucky where we live in a nice part of Reading, within walking distance of the Thames, 15 minutes cycle into open countryside, but 30 mins fast train to Paddington to do things in the big city. Often we'll play at being tourists in London, so much to see and do (that needn't cost the earth). I'm also learning guitar very slowly. All of that doesn't give me much other spare time, life is pretty full on!

O/T but are you named after the Camden bar? Remember doing a tequila shot out of a girl's cleavage there once.

Play dad.
Play biker.
Play mechanic.
Play with my penis.

Sometimes I combine all four.

Not sure the first and last are compatible?!! Lol

I'm 30 and seem to spend most of my time working on my house, or scheming to buy more houses. I'm also playing and watching football each week and the rest of the time is spent relaxing with my fiance. But in terms of going out and actually "doing" something those times are few and far between, not least because getting all my mates together at one time, especially those that have kids is increasingly more difficult. It's not down to weddings, Christmas etc that there is a realistic chance of getting everyone in the same place, at the same time.

Had the day off today. I'm 51. Got the tube to Baker St and walked from there to the Tate Modern to see the Matisse exhibition. Got there about 11 only to find that unless you'd booked, there was a 3 hr wait. Couldn't really be bothered with that, so decided to book and come back another day. So I walked back to Baker street via a different route, browsing in various shops as I went. Then the tube home. So in the end, did very little, apart from walk about 8 miles thru C. London. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Fancy being in a group, drinking beer, acting like a teenager, indulging in questionable practices, working up a sweat, singing rude songs, doing a moderate amount of exercise?

How long have you been teaching for? I'm in my first year. I love teaching but I've never been in a job with such staggeringly low morale!

And suddenly I seem to have become one of the miserable lot!

6 years - I'm a PT in a primary school. Holidays are great as are the kids. Unfortunately, the almost all female population in the primary sector is a downside.

No, the (original) Reading Bar - the Camden one is an offshoot. It's my local watering hole, where I met t'wife, and where I was headed out to when deciding a user name! Plenty similar activities at the Reading one, alas the barmaid that used to do an impromptu Saturday night strip has long-since left
