How have your hobbies changed over the years and has there ever been a hobby that has lasted all the way through?

Hobbies deteriorated a bit due to constraints on time via work and my OH also placing further constraints on my time.

I still play computer games (when I have the time) which I have done since I were a nipper and had an Atari 2600

Things like radio controlled cars and planes etc.. I used to play with but don't anymore.

I guess Cars are more of a hobby now.. Well, driving.

I built a Tamiya Vanessas Lunchbox 2 years ago. Since then we've moved into the flat and had a baby etc...

the lunchbox hasn't been painted yet and its never even been run.

It'll probably end up as a toy for baby monkey.

Unfortunately, I am unable to disassociate the word "hobby" with this image:

[P-J]

I believe finding spelling mistakes and posts that have been been written before is a new hobby for many, but I don't see the appeal myself.

[Stevenj214]

At the moment my hobbies include:

Movies
Tropical Fish
New pup
Computer Games (Rome: Total War & FM2009 are the games of choice at the moment)
Camping

Hobbies that have fallen by the wayside recently, but will get back into when I have some time:

Comedy club
Playing football
Aussie Rules
Poker

Old hobbies that are gone and never likely to reappear:

Basketball
Badminton
Games Workshop models

and finally things I'd like to do but haven't got around to yet:

Climbing
Scuba diving
Building an RC Car

[FTJoe]

Current:

Wildlife/nature - all aspects, mostly attempting photography at the moment.
Mountainbiking - getting back into it slowly after years of not riding
Cars - only just started treating the car as any kind of hobby, sure this will be one hobby that lasts though.
Guitar - playing again after years of not bothering much
PC games - hardly playing at the moment but occasionally still enjoy shooting things

Will be taking up soon (funds/time allowing):
Skiing - been this year, hopefully will be an annual/biennial trip
Scuba diving - not been for 10years, will be going again shortly!
Shooting - some time in the future I hope to join a rifle club, always looked fun, relaxing and quite skillful
Drawing - only tend to do this when on holiday and have the time, would like to be a lot better and think I could be with a bit of help and practice


Gone forever:
Badminton
Climbing - used to climb a lot (Avon gorge, Wye valley etc) but doubt i'll ever be in the same shape I was when I was 18 and better things to spend money on than the gear.
Skateboarding - far too scared of hurting myself and looking crap
Recorder playing - quit when I was 9 and can;t see me ever taking it up again...

He is, indeed, the master.

Mmmm, weak lemon drink.

D'oh, forgot about Scuba (but then this is a holiday hobby) and keeping marine fish (more of a vocation than a hobby I think!).. These are things I started as an adult.

Established 1984, You should be deceased 2009 with hobbies like that

[TedMaul]

Current Hobbies:
Parenting
Getting fat
Going bald
Picking up hair

Past Hobbies:
Racing RC Cars
Kayaking
Camping
Mountain biking
PC Gaming (Nascar and GPL mainly)

Training for my Porterhouse Blue

The moral of the story is kids and hobbies do not mix well, although I hope as they grow I will get to go camping again along with a bit of kayaking and mtbing. Off to look at Sheffield Canoe Club and dream!

Haha, maybe. I enjoy being me so must be doing something right.

I should make it clear that the hill climbing I intend to do in the future will involve something similar to this:

Quite how I got a woman to marry me I don't know!
