Question

Have been thinking about ways to amuse myself for a while.

Have thought about trying the following:

Parachuting/Skydiving
Scuba Diving
Windsurfing

Anybody do any of these things? am curious to know costs, what physical shape you could do with being in, and are they fun?

Kinda vauge I know, but well, I'm a vauge kinda guy!

For somebody who was in serious financial doo-doo a few weeks ago, those seem like very expensive hobbies to take up!

Very true, hence the questions. I'm just kinda curious. Oh and did manage to sort the ol finances out. Egg came up trumps and sorted me out, I'm now a lot better off that I was 2 weeks ago. V happy.

Cool

Have you thought about Kayaking? Get into freestyle, this is one of the coolest sports around

Give me a shout if you fancy trying it out.

As said, just a thought really, given the ol dosh situation.

Guess I'll stick to sharking! it's cheap and there are all kinds of great fringe benefits

Parachuting - Excellent
Pull or Die!!

Expensive to start with but can be quite affordable. Find a small airfield near you that has a parachute/skydiving club and go and talk to them. Real enthusiasts. You can get hooked though.

Buying a high powered car and tinkering around with it in your garage to make it go faster and handle better is a good hobby, hours of fun to be had but it can get expensive and is definitely addictive
