I'd suggest country walking or something.

My girlfriend and I went to Torquay earlier this month and we walked around Haytor and Canonteign Falls. It's quite relax, good exercise and you can be completely away from the busy life and pressures.

I heartily agree, a lovely country walk is safe, relaxing  - and puts perspective on one's life.  :)

I'd like to thank you all for your very helpful replies and good wishes.  It's been great to hear from you all.  Now then, I'll summarise what I'm going to do based on all of your suggestions:

1. Buy a saxophone and a doberman, read books but STOP touching myself intimately in front of "Loose Women"
2. Start weightlifting, get all buff
3. Buy a camera
4. Go travelling by bike to a leather bar dressed as an undercover policeman.  Take photos of men dancing with each other.
5. Go for a walk.  This may be appropriate as I may not be able to sit down if the evening in the leather bar has gone well.

I'm sure after 6 months of a lifestyle like that I'll feel like a new man ;-{)

cheers for the reply Fourth Feline

I've been having random wiki and youtube binges on bulking info, so much stuff out there, and confusing pointless info pushing supplements, I think I've learnt the majority of the good stuff, if I had the right gear I'd be doing 2 sets per exercise of 8 to 12 reps going to fail, at the moment I'm doing upper body twice a week, would do lunges on a separate day but need more weight

thinking of changing the order of the exercises around a bit so things like chest and back are first, bicep and tricep last since their exercises don't use other muscles apart from forearms and I'm not training those, not directly anyway

I find getting the blood pumping is good for guitar too :)

Do something totally different to anything you've done before... you'll start with no expectations and you can't really fail.

Good luck.
