I'm stuck in on the computer this Saturday night so I'm chatting to this "submissive" girl I met online about what I'm gonna do to her... It's going well at the moment and I'm packing major wood.  :D

Its got potential as long as it isn't a ladyboy or some Police sting...  :?

[MDV]

Since I somehow contrived to make my hobbies into my profession, I suppose all I'm left with is video games.

Reading doesnt count; it should be part of a normal life in civilised society

Afghan, if you had to choose; ladyboy or police sting, what would you prefer? :lol:

[Afghan Dave]

Ah, I like these either or things...

I go for the Ladyboy... It would probably sting in a rather different way but at least I'd still be able to keep my job as a primary school teaching assistant.  :)

[MDV]

That and the police sting could end up stinging over and over...

Probably not worth thinking about, carry on :)

Well, I'm meeting up with her now, so if I suddenly disappear from the forum - DON'T believe what they say about me on the news... I did none of it!

Elliot's a lawyer isn't he?  :?

Let us know if you can still sit down, Dave.

I guess for me its the obvious with guitars etc.

Im trying to learn how to produce some good mixes also.

Then outside of that ive become a big fan of building amps & pedals and tweaking them to perfection.

I am also a big fan of video games mainly stuff like final fantasy, Metal Gear Solid & uncharted.

Stuff with a good strong story line

I like to keep fit by going out road running a few times a week. It's a great way of de-stressing for me!

[Andrew W]

I take quite a lot of photos and sketch and paint a bit though not as much as I should and  I go to watch a lot of cricket in the summer. I see a lot of films too but then I guess that's a bit too close to my job for it to be purely a hobby. :)

Andrew, those sketches are really great!!!

+1 - some great stuff in there. Do you know if there is an equivalent iPhone app? My daughter is getting into drawing and this would keep her very busy on a long drive down to the Lake District that we are doing next weekend!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. And yes, Brushes is also available for the iPhone/iPod. I'd suggest getting a stylus to draw with - I can't do finger painting. I use one called the Pogo Sketch, you can get one for about eight quid from Amazon. Hope that helps.

[Ian Price]

Cheers Andrew - just downloaded the app. Finger drawing is very difficult so will be going for a stylus!

I suspect that any results I/my daughter have will be nowhere near the quality of yours. Will at least keep her busy on our trip though and also be good for me when getting the train.

How many hours would you say you put in to some of those pics? They are extremely good and must require a lot of discipline!

I've all but given up playing guitar for a bit as I have no desire to play and can't seem to find anyone to form a band with that isn't either a backstabbing 2 faced b**tard or that aren't total a$$clowns that can't play. The last drummer I played with couldn't even count to 4 and wondered why none of us started playing when he counted in to 3 and then started playing the song  :shock:

So I've left it for a bit and I've taken up golf  :lol:

Apart from that about the only other stuff I do is play XBox and PS3, watch films, and read.

Each of the sketches is about two hours work - you can go pretty quickly on a tablet, much faster than using traditional media. I don't think I'm disciplined enough and am starting to work on my drawing in a more rigourous way. Thank you for the compliment by the way!
