Used to play lots of rugby but then
I got into skateboarding.
Messed up my arm pretty bad snowboarding a
few years ago so now I just Surf (in the ocean).
Just back from snowboarding. Broke bindings, gouged board a little on a rock that was hiding under the powder, but I'm fine! Never got into skateboarding and I think I'm a bit old to start skateboarding around the central bank now! might get into parkour a bit in the summer - just running gets boring.
As for football. Supporting Shamrock Rovers is exercise - you try waving a 5m x 5m flag for 5-10 minutes at the start of a game and see how you feel!

Our guitarist wrote a wee prog to do just that for Ebay.
It waits for the very last nanosecond to submit the bid and
hey presto you are the winner!
I guess he could mod it.
Uh oh, I hope he didn't put in too much work cause there are gazillions of those on the net, they're called ebay snipers. Try searching google!

na, he does it for fun
:roll:
I called around to him one night and he was
repairing a crashed HD.
He was rebuilding some of the code in HEX!?
He's a freek.
We call him 'Data' in the band.

I don't know... that worked out all right for the Pogues most nights.I'm in a Metallica tribute band based in Glasgow, trying to get it going properly this year. All we've done so far is one gig where we got too drunk.

With 12 acres of gardens, I put more miles on a wheelbarrow each year than I do on my car.
I also keep meaning to get more active in Beagling, but somehow I only seem to make one or two outings a winter. I must get more serious about it next year....
