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'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.

I don't know... that worked out all right for the Pogues most nights. ;)

I'm not sure what I am supposed to be discussing in this thread, I got a little lost half way down page 2, but it sure has brought a smile to my face reading it all!

Oh yeah, keeping fit...

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....
