thought maybe we could chat about our favourite hobbies or pastime if you have time. It would be very interesting to know.

I have bred dogs for many years and attended dog shows on a regular basis have bred champions, several abroad. I have made may good friends from my doggy friends and customers.

Have a passion for music-- all sorts really but adore EARLY MUSIC and choral music a LOT.

belong to music making groups which is hard work but fun.

Scottish, highland and folk dancing used to be my passion but can no longer dance at all which I find frustrating but thats life.

work takes up a lot of my time at the moment, had to take on a lot more when one of the co-owners of our firm passed away so sort of been busy with that for the last year, apart from that I like the odd round of golf when I can get the time, like messing around on computers, waching films, watch a lot of tv at the moment, plus a bit of online gaming when the mood takes me… also quite keen on swimming, not the best swimmer but still enjoy it

One of my favorite hobbies is play soccer (football). I’ve been playing since I was little - really love it . My favorite team is Manchester United!!! I also love to sing , draw, cook, play my saxophone, and much more that I can’t really think of right now

Manchester Utd fan eh.....

can you get Premiership games over there?

uh ya I think so… We get Fox Soccer Channel which broadcasts all european games.. but I never have time to watch ‘em… and I think we might have lost the channel!    Now Imma have to go check the tele! Be right back

Woo, we still have it Now I’m gonna start watching it more!! 

well, they not doing so well so far this season, so i think they need all the help they can get

Birmingham City fan here by the way.... next division down, but we’ll be back up next season..... 

I love my computer and the internet. I cant live without this things. I like reading, singing (out of tune of course), dancing when I’m singing, watch movies in the cinema, swimming, making a pictures. I like needlework like cross stitching, knitting and tinker. I love cook, specially Thai cuisine. And i very much like working. I work too much but I can’t imagine my life without work. And my latest hobby is making and editing films. I hope that I do not discourage and keep doing that. 

Just got finished watching the Manchester United vs. Celtic game - came out 1-1. Anyone happen to catch it? Both goals were fantastic.

ah no, damn… i’m afraid bonfire night celebrations had priority, was a work thing too so couldn’t really skip it… glad it ended up 1-1 though

What’s “bonfire night”?

ah, bonfire night…

its a british thing, commemorates a failed attempt to blow up the houses of parliament on November 5th 1605… people have fireworks etc…

all explained here my friend....

this wouldn’t happen to be “remember, remember, the fifth of November” would it?

indeed it would…

and despite the credit crunch over here, people have set off a fortune in fireworks....

its like living in beirut round by me at the moment....

Here too, I am saving our fireworks for when all the kids are home, it will be probably at Christmastime or newyear.

trouble is that nowadays we get fireworks for ages not just on bonfire night. when I was a kid it was just on the one night and we had bonfires and roasted our potatoes and chestnuts in the embers.  the fireworks were not as big as the ones available these days. way too loud. its okay for professional displays but not suitable for letting off in the streets as happens. its awful for animals now too.

we used to make a GUY out of old clothes etc and ask for a penny for the guy. some places have big events. there is a place LEWES in sussex where they celebrate in a very big way. burn effigy’s of the pope as well.
