Can you quickly define your definition of 'hobby' for me?
Because some people would class 'computer games' as a hobby. Whereas I think it should be 'completing a constructive task or partaking in sport for the benefit of enjoyment'.
I didn't copy and paste that sentance by the way.
My answer varies on your definition ;D

My answer varies on your definition ;D A hobby as in an interest you devote time to. Could be anything from bird watching, to walking, computer games, collecting matchboxes? I just thought I'd try and put a thread up for people to post on, nothing sinister. |

If a hobby had to be a "constructive task" then I don't think anyone has a hobby. Mainly because that very much sounds the same as "work". I play poker, play a few games now and then, nothing out of the ordinary. Except for a love of canasta, the over-80s card game  |

If sitting in the pub as much as possible counts then that would be my hobby. Otherwise fishing I suppose.

I've done at least 51 if you include all the poxy ones like Vatican and San Marino, 52 if you count E Germany, but then I have to say I went to Yugoslavia rather than Serbia, Bosnia and Macedonia.
As to hobbies, I like to visit bedsits above fish and chip shops. You usually find interesting people in these places.
