Well does reading books count? Or playing a musical instrument?

Reading books, playing bridge. Jean and I are an excellent pair, though we currently don't have that much time for practicing. About 3 years ago we were really top and would have feared no-one in the world, and I mean it. We need to practice more. Bridge, by the way, is NOT a pastime for old ladies, mas it is usually depicted in movies. On the contrary, it is more like chess. In bridge tournaments the element of card luck is totally eliminated; it all relies on skills. Bridge is, as far as I know, the only card game for which this is true.
Not to forget playing music, of course.

Very true. I had a teacher in high school who was totally obsessed with the game, and once he heard he was, we asked him to show us. We ended up having almost no real classes for the rest of the year, he was always up for a game of bridge, and that second term was one with a lot of freedom to do "whatever we wanted, as long as it was done by dead line". Unfourtunately, you need to be four people (or three, but that's not real bridge) at all times you want to play, so it was hard to keep up, and it is very complicated to learn, so when interest dwindled (also due to the fact that we didn't always have recess at the same time) i lost what little knowledge i had of the game.

And he also told us about that tournament thing, as i understood it, every team (pair...) plays the same hand and the one who handles it the best wins the round, so to speak.

Yep. It's a pretty cool game.

Playing harmonica, reading, writing poetry (when I'm in the correct mindset) & prose, family history/genealogy, researching, history (not really a hobby as such... but it all links in) and I'm about to  (most likely tomorrow) attempt a simple crosstitch pattern to please my partner, who seems to think I won't be able to do it... ouch!

Oh and I sometimes play AD&D 2nd Edition Forgotten Realms too.

Music, reading, video games, general stuff like that. Unfortunately right now I don't have that much free time because I'm either studying  or simply browsing the web with my books open trying to study.
I would like to get into motorcycling and other outdoor activities.

Yep, I am supposed to have an assignment done for Friday and I must try and do it tomorrow... but I keep getting distracted by everything, however mundane it is.

I used to make plastic aircraft kits too, but they've all been boxed away for the moment.  I plan to finish at least one of them though, because I was detailing it all with accessories for potential future display.

Also add to the list R/C Model Aircraft as well, although I've not flown one for ages.

I don't think there is a hobby I haven't tried at sometime or other, but I'm sort of between hobbies at the moment. I am an obsesive who tends to get over-involved with things, which ends up taking all the fun out of it and spoiling the enjoyment... I haven't tried hydroculture yet, but I don't have a basement so the glow of the grow-lights in my shed may attract the wrong kind of attention from Mr Plod.
 
I bought a plastic model aircraft kit of the SR-71 Blackbird sometime back with the idea of re-constructing Roger Dean's cover for Budgie's Squawk album, but that remains unfinished.
 

What?

People like me could throw you by a window or in front of a car. It can also happen to those who plays the recorder.

Ah I see, well I happen to be not bad at it, so at least you'll hear a tune and not a horrible noise.

I get the same about ukulele... my parents constantly practice and they play terrible tunes that I never liked, but now I hate them even more... I cannot win!

There are hobbies besides music!?!Shocked
 
Other than trying to dabble in as many aspects of music as I can: I write occasionally. Poems, stories, skits, whathave you. I don't know if walking is a hobby, but if it is I do that as well. I make stupid horrible drawings as well.
 
I used to  golf...then stopped. I used to bowl...then stopped. I like to do either again.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

You can always give it to a child for a couple of minutes and become responsable of a massacre that will end up with both fathers murdering you with insane cruelty...
