    You can stop licking my arse anytime you like now, Steve. Although, I must say, it's another thing you're good at.

    Good is questionable, but hobbies are golfing, mountain biking and photography.

    Really into golfing now and play at least once a week if not twice, mountain biking I now do more off than riding the 'Blade. As for photography, I used to be massive into it but off late it's been on the back burner. Wish I was better at golf, need more saddle time for the MTB and I like to think I used to be good at taking photo's.

    It can be what you want it to be.When I started 7 yrs ago I bought a £250 gun and got better and better.For 6 years I went every week learning at different shoots with different birds as they call it.The shoots change their birds every week so the variety is enormous. I stopped going every week when I worked out how much it was costing me.£6k a year.That's when I decided to slow it down and buy a bike with the money I saved from not going every week. £20 a round plus your cartridges etc.A good competition gun like my Dt10 between £2500 to £10, 000.To start try it first then buy a cheap gun and kit then when you get into it buy better equipment.

    I'm pretty good at spending money. That has got to be my biggest hobbies at the moment. Either mine or my mates ;)

    A mate of mine said recently that I'm allergic to the stuff. Way I see it, better enjoying it while you can.

    Apart from that I'm not too shabby at that shooting malarky either. At 14 I was in the winning team for the Lucas tooth .22 target shoot, and top gun at the annual field target shoot for the army cadets, shooting all sorts of weapons. Can't really remember all the rifles, but the SA80 and LMG were amongst them. Doest do any harm when you have a shooting coach for a dad :)

    bikes are my life and what I'm best at but apart from that I did have other hobbies.
    I was good once at kung-fu, even took part in the world martial art games and just missed out on a bronze :(
    I also used to DJ a lot.have played as a guest DJ on some radio stations over here and played a good lot
    of pubs and clubs but it all got knocked on the head when baby number two came and my music studio
    became a bedroom :s.
    now its mountain biking and photography but I need too find more high adrenalin sports as im getting bored.

    I used to be a bit handy with a camera and also did a fair bit of karting in the past.
