if i was to tell you that ,this morning i spent half an hour tying a National size 26 spade ended barbless reversed round bend short shank, to Bayer ultra-fine pre-streached Perlon 1.7 lb

Indeed it is!

I fly radio controlled model aircraft, Ive got ten now I think? ranging from sports aerobatic planes to a WW2 fighter, I also have a WW1 biplane in construction.

Wizard did you tye by hand or with a gadget?, a size 26 wow that's a little one

I'm a stamp collector. I buy them and also sell Cyprus stamps which enables me to work towards completing my own collection.

I'm also heavily into blogging and can often be seen out and about my Cyprus island with my camera. After all, it's not called "Cyprus Life in pictures" for nothing!

Today it was the annual Episkopi Fete at the SBA Garrison at Happy Valley. So off we popped, stopping on the way to take some fantastic scenic shots from above Ancient Kourion Roman city down to Curium Beach below. On the way back we got some photos of the parascending guys leaping off the top of the cliffs.

wow that's a little one

Firstly and most importantly, my gorgeous African Grey parrots! Although to call them a 'hobby' does them a disservice, they are part of my family and play a huge part in my life (I gave up my annual holidays for them)

Trips (in the UK and further-afield) away for rock gigs and festivals. I always meet-up with lots of friends, friends I've made via band forums and facebook and who have become very good 'real-life' friends. We usually travel together, either by car or by air, and stay together in B&Bs (or tents!).

Photography, in a very amateur, non-DSLR kind of way! I just love taking photos, thinking about how to frame each photo. I'm always on the look-out for a photographic opportunity and take me camera in the car with me. I've got a compact camera and a bridge camera, both Panasonics and both pretty much top of their range.

Reading and the 'net, I love both!

I hope you're not working too. I don't know how you can have time for it!

I remember you getting your first parrot Pippy

Photography, Football, Writing, Drinking Vodka...erm oh yes, learning to play the Saxophone but I have not practised for yonks.

I indulged in the above on Sunday! Went up to Camden to a gig, great time had by all!

Thought our 'singing' near the beginning of this was particularly amazing!

This gig was streamed live, so the camera kept getting in my way when filming!

Great photos Pippy, but you had a brilliant time.

Brilliant, as always when it comes to Muse! Next Muse gig (for me) will be the O2 gig on the 26th of this month, then Poland in November

I run a mobile disco specialising in (vinyl only) 60s 70s and 80s...

ATB,J.

Motorbikes,
anything else with an engine
and karaoke

Apart from seeming to always be working in the wholetime or on call with the local retained fire station I try and go out with my wee balls and sticks then zig zag my way around the golf course, unfortunately it seems to bring out some form of hidden Tourettes.

I gather you spend most of your time in the bunkers Graham
