    Quite a lot.

    Do some many cool courses that I just couldn't do anywhere else. I mean I can clear a landing area for a Merlin using PE4 and det cord. Am I ever going to use it...no. But it fecking fun to learn it.

    Got to do The "Dunker" (how to escape a ditched/sinking helicopter - this was so ******* cool its unreal).

        Horse Riding - although I mainly do affiliated show jumping on one of my horses and I do carriage driving with the other one (hoping to try and qualify for the british team next year)

        Motorcross - I have 2 motorcross bikes which I take out every Saturday.

        They are my main hobbies!

          And a geological component too - take a look at the geological timescales and compare the breaks with Phi (inverted Amen Break wave).

            Find out if you can do the submarine escape tank. That is a lot of fun.

              Yes, but geological tiome is a little longer than what I'm interested in! I'm looking at catching a persons heart beat and dragging it up, more reliably. Then they have too much energy and have to jump about.

                I play the guitar and am learning some sequencing stuff.

                Wouldn't call myself a failed musician as such although I had a crack in my early 20s. They wanted me to wear leather trousers and recruit 16 year old girls for the management to have their wicked way with.

                Now I work in IT.

                Learning computer-music stuff is actually quite challenging but I'm getting there. Maybe I'll build my own label and start recruiting.... or maybe not

                I quite like visiting ancient castles and ruins - take me to Greece or Rome and I'm as happy as a pig in what pigs like to spend their time in.
