I do admire people who can make clothes but can one really make trousers, especially jeans? | Yes Paul they can! My mum made all my clothes until I was well into teenage stage - which included 'hipster' jeans and my auntie on my dad's side could tailor make trousers, jackets and shirts for her husband, my dad's brother - and she did it without a pattern most times  She was frighteningly clever at it

I'm a lapsed painter......... and keep seeing Juliejams excellent watercolours keeps making me want to retake it up .............. but time is the factor - if and when I retire I will return to it.
I read a lot - thrillers and horror mostly
After that - well its going out as much as poss (to see wildlife!!).......... and when I'm not out its planning where to go next and why
And of late - chatting and reading on here!

Seen many a band at Donnington, Reading, Milton Keynes bowl to name but a few venues.
Also have a broader taste and like some classical, and other types of music but rock is always tops.

As for Music I am not into music very much but like a wide variety. I am one of those that if i hear a song i like I dont care who is singing or playing it.My favourite band though is REM. i was lucky enough to go and see them 2 years ago in London. they were brilliant.
My Partner is in one of britains top skinhead bands and plays abroad a lot. He was in a Punk band in the 1970's. So we listen to a lot of wierd stuff a lot of the time. Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Killing Joke, Killing Joke, Cock Sparrer,Alice cooper, marilym manson.. the list goes on

Music is my main interest, after all this. I've been an guitar player since 1968, and spent 26 years (4 of them as a professional), slogging around the UK gig circuit before calling it a day nine years ago. I've been through around twenty guitars during all that, and at my peak owned 12, but now it's down to just 8, which includes two Les Paul Standards, and an ES335TDC.
Heavily influenced by The Blues and Cream (as are several others here).

Although we do occasionally like to take our feet of the gas and give some of the lesser teams a bit of a chance to win a few games, just to be fair

Steve | Hehe who`d have thought it eh The stuff I listen to is more Nile, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Morbid Angel etc etc...theyre all on youtube if you want to check them out S.O.A.D arent bad, but apart from a couple of songs I couldnt get away with Slipknot. For slower stuff, My Dying Bride are worth a listen.

Golf etc.
I do like Model Steam Engines, Narrow boats, Coracles, Films particularly with Astaire and his beautiful partners, Photography, Archery, Guns, Quaint buildings, Looking at Rivers from Bridges, Kite-Flying, Biplanes, Cats, Glass, Women, Books, in fact almost anything interests me but in particular craftsmanship in wood or metal.
I could go on and on (as I sometimes do)

"Biplanes, Cats, Glass, Women, Books" - Lol, Nightshade!
Glad someone else likes looking at rivers from bridges. Even if there aren't any voles, I'll happily hang around a bridge for hours. |

Well I've read all the above ....... and thought '?Who What?' Actually The Who might be nearer to it for this child of the '60's ......... but since my first love (I wonder if I can get out of here alive after saying this?!) my first love is classical - preff played loud whilst driving through the countryside (alone - husband can't abide it!) ......... now I'm going to post this and .....RUN
