Thanks rincewind but I cannot use scooters comfortably for long periods due to my spinal problems. As you say, several places do kindly offer scooters, but not all terrain chairs.

This would do me perfectly, but look at the price!!

I shall keep buying a lottery ticket lol

talk about a small fortune, i could get get a car for that. Interesting device though. Just thought i'd mention the buggy thing. The whole walk normally takes an hour or so. Really nice of a local council to offer such a facility in my opinion.

[-V-]

kinda sad but posting on Forums is my only hobby after vaping...

Does searching the internet for the latest vaping gismo count???

Wow ... A life outside vaping ... I might try it

I do find that while vaping I can write however, and am STILL editing the book I wrote last year. It has always been my ambition to write a book, and I did ... That was the easy bit. Rewriting is a lot harder especially for someone with mild dyslexia I can get the spelling sorted with spell check, but punctuation drives me nuts, when I am reading "normally." I don't even see it. I have trained myself to spot the mistakes I know I automatically make, but when it gets to the complicated stuff ... it's hell That and reading all the advice on how not to write, boring/confusing people, rewriting whole swathes of text ... deleting whole swathes of text that took days to write ...

It's a fantasy novel, if anyone is interested, and the few people who have read it can't wait for me to write the next one, which is the best praise I can hope for. I need to get this one to the point where I can "go public" with it first. Writing for my own pleasure is one thing, but it would be more satisfying if people actually want to read them, without going cross eyed at the punctuation and/or getting bored and wandering off.

Vaping is much better than the stinkies, when I get lost in writing I would chain light cigs, take one puff, then forget them til they burnt out, and repeat the process :Di

Small world, I have a friend in Denmark that wrote a book only last year. Fantasy too. Ponder....

 

Can't be me, I have no friends Pretty sure I would remember being friends with a bug too  Feel free to pm me if you think we may have met in a previous life I do have a rather convoluted past

Horse riding and playing golf if I had the cash but lately living a life doom and gloom.

Although thinking about applying for the vacant women's England manager's job.

You do know the manager doesn't get to join in the team bath?

Didn't know that Dolly, just have to make do with the changing rooms or the piley on when we win the cup

I'm a bit like Chris, I want to do everything, but end up not having enough time to do anything properly, I love reading fantasy and military history books (fact and fiction) pm me dragon if you want someone else to read your book!
Fishing, but never get the time, old motorbikes, ditto, growing my own food/gardening. Making stuff with tools.... anything really, made a trebuchet recently, which I was playing with this weekend and throwing apples into the field behind

I suppose my family is the biggest hobby, as it takes the majority of my time, that and living in a victorian house, which despite being here over 10 years still isn't the way we want it.

.... And decent red wine together with relaxing, which if I want to stay sane, I always allow some space for

I`m a member of `Age UK` walk and talk, where upon 2 times a week we meet and go for walks in the Staffordshire area of Chase forest.
Members are 65 plus, and our group has a core of around 20 walkers. We go on walk throughout the year, come rain, snow, whatever, great exercise and keeping the mind and body active.
Will on next walk take my camera and post pic`s of the country side and members.
Can`t sit around all day surfing the net.
Today our walk finished at the Windmill pub in Gentleshaw, and in the window was a notice welcoming electronic cigarette users, first one I have seen, hope more appear in pubs throughout the UK.
Footnote: there are 3 ladies in our group who are `vapers`, ego 650 + clearomiser users.

Musics a biggy for me(play guitar really really badly....no seriously not being modest im naff at it) love books, but the two things that really do it for me is long walks with my dogs and i like fixing/making things and researching projects(Im not technically gifted which adds to the challenge and sense of achievement).

I liked nothing more than working on a car with a mate, but backs gone a bit , athritis in my shoulder so im moving over to woodwork which is handy as we have a caravan in the borders which we are putting alot of work into but its good quality time with my wife and a shared hobby.

[Fallen Angel]

When I am not playing mmo's with my friends I can be found most weekends during the summer months running around fields shooting my brother and our friends, as I am a member of a WW1 & WW2 living history group, which was the main reason why I went back into full time education and have just graduated with a BA in War Studies


The Menin Gate, Belgium 2004, this was a awesome and very humbling experience (I am forth from the right)



Filming for battlefield detectives 2003 (on coronation street)



English Heritage 'History Live' Kelmarsh Hall 2013 (that foxhole was where I slept for the weekend )

[Roscopecotrain]

This is amazing. We are all brought here through our love of vaping yet we all have so many different hobbies. Brilliant.
Keep them coming everyone this is fascinating.

Work and erm... Work for me atm. We're going through a big restructure right now, so it's all about keeping the boss happy

For my sins I'm a Middlesbrough supporter but haven't been to a match in an age, luckily you might say I used to play WoW but gave up when the pandas arrived. The dogs Max & Paddy keep me fairly busy and I generally have a fantasy fiction book in my hand...re-reading Erikson's MBOTF at the moment.

I'd love to have a look at your novel dragon
