Motorbikes - riding a dinky Honda CB125 for the last year. It gets me where I want to go. Takes about five minutes to get to 60mph (with a tailwind) but the fuel economy is terrific (just as well given that the tank holds about the same amount as the average teacup), and insurance/tax/spares/etc. are pocket money sums. Had the 250 version of the CB before that, another nice little bike.
Shooting - been getting really into .177 and to a lesser extent .22 air-rifle target shooting after being into smallbore target shooting years ago. Have a .177 Air Arms S210 I picked up for a ridiculously low price second-hand. Reconditioned, it does 1" groups at 45 yards. Wonderful piece of kit, flat-shooting and simple to use. I'd recommend it as a "grown ups" gun for anyone getting into target shooting. Also had a Weihrauch HW97 years ago. Another lovely gun,
superbly engineered, but heavy as the arse and fairly pricey for what is essentially a spring-powered gun, albeit an extremely well-made one.
Writing - I've written a few treatments, a short film script for Scottish Screen that didn't get past the initial stage, many sketches, short stories, etc. Nearly had a 30min spec script for Channel 4's
Comedy Lab strand produced some years ago. Submitted it Jan 2000, got a letter from Commissioning Editor, Comedy at C4 six weeks later saying he wanted to go with it but I'd have to find a production company myself. Long story short, I had no experience regards production and nothing came of it. Shame, really. Incidentally, the editor who liked my script and assisted me was the guy who recruited Sacha Baron Cohen for C4 and co-created Ali G with him. He's now head of all Entertainment programming at Channel 4.
I also used to write movie, book, music and club reviews for
The List magazine in Edinburgh as a freelancer. Worked at a couple of local newspapers as a copyboy/trainee when I was 18/19.
Music - I play bass guitar, an Ibanez Soundgear 200. Nice thin neck, clanky sound, fast-playing action with light-gauge strings. It's done me as a beginner thru novice thru intermediate player and I don't plan on replacing it any time soon. I particularly love jazz fusion stuff like Weather Report, Jaco Pastorius, Brand X, Jeff Beck, Return To Forever, Ohm, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc., though I can't exactly play like any of them, sadly.
Design - I make my living as a graphic designer. Never was much good at sh*t like life drawing, or trying to render a bowl of manky fruit in pastel and chalks. Design is my passion, from film posters to product packaging and banners and everything in between.
Sailing - Not wind-powered sailing, but I spend a lot of time at sea in an old ex-RNLI McLachlan-class lifeboat that I share with my father, an ex-Merchant Navy deck officer, and which is moored off of his house some 30mins drive from where I live. Mostly sea lochs with the odd foray out into the Firth getting on towards the Irish Sea. Very stable boat, handles well, not too fast but a great solid pair of diesel engines (as long as they're maintained
). The old boy also has an old classic-looking Arbroath trawler that he spends an enormous amount of time on now and which he'll probably live on full-time come his retirement in the next few years or so.

Movies - My favourite film is Alien. I've got the Quadrilogy boxset - best DVD buy ever. Bargain, man.
Women - I cannot tell a lie, I love birds. They are the most wonderful thing ever created. They make the world turn and my heart beat faster. If it's got dark hair, brown eyes, big jugs and is under 5'3" I'm in love. If it's aged between 16 and 18 so much the better *rubs hands gleefully*. That said, I'll sting just about anything depending on the circumstances.
(by the way, Foxtrot's post is the biggest laugh I've had all week. Slightly disturbing though was the fact that upon seeing "Austin Kincaid (creampie)" I immediately knew both who that is and the act the term refers to 
)
Smoking - As a committed smoker of roll-ups, you can't beat specialist tobaccos from the local tobacconist: Dutch, coffee, cherry menthol (my favourite), menthol, brandy, etc. - they're all great. Now and then I'll smoke a pipe full of St Bruno...that'll put hairs on your chest (and cancer in your lungs).
Chopping wood - It's just good fun. On with the log-splitter.
Dogs - I love almost all dogs, but particularly Dobermanns (magnificent animals), West Highland and Scottish Terriers.
Farting about with my computer - I cannot resist taking it to pieces and putting it back together, adding RAM and switching it around in different sockets, faffing with the motherboard, overclocking, squeezing every last iota of power from my graphics card, blah blah etc.
Walking and Running - I have legs like Spartacus. Believe it.
Voluntary Work - I used to do 8 - 16 hours a week average in a harm-reduction organisation giving advice and support on matters of drug use and sexual health to young adults and older teenagers (generally 14+). We also gave out condoms anonymously through the C-Card scheme. I've done a lot of training in matters of child protection, confidentiality, first aid for various overdoses, general health and wellbeing, one-to-one counselling and group therapy, etc.
I got a lot out of it, though sometimes it could be difficult, eg. giving a 10-minute condom demonstration to a half-dozen lovely 15yr old girls, rolling a johnny bag over a plastic replica of an erect penis, talking about breakages and what to do "if it slips off", and afterward having them ask me if I have a girlfriend 
. Utterly mortifying. Getting into clubs for free was one bonus though, and the ocassionally hilarious spectacle of people who'd utterly mangled themselves with drugs and who were dragged to or prodded toward us for care and support. At one end of the spectrum this could be in the form of a glass of water, perhaps some Dioralyte, perhaps a reassuring chat and cup of tea and sandwich. At the other, it could result in a call to A&E and an ambulance ride, or a visit from the polis if they got a bit saucy (though this very rarely happened). I believe we prevented a lot of people from injuring/harming themselves or from getting filled in by *******witted bouncers and "security staff" either too stupid or unwilling to understand the situation.
(oops, I appear to have written a book...)
