Yes, I too have a little one to look after but I'd not swap that. Once she's in bed, I can play WoT quietly.

Other times, I'm heavily involved in the internet offerings of what is now a League 2 football club. I engineer and commentate on their live audio service (Radio WDON) and I do most of the editing and publishing of their free highlights  service. I'm also involved in the production and publication of player and manager interviews for audio and video.

I think I'm supposed to be a proper journalist, as the Football League have to approve people like me these days.

For a ramshackle operation, the BBC used our playoff final coverage to open their show. I think that's recognition of sorts.

I do a lot of mountainbiking and enter a number of mountainbike marathons a year. I usually go out on the bike at least twice a week (quite enjoy the night-time forays in winter slip-sliding in the mud) and more often in the summer.
I also do a lot of horse riding, competing at local level doing dressage, show jumping, cross-country and one day eventing.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

Quote from: DuVeL;339925Me and da_Ricci play Korfball. It's a mixed sport, one side is the attacking side with 2 males and 2 females vs 2 males and 2 females and 1 defending side with the same numbers. We actually play the sport allready 22 years now.
Here's a nice vid of it: [video=youtube;VAOYCGNXdbE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAOYCGNXdbE&feature=related[/video]



is this not similar to netball with less players?

Last time I've checked Netball was not a mixed sport (just read it is sometimes). We don't have a net btw and also other rules etc. Anyone on the attacking side is allowed to score and you don't have any roles like Netball.
Definatly not similar in my eyes but then again, I haven't watched a Netball game yet.
And actually, we have more players on the field, 4 attacking, 4 defending. Other team has the same offcourse. And you can score from anywhere you want while attacking if not defended.

Ah yes, I do this too. I have a pretty budget 5 string bass and a large 575 Watt Ashdown Evo 4x10 combo amp. I used to gig back in the day (how I could afford the amp) but now I have the occasional practice session which could be every couple of weeks or months. Very informal with no aspirations of gigging. I don't play it anywhere near often enough, I have so little time these days and I'm so easily distracted.
