Poor pigeons. I'm against the senseless torture of clay models. Ever since I was edumacated by a pack of neglected garden gnomes.

As long as my lungs don't collapse again, I am in.

Not necessarily but reading is a little plain for me.

What about windsurfing?

knitting - you can have some of the df members import some nice wool from NZ or other wool exporting locales

I love motorcycling !

Ian if you have just an ounce of the aussi spirit for the outdoors and the great wide open, get a motorcycle

"On Yer Bike..Mate"

Fraza's point is a good one Ian.

Stock market is a great hobby, an educational form of gambling that is legal in Dubai

Look who's talking!

I had a hobby. Then it became my work. So my work is my hobby. Ideal situation!

Oh, and I have a gigantic set of high-detail model cars.

LOL so true !!!!.

There are MahJong houses and the occasional Texas Holdem Games but you need to know someone and for Mahjong you have to Filipino at most of them, even kongers have a difficult time finding a game here.

For ian--> since you are raining champ of DF Bowling, they do have leagues here why not join one? indoors so all good for this time of year. I'm also starting a Squash ladder in the Marina area if that is more your taste, I'm calling bottom ring though

I'm quite happy with my work but need a release from it.

It is a great position to be in to have something of a hobby turn into work though, but you have to be careful it doesn't suck the passion out of you.

I have thought about bowling, but I'd like to embark on something new. Bowling every now and then is fun, but every week becomes a bit boring.

It's 100% fair and accurate to say, I don't know what I want to do.

Time for a serious contribution... what about some volunteer work Ian? K-9 friends and the like could always use more volunteers.

As much as I'd like to help in this arena, I'm not a dog lover. I might be showing my ignorance here of exactly what K9 and friends do mind you.

You don't need to be a dog lover - just need to be good with a mop and bucket

K9 friends basically provide assistance to stray dogs etc., I think.
