I knew someone was going to say that.

Not my kind of scene, I have never, and I will never pay for it.

Was joking dude! I'm of the same opionion as you but just had to say that!

Well, I've been there too.

Not what I'd call a great hobby.

I collect bootlegs /live music/[/i]

What about taking up a martial art?

There are so many golfers here, we'll have to have a DF golfing event. My hubby is one of those crazy guys who still plays all summer long.

Colecting Snakes & Scorpions and to a lesser degree spiders

cool, photography, reading and ... collecting insects

have you tried photography? this would be a good time to document what is happening in dubai while the face of the city is changing on a daily basis.

Shooting,
Sitting in Shopping malls at the coffee shop with your sunglasses on, watching the world/women go/walk by!
Scuba Diving,

I am thinking of taking up shooting. Heard it was pretty good. No hand-guns, only rifles, so i have heard.

Skeet shooting is ace.

For some reason, shooting just doesn't turn me on.

Go skydiving with DK... Once you pop you can't stop apparently. But you have to put up with watching skydiving movies for hours on end and talking about it ALL the time. At least it's an interesting sport... it's not like cricket or anything! Apologies to cricket fans!

Why you'd jump out of a perfectly good airplane... is beyond me.

It's safer than diving/swimming as a friend can testify!!!!

Diving from a great height?

Indeed! Ask DK or SpyCee... they're the know it alls when it comes to skydiving!

Skydiving is for crazy people

So is the desire to drive in Dubai.

Oh yeah, guess I should let people know that I am soon to hit the roads here. Look out for me in an Emirates Driving Institute car near you!

I used to shoot in the UK and have only been to the JA shooting range once here. I was pathetic - I blame the guns myself

The bummer is that you're not alowed to own a gun here, so I had to sell my shotgun before coming here.

Anyway - if anyone wants to go skeet (or another discipline) shooting, let me know - it's more fun with a group of people.

Oh, on the subject of hobbies - what about kite-surfing. I need to lose a lot of weight (and get fit) before I can take it up, but it is something I am working towards.

cheers,
Shafique

what is it they say about a bad workman and his tools Shaf ??





Now on the other hand i only came 7th in the DF Kart Race because it was a definate fact that my Kart was inferior to the the 6 who beat me

Wow, skeet shooting, interesting!

I have a new friend who has practised Akido for many years. He says it is excellent. It is a martial art where you use the other person's momentum etc. to deflect their attacks. Unlike many other martial arts, there is no kicking and punching. You need to learn how to roll and dive so that you don't get any arms or collarbones broken etc., but other than that you don't have to be that physically fit. I'm going to try Akido at some point, because it seems useful and fun! Apparently women excel at Akido.

Ugh.. sounds like one of those martial arts where finesse is required.

Me, if I took a martial art up, I'd want to be able to splinter railway sleepers with my forehead, none of this ducking and diving rot.
