Everyone has got one. A hobby the don't really like to admit in public (we'll discount anythig sexual from this  would be too obvious). What is everyone's guilty pleasure hobby? Mine is LARP, which is Dungeons & Dragons, but you actually dress up and do it with foam swords and stuff |

I have a huge collection of old band and gig/tour badges, but not that guilty about it. Went to an exhibition about The Jam in Liverpool a week or 2 back and spent over an hour looking at the badges in the collection, just a touch obsessed about badges, the best memento of all! |

Things like the coat yes, but for bunting an cushions patchwork and curtains etc the machine is far quicker. I've also made ethereal curtains for my 4 poster bed. That took some time! |

I (Mrs) like origami, particularly mathematical origami (I once made models of all the platonic solids without the aid of glue, it was wonderful), puzzles (especially things like Sudoku and Hanjie) and cross stitch (though that makes me very sweary). |

I don't have bloody crayons
They add shading & texture. I have a white gel pen that's actually brilliantly useful. |

"Knitting, crochet, general crafty stuff. Writing poetry. Listening to classical music very loud..  "
I like classical too. Rex Tremendae is my fave piece. Male vocal chorus is amazing. |

"We are completely obsessed with Harry Potter ... Ok it's out there lol
Eh... I have several Harry Potter t shirts & a Harry Potter colouring book. "
Don't bother reading the cursed child.
Ok plot line, bit confusing at times. Some flash backs to the original books are completely wrong. Can't believe jk allowed it to be published with those basic and horrible mistakes in it.  |

Trying to be a bit vague as it'd narrow me down for those who care to stalk, but a hobby of mine is leatherworking. Not in the sense of manufacturing kinky things, but things like diaries and equipment for another hobby involving bullseyes (bring on your best misinterpretation ) |

Every now and again I like to go airsofting. Quite therapeutic shooting your friends and fellow work colleagues with replica automatic weapons. Normally a lover not a fighter but it is good fun especially the outdoor woodland games. |

Mine is collecting slot cars. Not secret but guilty as they are not cheap! I have a love of American Muscle cars - I don't care about the technical side of them like BHP etc etc but just love the look of them and they make up a significant proportion of my collection.
Also have a large collection of Pop! Vinyl bobble heads and Nerf Guns.

"Mines my rescue animals. Neither secret or feel guilty. It's my time and I don't think it's a bad way to use it."
I used to rescue rabbits and Guinea pigs. It became quite an obsession, I've had to give it up now |

(L) Playing table top games sf&ste punk such as & building scale models. (T) Any thing small and furry.
When reading this it did occour that a nice ice breaker might be to meet up and play a board at a pub or swingers club then see where the night goes. Some thing like Cassassone or Escape From Atlantis or Pandemic or any simple co-operative game.
With a game it often easier to get chatting than just over a drink. Any other suggestions for a game? |

Mines mainly cats, though I do foster dogs and hedgehogs at times as well. X |

I (mr) read a hell of a lot of sci - fi, obscure stuff most people haven't heard of. Not sure that counts. I use to collect key rings. Used to be into origami as a child, might try that again - a lot of posters have given me ideas of what hobbies to try, like birdwatching . My problem is I'm obsessed with a certain thing for a while then suddenly lose interest lol.
My wife used to collect paper weights. We've both just got into adult colouring. |

Outside of the bikes (hardly a hobby tbh) it's astronomy, although with two young kids & a business to run free time to do it is minimal & as my scope is an all singing all dancing affair & weighs 200lb+ setting it up for just a few hours isn't practical either.
But I'm keeping it for when I can get the eldest interested in using it & I don't think it will be long.

I grow stuff....good chillies this year
I'm in a gardening club and a book club..always have a book on the go
I play table tennis in a small club
Crazy about cooking, have hundreds of books, particularly like making Indian Curry
Football mad, follow the Arsenal
But my favourite hobby and I guess it is my guilty pleasure is "Sex"....I practise it alot so it must me classed as a sort of hobby?
Bored Yet.....
P.S. Almost forgot....I still Play PacMan |
