    I coach an U14s (next season sees the introduction of kicking for points and lineouts) rugby union side @ Trafford MetroVicks and I support Sale Sharks.

    I love growing veggies in summer - potatoes, tomatoes, courgettes, green beans, strawbs and onions are all inthe ground at the moment.

    I watch cricket - was at Lords for the Eng v Ire land game recently or at Old Trafford trying not to support Lancs.

    I make plastic models - airfix or similar or little plastic figures like Games Workshop stuff.

    Used to do quite a bit of Sugarcraft, decorating cakes and making flowers. Folk never used to appreciate the time, effort and skill that went into it. When I used to tell how much I’d charge, the general response was they could buy one in Asda/Tesco much cheaper. **** off and buy one from there then !!!!! But in a nice way.

    I follow boxing and cricket, on TV and go to matches at Headingley with my son.
    I watch a lot of films, both at home and I go to the cinema at least a couple of times per week.
    Big fan of horror films, James Bond, Batman (I have a stupid amount of comics!)
    I enjoy doing jigsaws with my son.
    I collect things…too many things…far too many things!
    But most of all, I’m obsessively (that may be an understatement!) into music and, since I medically retired 7 or 8 years ago, most of my day I’m listening to music, scouring the internet for cheap records/CDs, exploring new genres to expand my musical tastes (e.g. I spent 2-3 years listening to pretty much nothing but rap music a few years ago, then a couple of years doing similar with jazz), and giving myself daft projects that I enjoy, but in the grand scheme of things are pretty pointless.

    Travel. I try to visit 1-2 new places in the UK every year (as well as return to the better ones we've already been to). Already planning the next 5 years worth of foreign holidays (California, Korea/Japan, Washington/Oregon, Jordan/Iceland, and the Mid West).

    Photography - although one day I'd like to take a decent photo

    Music - Currently working my way through the best albums of the 80s and 90s. Only 2000 left to go!

    Long distance running. Last year I ran a 100 mile race and won it, and qualified for the British Spartathlon team. I'm injured now though.
    Music, guitar and computers.

    The older I get, the angrier I become, I'm thinking about becoming a free consultant to companies who have crap web sites with links that don't work or provide wrong information or a professional complainer to the Advertising Standards Authority when companies lie or intentionally mislead on television advertising.
