Morning All,

Just thought I would start a thread to find out what sort of hobbies and interests my fellow AAT-ers are interested in?

My top 5 pastimes are:

1. Bristol City FC
2. Photography
3. Aviation
4. Literature - especially travel writing
5. Guitar

Your turn!

    Mine are the four 'F's though I'm certainly not gonna write what they are... Nah, only kidding, I'm not really a male pig like that!

    My five are;

    1. Spending time with my children
    2. Playing badminton and beating my bosses
    3. Surfing the net and other messing around with computers
    4. Window shopping for gadgets with the occasional indulgence (latest is my new Samsung G600 mobile)
    5. Listening to my angry thrash music (but sometimes the occasional bit of mellow too...)
    6. Swearing like a 'fricking' trooper (bad I know...)
    7. Not being able to count

    I know, I was a bit taken aback when I saw that too!

    :lol:
    I work in Filton so I do the plane spotting quite regularly and I do get to Ashton Gate on the odd occasion!

    Excellent! I have a season ticket at BCFC and try and get to Lulsgate every few months - I only live about 7 miles away and go to Heathrow a couple of times per year too!

    Re:Interests outside of accountancy

    Have you seen the new A380 airbus? We have had it here a few times, awesome! The beluga is quite a sight as well.

    I was a season ticket holder for BCFC about 10 years ago. I also was a member of "CATS".

    I haven't seen it in the flesh - but know all about it - quite an awesome piece of machine it is too!

    I can't get over the way the Beluga looks - i'm so shallow! :D

    Sounds interesting enough. You wouldn't do them if you didn't find them interesting.

    That's pretty cool. Do you sell them or just do them for family/friends? 8)
