What other hobbies

[Markmark.123]

[QUOTE=Grant85;1090232]I used to own a rc truggy but as idelup95 says above, it was boring as hell. Unless there are a few of you and you race then that's fair enough.

But my other main hobbies are Thai Boxing and natural bodybuilding, Jui Jitsu. I Thai boxed on a high competitive level and have trained with some of the Worlds champions who are now some of my good friends. I first got into martial arts at 9 years old and have always done some type of MA over the last 20+ years. I'm a big outdoors person from being an Ex Royal Marine, so I do a lot of rock climbing and bouldering also. But there's just not enough time in the day to try fit everything in. That's why RC Helis have taken a back seat over the past few years as I was competive fighting in Muay Thai over the past 4 years.
I also like to tinker with electrics and electronics as I'm a qualified electrician but this is not my main job.

It's good Mark, and you don't have to do it for competive reasons, you can do it for fitness and fun. And any martial arts are good for the mind aswell as the body. You should give it a try. If you lived closer I would do some lessons for you.
I've had some time off it though as I have an MRI on my back tomorrow. And you can't beat the steam room, especially when you go to the Virgin clubs ;) full of lasses in there! Never get much done lol! Eyes get the most workout ha!

I'm hoping to keep discus next...absolutely gorgeous fish and i'm looking to keep them in a bit of an odd arrangement but hopefully if i get it to look how i see it in my head it should be quite effective...i hope
Would love to breed discus one day as well! Currently attempting to breed apistogramma bitaeniata
60 tanks is just a few :P bet that was a lot of work!!!

I keep tropical fish too, I started 4 years ago with a 30L BiOrb (horrendous for keeping fish!) then sold that after a year and bought a 125L tank which I've had great success with. I plan to size up again to 180L once I move, could do with a bit more space but not go too crazy.


I also do a bit of mountain Biking, nothing too adventurous or fancy but I enjoy it, beats going to the gym that's for sure!

This is my "off the shelf" 29er :) (Which is collecting dust just like my helis! Damn weather)
