• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

R&R ?

R&R for me is weekends and not having to get up at 06.30 for work. If I reach 65 then I will still have to work part-time at least as my pension will just about cover my utility bills and council tax, so to eat I'll need to earn.

Napamule,

That's a good question, so I'm game. I love to travel internationally, and have had the opportunity to meet some of our SOH brethren in the process. I love riding roller coasters, even the insane ones. :mixedsmi: I love to fish, both brook / river and deep-sea fishing. Swimming is also something I do to relax and de-stress, but that is also to keep the circulation strong in my legs after my blood clots. I also recently took up flying a Cessna, and found the experience thrilling, wondrous, and spiritual.

Can't say I'm much of a hunter though, I've never owned or fired a gun.

I read and meditate, as well as help my neighbor mechanic work on cars he's restoring for himself. He pays me in beer and the occasional ride, or repairs for our cars when needed at cost or a discount. As a teacher, I find that I have to build in a little "me" time when I can, it's one of those jobs that going full throttle for excessive periods can burn you out so bad you leave the profession.

In all honesty, having a job where you work 39 weeks a year, though admittedly just as much off the clock as on, does allow me to enjoy my hobbies, including simming, a good deal, and I readily admit that.
