John in Hull,

You may regard yourself as a "newbie", but, you're inspiring some thought provoking threads mate! Take your camera with you on delivery runs - somehow I think you could record some wonderful Hull "Folk History" from 2001.

Photography used to be a hobby - Peg - where did you get your Spotmatic from? My Pentax S1 (1960) is getting tired and needs an upgrade. I even took snapshots of a few doors decades back. RichM - about 10 years back there was a neat poster of doors in Wellington (NZ) - don't think I'll have much luck, but will try to track it down.

JiH, Murray will probably have a different definition of "syntax", but I reckon it's a Government inspired rake-off on houses of ill-repute...

Sings...

Me mother's a bawdy house keeper,
Me father sells illicit gin

Falls over in drunken stupor....

Anyway.... Hobbies... Yeah... #1 is

Living - never been paid for it yet.

Others indulged in, over the last half-century, would include all those mentioned above, apart from Belly Dancing - not a pretty sight, in my case. Mind you, I could do a damned good Zorba's Dance - here's a toast to Anthony Quinn ..;)

Ummm....

Think I've had a couple of other "Hobbies" - like woodwork - which reminds me of "Hobbies" fretsaws and magazine. Jigsaw Puzzles and... Aaarrrgghh...

I'll shut up

Sam
