Use to play tournament paintball.
If you think golf is expensive, think again. Would love to still play but it’s one or the other. (I’m better at golf too)
Few of my old shirts.

Swim twice a week to help with fitness and Yoga once a week. Both help release endorphins
Something I've been interested for years but never really pursued is astronomy. Moved to Spain, great clear skies and a lot less light pollution. Next door neighbour has a scope, linked to cameras and laptop. After a late night watching the Persids meteor showers I finally bit the bullet and ordered a scope. Scheduled to arrive about 4pm, if the tracking is spot on. Probably a late night tonight.
The neighbour is into Deep Space Nebulas, and the photos are stunning. My interest at present is the moon and the near planets. You'd be amazed at what you can see with a decent pair of binoculars, Jupiter and several of its moons. Looking forward to scoping it.

In a similar vein I played airsoft for a few years. Was quite good fun but the kit could get expensive especially if you start down the mil sim route themed event type route even if you go replica. Had some great games and weekends away though but it got to the point where I just couldn't face crawling along on my belly in the mud any more playing soldiers.
It attracted a lot of Walter Mittys though which I didn't like

I used to play football, but kids and work stopped that years ago.
I'm really into my music, used to DJ at clubs and bars playing house/garage music but over the last few years that's developed into me running my own mobile disco company; weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, etc. Business is booming in this, my third year.
Aside from that, it's all about spending time with the family.

Same. I still dj, started as a House dj early 90's and continued into 00's but work dried up. Bit the bullet and starting playing crossover Soul, Funk, Disco, R'n'B etc in bars but never ventured to wedding's but that's where the money is. Still dj in a cool backroom bar playing House music once a month so that keeps my passion going.

Nice. I do get the occasional odd 'proper' gig as I would call it but not as much as I'd like, plus as much as I love it, I very rarely get paid for that.

Might not be what you want or even need but my mate runs an agency amd is looking for dj's in the MK area in bars like Revolution but it is playing crossover stuff. Maybe the occassional house gig too.

A bit of petty crime - nothing bad, just a bit of protection/intimidation.

And a new telescope has arrived. Its a little bit more than a tube on a stick. Motor driven, and with an automatic search function. Key in what you want to view, and the scope will move onto it. Once on it, it will automatically track it as the earth rotates. Capable of taking a decent DSLR camera, although I will be getting a USB camera.
Although I'll cut my teeth on the moon and planetary images, the aim is to move onto deep space photography. The images you may have seen of multicoloured nebula and galaxies are actually made up of lots of images stacked one on top of the other. At a single sighting all you will see is a few stars and a hazy cloud but by stacking multiple images the various gases will be seen in all their colourful glory.

Sounds impressive. I still remember the first time I saw Saturn - standing in the garden with my daughter on Christmas night with a very basic 'scope we had got her as a present. It was quite extraordinary. We genuinely had no idea what we were looking for, and then 'bam'.
