What do you wish you did on a more regular basis?

I'd say read!

By the way I'll be asking questions every once in a while. We need to liven up the off topic board

Went fishing and played cricket.

I wish I could have more time doing absolutely nothing.

Life is hectic, between work, my jamming sessions, morocycle riding, my kids sport and school commitments I effectively have Saturdays if I am lucky to relax.

Travelled to nice places - last really good holiday was 3 years ago (Californian Pacific Coast Highway and Yosemite), and I can't see us having a similar type of holiday for a few years now given the recent birth of my daughter.

I would have to say travel more , family holidays are great and i wouldn't be without the kids but id love to travel just me and the wife suppose thats going to have to wait until the kids have grown up .

Hmm in terms of activities, I'd say play as many instruments as possible, would've helped me a great deal now.

Exercise and meditation! These two things are on my to-do-list which is itself on a “to-do-list”.

Geez, I have enough on my plate having to master the acoustic guitar.



Although playing the keyboard as well would be nice.

Is any of you married guys going to join me in saying the obvious one?




(watching football of course)

I solved that problem a long time ago. Gave the wife her own tv and PVR decoder, that way I can watch as much sport as I want, only problem is now to keep her from talking.

This will sound bizzare to many, but I wish I could work more.
I'm from Wigan and have been unemployed off and on for a few years now and there are simply no jobs around the NW, before any of you say, "BS", I've worked in factories, as a cleaner and helped out friends on a few occasions in capacities from installing solar panels, through decorating, gardening, cooking etc. and even volunteered in charity shops and local cleanups.
Last time at the Wigan job centre, the lady who saw me openly admitted that they'd had less than 50 new jobs in the previous month and over half were agency work, with well over 300 applicants for every one of them and it's the same problem throughout the region, don't get me wrong, half the people I see when I sign on clearly don't want a job of any description, but for those of us who do, there just isn't anything out there for us.

As I'm still young, there is time for this but I definitely want to see more of the country and of other countries as well.

Not the biggest fan of flying though so slight problem!

The train is your answer Mat! Get anywhere in Europe on one

I got all the way to Hong Kong by train. A fear of flying doesn't mean you can't see the world, it just means it takes a bit longer to get where you're going.

I wish i went out drinking more

Go cycling.
Fly in an aircraft.
Go horse riding.
Stop thinking so much about things.
Love.

Not necessarily in that order.

THIS!

I'm young too and this summer the least I'd like to do in terms of travelling is hop on the Eurostar

I wish i could spend more time riding my horses. I only get to do it on the weekends

I wish i had more time to post on here

Seriously i wish i could speed up my rehab for my back so that i could play with the kids more .

Travel. I'm desperate to travel, but it just isn't viable at the moment. Hoping to make up for that by having plenty of shorter holidays.

Show off!

To make better use of my time. Have loads of hobbies I enjoy doing but don't seem to get around to doing them very often as always seem to have things that need doing on weekends.I need to get my ass in gear and do more in the week after work to leave my weekends free.

Stop Worrying.

I doubt that i am the only one on here with Horses

We all know that you want to spend more time cycling around Amsterdam LOL

Not specifically Amsterdam eirebilly, just anywhere. It's not safe to do it around here though to be honest, unless you're an experienced cyclist with a high pain threashold.

Yeah but Holland is so flat and its easy to ride. I find Amsterdam to be deadly myself with all the crazy people, trams and Gibbo

My eldest son had the right idea. When he was very small he said "when I grow up I want to retire straight away."

Hey Corporalhumblebucket, even I was thinking the same as your son said but after the colpetion of school realized it’s not easy to retire straight away.

my wife!
