Horse riding - dressage if I'm competing but I don't do much of that any more so mainly its just long hacks out on my old mare.
Veg gardening - took this up a few years ago as a move towards downsizing and got hooked.

Fortunately hobby #1 means there's always plenty of fertilizer around to power hobby #2 ;)
 
Computers, tech, websites, etc.
Cars (Driving, working on, etc)
Movies (proper film buff)
Light Gaming (phone games, android games etc, nothing too serious)
Sleeping
 
Brewing, fishing (sea course fly), gardening, cooking.
Used to go shooting until the kids came along so sold the gun, kids and guns don't mix :nono:
Ohh, and TV/films with a good pint ;)
 
Brewing, Mixing Music, some fishing, surfing whenever I can, the occasional round of golf.
 
Motorbiking, cooking, enjoy a good movie.

A lot of tech stuff but that mainly feeds into my job.

I grow chillies but that's more of a habit than a hobby, probably why I started brewing, too!

.... and when I can be arsed, I drag myself to the pool to swim a couple of miles..

I used to do at least a kilometre a day, often a mile, occasionally more - just weekdays. Kinda miss it. I know my waistline and muscletone do!
 
I have a real passion for carp fishing and pike fishing come winter.

I also enjoy:

Working out in the gym
Playing squash
Reading
Watching films

My next hobby to move on to will be playing the guitar, maybe hop growing.

Alot of my time at the moment has been taken up with DIY on my new home
 
Photography and Travel are my two biggest passions I guess. Recently back from an eight month trip around Asia, Australasia and India which was simply outstanding. Im a huge ice hockey fan and regularly watch the local team as well as daily watching NHL hockey. Also enjoy Formula One and the new season cannot start soon enough. I'll hopefully get to a race or two this year but it will be Europe this time rather than in Oz and Singapore.

Got my bets sorted so I profit if the championship goes to any of Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, Button, Webber, Raikonnen, Perez.
Forgot to mention in my list of hobbies - gambling (strictly smalltime, the rent money is safe). Mostly poker and the odd bet on other stuff.
 
football- Partick Thistle die hard
brewing - IPA and APA's
fishing - Trout, Pike, bit of Salmon fishing
fair weather golfer - Im a member up in Lochgoilhead in Argyll where my caravan is, not been up in ages due to Thistle's good form though.

I forgot poker from my list aswell. I Play in the local casino fairly regularly but not quite as much these days as the quality of games has dropped.

I'll hold back on the betting until Melbourne before Qually. As this car is really an evolution of last years, its hard to see how RBR wont be there, or there abouts. On the plus side, most teams look like they have taken a large leap forward and anticipate a tighter battle up front. Last year was on hell of a season though, best in recent memory for me,

I used to wait until a couple of races in, but lately it's clear not so many drivers have a real shot at it, and I was able to get all the ones I thought had a chance into an underround book on Betfair so I thought I might as well. Hoping the odds will move enough to just close the position.
 
Brewing
Collecting and using straight razors
Keeping marine fish (just started this one)
Gardening

All in all each hobby is leaving me skint!
 
I'm a fantastic procrastinator, when I'm not doing that I like reading, cooking, getting out on my pushbike, walking, playing guitar really badly. Love being out and about in nature, my first degree was in Environmental Biology, but I don't get out nearly as much as I'd like, probably too much procrastinating!
 
Greenhouse (heated), 2 allotments, making wooden furniture, wood turning, engineering, welding, currently into repairing / refurbishing ride on lawn mowers, car mechanics, following F1, brewing the perfect pint :D
