I know we all work long hours etc - but what do we all do outside of our working lives?

I collect and show antique engines...some call me old before my time but I don’t care!

Here’s a short clip of my favourite engine ticking over - a 1915 Crossley G110 single cylinder engine running on propane (used to run on town gas back in the day) I can’t see any engines of today running so well at 103 years old!

It has a bore of 5” and a stroke of 11” bringing the cubic capacity to nigh-on 3.4 litres in a single cylinder.....but it starts reliably with a spin of the flywheel. I’ve got four other engines, I’ll find some video of them running too.

Motorbikes (particularly Triumph), going to gigs or Northern Soul nights, and collecting Playmobil.... some of us never grow up!

drinking, unsociably. Easily do a bottle of port on a school night and regularly do. Occasionally drink socially but always ends up a bender so try to avoid the trauma.

Keeping the wife happy i.e whatever she wants. Quite like not having to think so that works out OK.

Used to be a professionally hydroponicist but got caught. Really miss building my own rigs etc. Might go back to it and grow chillies or something. I do like curry.

Would like to get back into physical training but I'm all or nothing and 60 hours a week on my business doesn't allow a full training schedule so sod it.
