Like ruthless, I don't have any other money-making hobbies but I do play in a women's ice hockey team. Just bought me some new skates:

Been skating for about 4-5 years now.
 
Pretty big into photography and djing, got a canon 600d with a few lenses and some point and shoots i use for travelling, and 2 reloop rmp 3s and an iQ2+ mixer for djing with audio technica m50 headphones and I'm currently speakerless (:[)

Why must I have such expensive hobbies

Camera brings in a bit of cash from time to time especially now that I'm getting into some videography. Djing not so much as it's still pretty much just bedroom djing for me and the only time I was out with the gear was for a friends party so I got free drinks all night instead of getting paid ;D

Play some rugby for school too but its just to keep my obesity under control

You're not alone...

Well I plan to get some reptiles and start researching past what I currently know. Get a corn snake possibly a monitor (lizard) or two as well. Not really a hobby, more of a £££ drainer.

Pokemon cards are the bomb. I had that super rare one that was worth a fortune i think it was a charizard of some sort and my wee bro traded it for a fake printed at home mew. I could have killed him

Right on!

I'm a sports and fitness nut - when I'm not spending a weekend with the gf I'll probably be windsurfing (and I spend more on that than I do on my pc!).
 
Used to ride BMX park/dirt/street and mountain biking, but I quit BMXing some time ago now.
 
Most of my free time is spent playing with PCs, but apart from that I'm into photography, I've got a canon 60D, and between me and my girlfriend we have a decent selection of lenses. Building PCs is a decent hobby for me, but it does mean I'm the first line tech support for my family, and second line for my girlfriends family.
