Chris Wilson Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I grow carnivorous plants, you know venus flytraps (only rare varieties mind) american pitchers, tropical pitchers, sundews. They divide during summer which I then separate and sell on ebay. Made 750 quid last year from this. I've also grown them through tissue culture. Wow, that's a different hobby, and something i once tried to get into, via cacti and succulents. Sad to some, but true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to cloud heights / massive dives & low level passes & quarter mile + circuit's, flights last around 3mins of pure high speed adrenaline rush & massive buzz Then fly round sky till engine cuts & no matter where it is in the sky landings always within 5 metre radius from where I stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Love that Jek-ski Lui. Been tempted to buy one in the UK for ages but to be honest I can't see how much use I'd get out of it here!

Theres nothing that quite like slamming into a wave a 60mph on a jet-ski. It reminds me of something... Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 This thread might end up costing me a lot of money! Called the local airport this morning, and a 1 hour flying lesson is about £140 so I'm going to book that when I'm back from holiday. After that (assuming I like it) cost of license seems to vary. When I looked a month or two back, I found intensive courses (Scotland) for £4.5k - but I couldn't find that when I searched today. Also, the lady I spoke to at the local airport said that intensive courses didn't make much sense in the UK because you couldn't rely on good weather. I'm not sure if I mis-heard her, but I'm sure she said it would cost about £9.5K. From the search I did this morning, it looks like a realistic figure is probably somewhere around the £6K mark. So if I wanted to complete a license within 12 months, I suppose it's roughly £500 per month. Let's hope I don't enjoy the one hour flight!

MrDriver Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I had horses when I was a student, and I wasn't spoilt?? Because all the money was spent on the horses Well to go back ontopic, I do some photography, have a supra as weekend car (my best hobby ever). 3d grafics were my hobby but now it's my fulltime job so I tend to do less 3d at home. - Peter - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
