I dont get a lot of time to do pyro, but enjoy it when i do! this awsome contraption has had a complete rebuild from the chassis up and believe it or not the towing vehicle used to be a tractor (well it still is, but highly modified!! - we have sold that one and built a new one from scratch this year, hopefully pics will be o the site after the weekend (no one else has seen it yet cos we are late taking it out, so until it goes out, we dont post pics of it!!)

yeah, always ask a busy man and he will find the time (dunno how though!!)

:lol: Same here, though my "list" is Happy Hardcore, Scouce House, (some my know it as Bouncy) though they are a few kinds Scouce House, Scouce tends to be more vocal/Trance but still is accompanied (some of the time) by the 'Donk' sound, other are more "cheesy" with cheeky riffs. I do produce the odd Hard House track but not many.

When I'm not doing pyro, or day dreaming about pyro, I have a few hobbies. Lately, I've been pretty big into brewing my own beer and mead. I'm going to venture into making wine soon. I'm also going to be making some big delicious beers for when I graduate next year. They've been steadily getting better. I love working in the research lab. While not so much a hobby, I don't get paid and I do it out of love, so I guess it fits the bill. I also like chemistry in general. I've been synthesizing some exotic whistle catalysts for a few people I know. I used to paint a lot, but I've kind of gotten out of that unfortunately.

thats pretty cool mumbles, one of my brothers is the secretary of a home brew association in a major city over here, and one of my hobbys is distilling my own spirits, i made myself a 10lt stainless reflux still and have been rewarded imensly :P , + it gives me 90 odd % ethanol for star formulas, i've also been playing an acoustic guitar for about 27 years and have played to an audience of over 1000 on the back of a semi, at andamooka opal mining town in the north south australian desert on new years eve"99--2000" and also played at the birdsville pub, on the birdsville track far western queensland, the roxby downs hotel and a few other pubs,

Edit :- its condensed in the head ( reflux ) then condensed in the outlet pipe, i just conect it to my tap in the laundry..

but i had to move my washing mashine outside the back door,, ( That didn't go down very well ) ;)

Hi all, I had lots of hobbies till I got into pyro, now I aint got time for anything else but pyro. I eat, sleep, drive and work PYRO. Can,t get it out off my head, theres so much to think about.
My other hobbies are brewing and drinking beers and wines, air rifle shooting and hunting, cooking and eating whatever I kill ( rabbit pigeon, squirrel, rook etc) and the odd bit of walking stick carving/making.

I've been doing some outdoor photography recently- here is a link to my portfolio (contains a very small ammount of tasteful nudity ((a model, not me!)) )

OK, interest in fireworks to be resumed in the spring. It usually is. ;)

I've mentioned this in passing, so yeah- other than pyro, what else do you enjoy?

I enjoy watching boxing, I also enjoy studying and researching the paranormal or "Forteana" . As such I'm often at boxing matches, and I try to get invloved with (serious) paranormal research, such as trips to Chingle Hall ( Britain's most haunted house, now Borely Rectory has gone.)



Basicly, RC (all RC vehicles, if it has a controller, i'll drive it), Electronics/technology, BMXing and Trials motorbiking
