Thats a great looking fish tank.
I Run a cricket club, play hockey, Shoot, Photography, Ski, Golf, Waterski when I have the time to take the boat out.
Most of that takes a back burner though as this takes most of my time!

I keep a reef tank too ... albeit on a smaller scale than yours :o

I do a bit of boating too ...

Yeah , if i'm honest it's beginning to outgrow the tank ....

Luckily , i have a large new one in the garage :o , but as i'm sure you know what it's like , i'm dreading the swap-over and setup !

The toadstool ( sarcophyton ) in the front is about 14 inches across , it grew from a frag about 1/2 an inch round !

I'm loving your shoal of anthias !!

What's the big black fish just turning on the left ?

I'd like to be into hi-fi !! now that can become seriously expensive .

Hi-fi is like a work of art , so beautiful , some looks as good as it sounds ...

I have a modest seperates set-up , but cost is my limiting factor. :o
 
Well ...

We have 6 Border Collies, so are competing at Agility shows most weekends and training two nights a week. I also instruct and judge, and teach/examine instructors and instruct/examine/assess judges! I'm the current Chairman of the national body that started the sport off in the late 70s / early 80s.

(Last summer, before no. 6 arrived)

Mrs BTB has competed in Agility at Crufts twice, I'm judging there in 2012 (appointment booked in 2007!).

Been into photography for a very long time. Still a keen snapper.

Interested in planes/flying for a very long time. Flown r/c models since the 70s, used to compete a fair bit till the dogs took over! Still a registered instructor and examiner for the national body, mostly fly lightweight electric planes & helis now

Combined the photography and r/c to do a little commercial aerial photography in the 80s

Well, they won't let me advertise a 15% discount on self catering holidays because it is "nothing to do with MB"

:wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:
 
Apart from cars...motorbikes, anything with an engine basically. Got 1 project bike on the go, and another inbound.

Shooting, but that's taken a back seat lately due to time constraints. Barely finding able to keep up the spare time tech stuff either, it's taking me 2-3 weeks to find enough time to repair kit I could previously turn out in 2-3 days.

Oh, and sorting the house out. Thankfully, I have a low-maintenance cat.
 
Hobbies would be music (playing and listening), skiing (just starting again after a back injury), and decent malts...

Transparency is important.

If MBCLUB PEEPS are watching, please consider non MB Club services, as we are all fanatic members of mercedes, but does that mean we have to be a supplier or involved in that specific supply chain.

I dont think so, we have a diverse back ground of opportunities and skills, that we as trusted members of the forum should be allowed to offer our services for a strong discount to members, not a 5% crappy one, but 15% + where we offer a genuine huge discount for our fourm friends..
