1. Aviculture, also making profit selling hand raised people loving birds.

2. Latin, I'd like to continue studying it and offer services for translation and composition.

3. Model military vehicles, such as aircraft, ships and tanks.

4. Train and railroad modeling, HO scale, along with scaled Romans conquering the iron horses.

5. Ancient coin collecting, pure awesomeness to own a piece of history which has lasted longer than most modern nations.

6. Electronics, cool to build and test circuits. Also would like to work with Class IV diode lasers that emit visible light.

7. Stargazing. It would be neat to have a powerful telescope and be able to see the surface of planets and shape of galaxies and nebulae.

8. Collecting swords and armor. Particularly Roman, but also Korean because my girlfriend likes Oriental weaponry.

9. Camping, because it is just cool to be outside surrounded by survival gear.

10. Conquering the universe, because it needs to be conquered.

-traveling, maybe take a slow journey from Lisbon to to Moscow. Would also like to visit China.
-learning a new language, maybe Russian or Swedish - though I like the Arab script so Arabic might be interesting too.
-painting; I already do this but would like to do it more, several hours a day for instance.
-hiking, camping maybe. England's too flat.
-cooking. I do the everyday stuff, but I'd like to cook more sophisticated things. Lack of money, energy and time keep me from doing it right now.
-growing some of my own food, I'd like to have a vegetable garden or such.
-re-learn machine shop and make metal things.

I'm sure there are others but that's what comes to mind.
