Art, particularly drawing.
I won a competition run by the Evening Standard when I was about 17, the only thing I ever entered.
I've hardly drawn anything since my early twenties. Just the odd characatures on birthday cards, genitalia scribbled on walls, that kind of thing.Comment

I was an ace chess player at school.
But then at uni I encountered players who could defend, wait for a slip then pick me off. I lost interest when I realised I wasn't invincible.Comment

Chess, pool & karate. I don't do them anymore.

Got to Grade 5 on the Viola. I was a first violin in the school orchestra when the school acquired two violas and me and another musician were told to transfer over because we had the longest arms in the string section. A mixed blessing, there's very little written for viola and ensemble parts tend to be an afterthought (we were always the ones going rest-cha-cha rest-cha-cha in the waltzes) On the other hand, there is permanent shortage of viola players and I got into the local combined schools orchestra, for which Grade 8 was the usual minimum, which was an experience….
Nowadays, a bit of MIDI composition and air bass guitar playing ….My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

Fourier surfaces. I had a complete understanding of them when I did the end of semester assignment. Couldn't remember how to do them at all when studying for the exam four months later. I suppose I should have gone to my tutor at that point, but I was young and stupid.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
