Do you not have freinds?
Go make some.
Do some volunteer work, go down the pub, go see some bands. Meet people. There aint a lot you can do to entertain yourself alone except play with yourself, and that gets boring.
Homebrewing is a good hobby, I second that, even though I'm hung over as hell today.

I have a great idea! Make one of these:
Man of Honour
That aways helps.

Read a book.
Go to the gym.
Get a job (unless you already have one).
Buy a new computer game for the winter should you get withdrawal symptoms.
Take up cookery. Seriously, you'll love it. Cold winter days spent in the warm kitchen with all that amazing food! It's a hobby you don't have to do every day, and it's one on which you can spend as much or as little time as you require.
Get into wine. Everyone should be anyway, but seeing as you're now cooking, you need to do some food matching. So naturally an interest in wine goes hand in hand with that in food. Attend tastings and events too: you'll meet new people and drink (as much as possible) nice wine.
Also, if you are going to cook you should take note from the late Keith Floyd (RIP
): always have a bottle on the go while you're cooking. A glass of wine for the chef. It's glorious.
I could spend days in a trance in the kitchen with bottles of claret, enjoying my cooking and wine. In conjunction with this you could get into a new area of music to listen to whilst you cook. Also you could get into gardening and growing things (see chilli thread for instance) and then use them in your kitchen. You could go wild with this: from basil plants to guinea fowl... who knows?
Enjoy your new civilized and meaningful life.

No offence meant but I kind of get the impression that you've never wanted for anything in your life, someone (parents?) have handed you everything. You have a track car, live rent free in one of dads houses, no mortgage, considering building a house on land given to you, etc etc etc. You've never had to strive for something and thus everything you have feels worthless.
Seriously go volunteer some time somewhere, help with a soup run or a food cabin for the homeless. It will change your entire perspective.

To some extent that's true LOAM, but to say parents have handed me everything is, I feel shy of the mark.
I was never coaxed into anything, never encouraged to do anything.
I was split up from my families other younger members and sent to comprehensive school while they went to the Grammar school.
I think I was more of a hindrance than anything else. No one was ever there to help with homework, no one ever paid for school trips or evening activities that would have seen me grow up "in the community" or have world culture painted before me. Hell, come to think of it, I can't remember ever being taken anywhere "for me" like a theme park or some other family based thing, not even to the local park for a kick around....
Instead I was told to get up early and help with the farm chores..
The only thing I have gained from that I think, is a good work ethic.
God forbid if I wanted to do something else with my life..
So I had to make a few mistakes along the way and fair enough to my Uncle, he's the one who has stepped in to help me out a few times.
Edit* the only recollection I do have is Dad (having split up) collecting me on Sunday mornings and taking me swimming at the local pool.
From that I gained a love of water and hence the scuba diving later on.
So many things I could have done and been fired up with enthusiasm for if only I'd been given the opportunity, but it feels like I was just too much trouble!
Have a guess how that feels!
Urgh, that's a bit deep for a Sunday afternoon!
Coming back to the land thing, I doubt it would be free, I wasn't implying it would be, as nice as that would be, but I'd hope being family it would have been a good deal if it were sold to me as Agricultural rather than building land instead.

I recently took up skiing on the insistence of the lass and its really fun. It means a 90min drive to the slope but once every other week it is always loads of fun (even though I am still in the stage of falling over all the time
)If nothing else works why not get yourself down the pub with the lass or your mates? If im getting sick of the PC and know that I am wasting my day its what I do.
You forgot the first rule.
