Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / November 2004Brownie Points time?
Having just recovered from "I was out shopping with my mother and we saw .......... a suite on sale for £1800 !!!" How many brownie points would I gain if I agreed to the purchase. Would the decorating go on hold for at least another year ? Could I brazenly purchase that Dave Patrick Ultimate and a new Saito engine? Or am I just being delusional and SWMBO will get all her way? Incidentally the suite is a horrible colour and I have said so but do prefer an alternative colour, viewing again next Thursday!!! New suite means new curtains means new carpet means new decoration means no money or time left for Ultimates or Saito's etc. Unless - - - SWMBO agrees to you matching the £1800.00 spend on yourself (Ultimate, Saito etc etc), but I wouldn't have the guts to suggest that in my(?) house!!! Good Luck mate. Paul M (who has just finished decorating etc etc and hasn't got the money or strength to build a new Ultimate with Saito etc etc and God help me if I tread in any more Balsa Dust). > Having just recovered from "I was out shopping with my mother and we saw > .......... a suite on sale for £1800 !!!"

IME no brownie points at all. It will just be 'that was easy, and at least it didn't get spent on those stupid toy planes' I'd hang fire. This Xmas looks like being the retailers worst nightmare: Wait for the sales. Or look into Ebay or auction houses. Stuff going for a song . Sorry, but if you haven't figured it out yet, you never will! You can spend all but your last fiver on her and that last fiver will be set aside for her later. No Dave Patrick Ultimate. No Saito. Getting married means giving up the motorcycle, the fishing boat, the night out with the boys, model airplanes, etc. Unless she happens to like those things, too (fat chance of that!) -- Paul McIntosh http://www.rc-bearings.com > Having just recovered from "I was out shopping with my mother and we saw > .......... a suite on sale for £1800 !!!"

It merely becomes the new base point. > Would the decorating go on hold for at >least another year ? Silly boy; no! > Could I brazenly purchase that Dave Patrick Ultimate >and a new Saito engine? Ah ha, ha, ha, ha, ha... sorry.... > Or am I just being delusional and SWMBO will get all >her way? Just keep taking the pills.... >Incidentally the suite is a horrible colour and I have said so but do prefer >an alternative colour, viewing again next Thursday!!! Your judgement in these matters means nought, like ours!
