Just " how" do they know ?

Jimbo,

That's right blame me ......by the way ....I have a couple more heading up to your front door ......of course Mrs Jimbo will believe me when I say I know nothing about them ....

Paul,

That's brilliant but I also leave " catalogues" out ......packed full of " models" ......but that's another story!

I truly wish there was a really simple answer to this conundrum. However, it seems to be my unfortunate timing, that necessitates me to adorn a 'Hard Hat', and find a convenient 'Bunker'. . Oh! the 'Ear-Bashing', is beyond words. x 12.

Although in truth, (ish), I am done with buying! so this is no longer a concern for me.

Kevin you should really go to Jim's place one day and pick up all "your" parcels that have been delivered there.

I've just had a startling revelation......... The worlds greatest ever Tactician, Sun Tzu, was just a frustrated modeller trying to get his purchases past his missus.................... All those years ago??????????

As Jim also more or less stated, you can grease the door, by talking to SWMBO about "friends" in the hobby and what horrible spouses they have and how they deny their men the fun of the hobby. Like going to shows, buying kit etc.

You can also spice it up with one or two imageniary friends that actually divorces their wives. With the wives in question ending up miserable.

The trouble is Janne, if you bring up the morality play of an imaginary friend who divorced his wife because she spoiled his modelling habits, she might counter with the hunky new adonis in the office who's been ever so attentive and thinks she ought to have more fun than that boring old husband of hers is giving her, and had she considered trading him in for a newer, less creaky model?

You've always got to be cautious. For example I said to the missus last week that if she didn't cut me some slack I'd consider moving to a wee apartment I've had my eye on.
Her reply ........ tears of laughter and those 4 magic words "good luck with that"

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Yeah, I see that you have been letting it slide for far too many years. First thing is to learn how to lie cautially, through your teeth and on instinct.

I love when my spouse is out with her friends and hear them bitching about their men. It makes her apreciate what shes got, even if its not much.

Just put on some music and sing along aloud and say that you really love that song.

I really like happy endings!

But if he had learned to print figures from the printer instead of a gun, the hazzle with the postman and deliverys wouldnt be a problem?

There was an article on this mornings news that the greatest cause of arguments among middle aged couples was, wait for it........, Money. I didn't know there were so many of us buying figures ? (Military Modelling, eat your heart out, WE are winning!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Kev, I know it's a strange notion to an idle wastrel like yourself, bear with me, I won't use long words m'dear boy
'Work' is a place I visit a few days a week mate, the best bacon butties in the northwest are in the caff at the building entrance, inside I have a swivelly high back leather chair to sleep in and acess to free wi-fi . Surrounded by multi story office blocks full of beautiful creatures to chat to at lunch and I stay there till they pay me and go home.
That is work..... What I does while you are ferreting in jimbo's cupboards for bisciuts or playing hide and seek with the models he's hiding for you from the fragrant carol.

I really like happy endings!

Janne if that was gary , it would still have a similar ending...
