Habit Forming?

I just had a holiday with my wife and discovered that the Fleet Air-Arm museum was near by. I got to spend 3 hours walking around planes and had a great time, but there was a price.
However, I paid for it by the end of that week I had been dragged in and out of so many shops I lost count. Loads of walks around gardens and places of interest including a Cathedral and remains of a Monastery. My legs where 3" shorter by the end of the week but it was worth it to see those planes close up.

I have models stashed everywhere, some need building others are in need of repair or full restoration. That's before you start on the rest that are fully air worthy. I have them in my attic and hung on the bedroom walls and stored at my mothers house. Yes its an addiction :eek::rolleyes: but what can you do when you seen another you like. I am like Emelda Marcos with shoes I love collecting them, you can never have enough. Or until my wife finally says I have enough anyway :LOL:.

And those Swallows just seem to breed variations of themselves.
Someone left an EDF laying about.

Yep, I know what you mean.
Flying competition stuff is even worse.
If she ever found out what those Ava’s and CF 2mtr E Gliders cost!!!
I had to have a break due to health reasons and sold the whole lot.

:cry: My deepest sympathy. If I had to give up my planes now, you might as well shoot me and put me out of my misery.

Sorry guy's I have to stop you there, you have lost prospective here. If your woman fly's planes too ! who is going to prepare your meals when you come in from flying or clean up your mess after you have finished building on the dinning room table :rolleyes:. She might start actually flying/crashing your planes or using your transmitters and gear :eek:
So no you want a woman with no interest in your hobby.
You want a domestic goddess with her own house on a large plot of land with a dedicated out-building/hanger, adjacent to the house for storing your precious models. Her only qualities must be: she agrees with everything you say and do (because she worships you), never answers back and loves housework.
Ah we can all dream of utopia :LOL:

I wonder what the wives "utopia" would be😂😂...
Tell you what for those of you who have wives ask them to describe their utopia, and then post it here ( obviously with their permission, as you don't want to risk your life);)

I can already tell you what my wife's utopia would be. A House that cleans itself or has maids to do that work and a cook, a garden that would befit a stately home, with gardeners to tend to the boring parts like weeding and digging etc holidays every week and married to a handsome man who wears suits 24/7, with a bottomless wallet for shopping spree's.
That's pretty close I reckon, we have been married nearly 16 years I know what she likes :rolleyes:
