                Careful Si Ken may not be able to cook. There is a chance of premature death by starvation wives know about these things you know they feed (he he) on them.


                Not saying that they are devious but they are.

                  Perhaps she just means you have nearly taken over all the rooms but not quite, and what she actually wants is more model building? Maybe she is playing an elaborate double bluff on you?


                  Buy another one and see if that works out for you? If right, you will get another model to make, if wrong, you will still have another model and she will still be mad at you. Win win really

                          Work by stealth. Your mistake was to suddenly shock her. I have had success in gradually expanding my activities which allows her to move in my direction step by step.

                            My advice really get stuck into all your outstanding builds and get them all finished and refuse to do anything else whatsoever as it's making your wife so unhappy.Then once the slate is clean do something together as a couple...... Airfix do some really nice dogfight double sets for both of you to get your teeth into and I'm sure this suggestion of doing a nice kit together would go down a treat with the wife.Or do what I did migrate to the loft out of harms way and up there I do exactly as I like only trouble is she hasn't quite mastered tea carrying up a ladder yet but we are working on it and after a few burns to her hands and arms she is now showing great signs of improvement. Good luck cheers John

                              Ken there is a simple way out.


                              I had not realise that I had achieved it.


                              It really came naturally.


                              No thinking what so ever.


                              It was brilliant move just by accident.


                              The answer to all your problems Ken. Your nightmares are displaced by dreams.


                              Give over in perpetuity the TV REMOTE.


                              Laurie


                              PS Ken have we solved your issues. I mean there are some really well meant and far reaching salvations to your delicate situation by the distinguished psychiatric section of this noble and well meaning forum.


                              Actually I think Ian the Mod would be well advised to set up a Psycho Section. Perhaps it could be called the "Norman Bates Wing". Or the "Hitchcock she drove me to it in the pouring rain syndrome".
