Wife comments

[Guest]

As a lot of us have partners/wives, I thought it appropriate that we note their comments on our true love/hobby....

You know, those little side comments or full blown statements that make you think "sheesh, i work all day/night to keep the roof over our heads and you begrudge the couple/ten/twenty quid/dollar a week i spend on models"

I shall list below your favourites in order of posting.

1. "Not another bloody/bloomin'/******g/ model!"

2. "all you do is sit in your room 'playing' models" - RJ Wood

3. "i bet you spend most of your money on your stupid models" (not ALL of it no dear) lol -RJ Wood

4. "Why dont you finish one before you start another, that way you only need to buy one at a time" - RJ Wood

5. "UM, Where is that one going to go again"? JSPITZA

6. On submarines - "Why dont you tie your wallet to a house brick and throw it in the lake...as it would be easier for all concerned !" - New to trains

7. "Haven't you got enough of them yet?" - Bunkerbarge

8. "___________________________________ " - GEEDUBBYA

9. "why don't you model yourself a new wife while your up there....!!" - D SAmuel

10. "Erm, you have all these plans, where are you going to put them?" Rawfodog

i remember the wife in a state of despair as i struggled to get my submersible ballasted correctly so dives were fully controlled and level- she once accompanied me to a show where i bought levellers and such like....( i did spend a packet that day) on the way home she suggested i just tie my wallet to a house brick and throw it in the lake...as it would be easier for all concerned !

they'll never fully understand !

"To me, weddings and funerals are pretty much the same....sad music, lots of crying, people overdressed and in both cases, someones life is over". :grinball2:

Might not make our paper wedding aniversary

It may be just be me, but I'm sure that there's a "cardmodeling" joke that can/could be made in there??

[Guest]

There are some real crackers here, I wonder if John could organise these into some kind of vote...then we can all vote on the most used or our favourites!

Only jsut got back in to modeling, and it's the same as when I was racing, she doesn't like going near the model shop cos' I'll be gone for hours. But now that I'm still only on my first (due to work, college and now man flu) and I'm getting the old comments and a few new ones.

"Erm, you have all these plans, where are you going to put them?"

"You havn't finished that bloody tank yet, you'r not buying another one"

And one this morning

Her: "You have a cold"

You: "It's man flu"

Her "Man flu then, but just cos' your off work sick doesn't mean you can play with an air brush. Now get back in bed"

But she is going to work soon and im already looking for newspaper to put down. :shhhh:

Three simple rules for a happy modelling life...

1) Don't get married but live with someone.

2) Find your partner at a local model club. I did and never looked back.

3) isn't so much a rule but a fact...you are never stuck for a present if you both model

“No, she’s real. Don’t be a plank!”

Here's another couple:

1) So what does that bit do?

2) Sorry I think I just broke it.

3) Your models look a lot better now that I've dusted them.

4) What's the point of a submarine when you can't see it underwater?

and of course standard answer:

"No love, I'm not on my second childhood, I haven't finished with my first one yet!"
