you know your cover is blown when...

Well my wife was talking to a colleague today in their common room during lunch. This colleague then blurts out the fact she saw an image on NBN last Friday and asked my wife if it was me who took the image. She said it was and then started to say that she had read all about me and the stuff I had - to my wife's horror. Ignorance is bliss but there is a IIS member out there who's wife works in the same school as mine and has now forever tainted me (well thats not too hard). Yes she is still talking to me............:whistle:

the world is getting to small. OK so who was it??? Come on fess up, has to be someone out there local to me.........:scared:

[[1ponders]]

:lol:

Ohhh Dear!!!

:lol:

[acropolite]

Geez that's rotten luck h0ughy, lucky she is still talking to you. You could always tell her all the gear's on loan from other IISers. :whistle:

[wavelandscott]

It is always easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission...

Good Luck!

[radu5er]

Heh! Sounds like the voice of experience to me! ;)

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Sorry Houghy but I just can't stop :lol:

The best laid plans of mice and men huh ?

[[1ponders]]

h0ughy, Sya says we have a spare room if your need it.....And one for your equipement too if you have any left :lol:

[Ric]

There's always the excuse that it's too late to send it back now. If your expelled to the doghouse then it's a good excuse for more imaging/observing.:D

[ballaratdragons]

"but dear, I have all this gear so I can put pics on TV, and one day get paid for them."

:lol:

[h0ughy]

well on a lighter note i fixed my motor stall on the g11. i used 15V instead of the 13.8 - worked also slowed slew to 500.

should have done that at duckadang - i had it there, the transformer and i should have tried it. it slews a 10" SCT and 14kg weights
and a few bits and pieces.


opps but i don't own a losmandy do I;):whistle::whistle:

[h0ughy]

[h0ughy]

[iceman]

haha the net is spreading h0ughy, it was bound to catch you one day ;)

[h0ughy]

But she payed no interest to me, now its the Spanish inquisition :lol::scared:

[RB]

You know what the Monty Python boys always say ......

" no-one expects the Spanish Inquisition"

Sorry Houghy couldn't sleep last night, still laughing mate ......:rofl:

[acropolite]

Yep, it's arrived h0ughy... just have to announce and unpack, you're a generous man...:rofl:

[cahullian]

Nothing to do with me Dave:D even though I work for the NSW DET. :POr is it??:eyepop:
He he he he he :shrug:

[wavelandscott]

YES!...actually that should all be in lower case type...yes...

It better represents my meekness...

We all know that some insects eat/kill their partner after reproduction...well let me just say that they have nothing on my wife when she is in a bad mood!

Besides the "beg for forgiveness defense" I also find that the "duck and cover" method works pretty well to...for those not familiar with it...

When questioned about something make your statement then "duck and cover" on the floor curling up in a ball on the floor and play dead...I find after a few minutes she becomes bored with my lack of reaction and I am able to go back to what I was doing before...

On a seperate note, whenever the phrase "Spanish Inquisition" comes up I can not help myself but to think of the Movie "History of World, part 1" and the musical version of said event...:thumbsup:

Good Luck!

[RB]

LOL Scott, stop it, I haven't stopped laughing since last night.
You guys are killing me !!!

At this rate my asthma's going to play up......and I don't have asthma.....:lol:

[xstream]

:rofl::lol::rofl::lol: Yes Dear, No Dear, Three bags full Dear! :rofl::lol::rofl:

[ving]

lock it all up least she goes on a rage and smashes everything :)

poor david :)

[h0ughy]

very bloody funny:sadeyes::sadeyes::sadeyes:

[acropolite]

John's right h0ughy, I remember seeing an old codger and his wife on TV, when asked the secret of their marriage, he said "say Yes Dear to everything":whistle:

[sheeny]

:lol:

I see the dilemma, HOughy. Looks like a classic case of naivety when it come to the fame of being a media personality in the astronomical field (i.e. a star!:D)

As you get more experienced at this, I'm sure you'll agree the correct approach was to deny it was your photograph on the tele... "Oh, yeah, that's Dave's... you know there's two of us in Newcastle with the same name??!!! What a coincidence! Gee, I wish I could take photos like him!!!":rofl:Problem solved!!!!

[h0ughy]

well there is another David Hough (yes god made a second one and placed him in the Hunter Valley):rofl: the reason I know this is that he also had the same service provider for the net many years ago and he couldn't use his name because I had gotten it already:whistle:.

the second point being she knows I image anything that moves - cameras everywhere:D

no way am I a star mate!!:help::scared:

[h0ughy]
