Wife has Brain Surgery in Bid for obtaining an Observatory



Well I did put my youngest up to the task and he went forth with vigour . That was his idea too, all I said was put the idea in mummy's head for daddy to have an observatory.........

hmm, i'm so glad i'm single but then, i do have some male friends that will do the hard, heavy work for me...just need to find a guy that dont mind me being out late at night...that sounds familar..oh at least i wont be at the pub...lol
actually thats one you guys can use.."i wasnt at the pub at least"...
or you could go say that you'll act like one of the boys and go get drunk everynight for a week...that is all it would take for me to get peeved...
then astronomy wont look so bad...

"... put the idea in Mummy's head.."

Kids can be so literal. They're the funniest.

I like your thinking Dave.

I say if you fail try again.....failure is not an option.

Having an observatory will enable you to use your equipment a lot more then if you didn't.....The task of setting up all your gear every time you want to have a go is a real put off.....(well it is to me)

Try the chain saw next time.....I'm sure it will go deeper then a plastic hand saw....hehe

Tell her that the space that the observatory takes will mean less lawn that she has to mow

Al, you know my missus, I havent a hope in hell, actually hell is a better place in comparison. We keep trading stuff saying its yours or someone elses but i don't think I can pass a observatory off as just borrowing yours
