No Ken seriously she is a Cadburys woman of the world, a glass and a half and she is comfortably numb, 2 glasses and she is smashed. Then sleeps.

we enjoy our nightly glass of wine with dinner, no more no less.thats it. too much makes her ill, and that is not a pretty sight, for me or the kids. And never play ABBA after the glass and a half either

It was a tough decision on the timing, yes they are close. But you are Qld's favourite son, and you do have to make an appearance. We may try and snag you as astrophoto judge in future years. But come down this way soon.

Re your second comment - ooohhh you do like living dangerously.

Cheers Petra

Well to quote a famous cartoon character, " I am a donkey (read Astronomer) on the edge!!!"

HOughy, this is an absolute cracker of a thread, boy you can get yourself in trouble.

Flowers are good too.

ie one bunch of roses, followed by an astro camp invite left "accidently" on the kitchen table.

A few weeks later, a nice dinner for two, with kids bundled off to the grand parents, followed the next morning conversation turning to an "apparent" internal debate you are having re going to "said camp"

the winner is a 3 weeks before the camp, send lovely wife out for a shopping trip with her friends, "don't worry about a thing, love" kids bathed, dinner cooked and house clean upon her giggly arrival home.

astro camp in the BAG!!!!

David,
Before said trip to Dubbo, hire out "The Dish". You never know, She may even suggest visiting it herself.
Good luck.

Its only the depth that varies, just waiting for the tide to go out

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #32 17-08-2006, 12:03 PM

How about locking her and the kids up at Dubbo Gaol then nipping off to the Radio Telescope?

Don't forget my motto..."It is always easier to beg for forgiveness afterwards than to ask for permission beforehand"...

I also remind my wife that a crime of passion/anger is still a crime...so far I've been able to stay alive...
