Whizzie 38 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Alas, today was that fabled day, when I took a days annual leave, for the momentous occasion on which my wonderful & much better half (to be referred to herein as 'Our Doris') turned the BIG 40! So with my wallet trembling with fear, we set off to York, where, she enjoyed my bank balance! And that kind of set me to thinking about, what is possibly our greatest & most frequent (Tongue in cheek) dilemma: Shopping/shooting/Shopping/shooting/Time with the missis/Shopping/shooting/Decorating/Shopping/shooting??? Etc!!! Some days, you just need those hours in the woods & fields, but 'No pass' is granted...... You find yourself out there anyway....I,'ll bet there are some fabulous tales of creative fibs & close escapes, to have us laughing till sun rise! So come on boys, here's your opportunity to 'FESS UP', share your guilt & receive hunting absolution! Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,584 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I once had a partner who, only once, really gave me the ultimate ultimatum. "It's your rifles or me!" She wasn't so cock-sure when I said I'd help her pack! I will give my Helen anything she desires. But our relationship is not a contract where my shooting is a bargaining chip for permission to go out to the permission! My shooting was there long before her arrival and there it remains forever unto death. Burt she knows what a massively important area of my life this is and would never put a barrier in the way of it without a good reason, that I would see as reasonable anyway!

Whizzie 38 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Let her loose with my bank cards!? I might not even be afford to afford pellets when she got back & that just wouldn't do! I'd love to take her out there with me, but she smells like the cosmetics department in Debenhams & she has epilepsy, so giving her hold of the rifle (or anything else I hold with special affection) to bite on, isn't really an option! )))) Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Mine goes shopping, she buys HW100s, Super Tens, AA S200s, pellets, sights and she goes hunting sometimes too! Can't ask for more really, any other shopping I get dropped in the field on the way out, sometimes she even stops the car.... 2 Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Not really a going out story but I told the wife the rifle had to go away for 'essential servicing' .... Then sent it for camp dipping ! Haha I knew she would moan if I had told her straight. ATB Adam 1 Quote Link to post
