    Maybe nearlynew's wife has heard his 'inflation is theft' bit once too often, and didn't want to be accused of abetting inflation. So bought at pre-inflation prices. Sort of 1932 or something. :)

    I'd like to think that living with someone who had that carved on the bed would make you watch your spending. ;)

    Oh I know all that.

    She knows I'm drunk and has probably done it so I won't notice the !!!!!! load of expensive stuff that she's quickly tucked away before I got in.

    We're going out tomorrow night and when she puts on all her new gear she'll say.............

    "What this? .... I've had it for ages"

    Hmmm, perhaps you're lucky to have a wife and perhaps you should say, when she puts on all her new gear, "Darling you look absolutely gorgeous."

    It'll buy you time to work out a way of reclaiming your male control. :rotfl:
