Why should a wife be upset by you spending your money??

How much does she waste on make up, shoes etc. 

I would tell her to keep her nose out or get rid of

 

 

Bold words 🤣

That’s sounds perfect, I normally go out on New Year’s Eve and enjoy the peace. There is a great Bill Shankley quote that goes something like this:

Interviewer: “Bill, is it true that you took your wife to see Rochdale play last week as an anniversary present?”

Shankley: “No, that’s absolute rubbish. Of course I wouldn’t have taken her as an anniversary present. Do you really think I would have got married during the season?”

Interviewer: ...

Shankley: “Of course I wouldn’t. It was her birthday, and anyway it wasn’t Rochdale, it was Rochdale Reserves.” 

Looks great fun 👍👍👍

We actually got married on 1st. March. 
Wife’s idea was to marry on 1st of a month so it would be easy to remember. 
1st Jan. was imminent and she knew I would likely be too busy on 1st. Feb (last day of game season) so 1st. March it was.

No wonder divorce is so common. 
Some real loving relationships with some of you.

As instructed, out checking traps and just rang in to say we had one in the Cherry Tree trap.

Seems a very practical solution. March is always quiet for me apart from Spring Counts and Pointing Tests.

I don't think that would be the perfect solution in our household and I am all for keeping perfect harmony , I agree it's not always perfect but it is no good pouring petrol on a fire to try and put it out , we both worked hard to pay for our house and everything that is in it and we both retired within a few months of each other , yes I have been shooting for just over 60 years and still do a lot , or as much as my body allow me to do , at one time I would fiddle about after tea and the odd weekend doing some building work to cover my half gun in a working class game shoot and to pay my subs in my local W A , neither of us smoke or drink and we have got a certain amount of money each that we can please ourselves what we do with it and neither of us interfere what we spend our own money on , although we make sure that all the household bills are paid and they have priority.

Our Golden Wedding is just around the corner and I certainly wouldn't think of dumping her if she spent a few bob on clothes ect , she is entitled to that as the same as what little I spend on shooting .

Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year

Amen 👍

**** **** **** ... I knew I preferred Air Arms! I asked the shop to fill it to 190bar to save my pumping it up at night and waking half the house... just had one last check over before wrapping in the box (that it is unloaded, not cocked, safety is on etc) and spotted that she’s empty. Must have a leak. Going to be a disastrous start having such an expensive paperweight on Christmas Day 🙈

Is it empty though?

Have you tried dry firing it? Sometimes the gauge is nipped up too tightly,  you undo it a small amount and the needle jumps up.

And this thread has jumped around some.

[WalkedUp]

Yes it is empty, it was showing charge last night but none today. I dry fired it once yesterday, seemed full power. I dry fired it again just now and barely anything. 

Feeling rather deflated ... if you excuse the pun 🤣

Unlucky,  just hope it's raining till you can back to the shop 🤣

[Ultrastu]

That's a shame   but it will be a relatively easy fix and not a reflection on the guns quality .just a  oring that hasn't sat correctly  or got a small nicking it .should be pretty easy to find and cure .for either the gun Smith or yourself  if it came with any spare orings ? 

[Rim Fire]

As the old saying go Happy wife Happy life 🤗

My wife was the same and stole £45,000 in benefits in my name , I was arrested, locked up , she moved her affair in my house while I was in the cell in a single night . 
totally innocent and proved it with them being thrown out the police . I met several greedy lady’s but after 2 years single I met my mrs and she’s nothing like my wife . Don’t be bitter tho 👍. Hate breeds hate 👍😎. 
we share the bills but I just feel it’s polite to ask each other before we spend .

Agree, but sometimes it is better to seek forgiveness than ask for permission 🤣

Update, I borrowed an adapter from my BiL this morning (annoyingly my hose wasn’t compatible, I expected this could be the case hence pre-charging). It is a slow leak so we were able to set it up and my middle son was delighted as he got on very well with the rifle. Tin cans, chalk targets, and balloons fell quick victims. His face was a picture and made the brief disharmony well worthwhile. Thank you to the kind PM offers of assistance from PW members too, really appreciate it. Especially knowing how busy everyone is already today. We waited for a squirrel but none was present. A young lad with a Peregrine happened to walk past through the field so I ran out and asked him to show the boys the bird. He was lovely and kindly obliged. As he was dogless I offered to work my dog with the boys to point game (dry run due to Christmas and Sunday). We joined him for an impromptu Christmas Day Hunt. Fantastic. Dog produced a pair of mallard, two pheasant from point and a woodcock. Brilliant blue sky and warm sunshine. He put on a display with the bird getting to 500ft and tearing past us at eye level for the lure. The dog watched intently too. Very memorable Christmas. 

Gun is back on empty, I’m going to have arms like a gorilla by the New Year 🤣

A Christmas you will all remember! Possessions may come and go - memories for you and family will stay with you for many years !

season’s greetings from the Agriv8 clan.

[WalkedUp]

Thanks @Mice! , completely agree @Agriv8 👍

[Mice!]

@WalkedUp worth mentioning that anytime a thread comes up on sending guns back to BSA for a repair under warranty they can take weeks, which is far from ideal,  hopefully yours can be sorted in house, otherwise I'd be prepared to ask for a straight swap.

I’m in big trouble with my wife, I sold my ShotKam to fund a mini air rifle for my sons for Christmas. I went to Cheshire Gunroom to pick up the Snowpeak PP750 (pistol with extendable stock that they can use as a rifle). Feeling it in the flesh I just didn’t love it. Didn’t gel with the Kral NP-03 either. I was resigned to leaving  empty handed when the salesman suggested looking at the BSA JSR Ultra. What a beautiful miniature gun, I was instantly smitten.

My wife is livid with me being so irresponsible with money. Surely the joy I’ll get from seeing them knock down squirrels and magpies is surely worth the marital disharmony?t

Be positive Christmas  is over and you are still in trouble, but tomorrow is another day and you will have done something else wrong then.
