My missus has a penchant for all things Radley, not uber expensive,but what's the use of having collector additions wrapped in cotton bags in cupboards. It's not like having a GS under cover in storage. Is it??

Keep buying her Radley bags and call it an investment, the moment she gets into Gucci, Mulberry and the like then it's all down hill for your wallet.

Aren’t we all? I can’t believe anyone is actually into gas bills or council tax.

That said, I am thinking of swapping from Riva to Hacker. They may be American not Italian, but they are particularly lovely. (For the non-boaty on here, Google “Hacker Boats”.)


One of them will do the job lovely. Although won't be much use in our village pond.

Isn't the skill here a matter of working on the ratio? Quid pro quo, or something like that...........

For example:
£1000 for new clothes / handbag (I wish!) : some new gym equipment for me
A new kitten for her: A new set of Strad wheels for me
A Range Rover Sport for her: A Maserati for me
A spa weekend with her mum: Week trip to Le Mans for me

The list goes on and on, and the ratio varies widely!

I actually own more pairs of jeans than Mrs C. I *suspect* I own more pairs of shoes as well :D

They're not for walking in, they're for sliding down poles in.

Buy her a pole and a pair of trainers. Sorted!
You’re way off the mark.
Sexy, but classy, with taste I would suggest .....poles ain’t our scene and i’m A little surprised by that comment of yours?
I think you’re out of order F.C.

I'm pretty sure FC wasn't trying to suggest anything about you in particular, just playing on the size of those heels.
Without wanting to start a massive debate, the main function of those heels clearly isn't walking. They are made for looking at, or to be seen in, and whilst I'd imagine there aren't many Louboutin wearing pole users out there, they are pretty extreme, and my mind made a similar association based on the height.

That said, it's not really my area of expertise, there is about as much chance of getting them on me as on my wife!

As for the topic in general... I can't add much, mine is great. She has green lighted a Cooper S to replace my written-off Alfa (which I'm sure she'll steal the keys to regularly!) she is happy to let me keep my Lotus and the 'family use fun car' Maserati in the garage, and, prior to selling it when we had a kid, spent many hours chasing said Elise around Highland roads in her VX220 ;)

I'm not so sure - have you ever been to Southend? :smile:
Standard Friday night accoutrements:
1 x neon green boob tube
1 x pair white "stripper heels".

That's it, nothing else, apparently, so I've been told.
Why am I wasting time posting this ..... taxi !!!

I’d just like to urge some caution on what you say on this thread. This is what I saw this morning....

they don't do normal stuff like gas bills or council tax

A colleague of mine was at a swanky opening party for a project he had completed, a well dressed lady of a certain age asked him: 'and what do you do?'
Him: 'I'm the architect'.
Her: 'Oh how charming, it must be lovely to have something to do'.
