Sand groper, crow eater - a bird is a bird. Will teach me to open my big mouth (fingers I guess, since I typed it) won't it. At least you guys knew it was a joke.
By the way, hear you on the wife bit! My club had a display at last weeks "Qld Hobby and Model Expo". I dropped off some models for the display on the Friday night and intended to buy a bit before official opening whilst I was there.
Try as I might, I couldn't get the wife to stay home; she just had to tag along. After a quick look around she asked "You don't spend that much on those things do you? Divorce is very expensive with 3 kids, so I had to say "no, of course not!" Missed out on a lot that I wanted!! Ah well, maybe next year.
Love to see the pics posted in due course.
