I'm pretty lucky I think. My missus was the one who wanted to buy a pinball machine. I was just into the arcade stuff but she wanted to buy Getaway and I wasn't going to complain.
Now she just wants me to shut up about them and talk about something else for a change. But what else is there to talk about?
So basically it's all her fault really 
I reckon she plays the machines more than I do, but only because I'm fixing and restoring them most of the time.
I've been told that we can't buy another machine until we get a Lord of the Rings. Once again, I ain't complaining.
She does try to reign me in a bit but she says so long as I pay for the machines with my own money (LotR excluded) and we have the room, I can have as many as I want.

She reads the forum sometimes too so.....       "Hello Claire"
