Welcome to AP Steve, great to have you here.

I originally read your post while eating my lunch today (and nearly choked on my salad)

Usually I just let the hard core regulars post the welcomes but that was a great intro post.

Who are you calling hard core????

You and a few others, no shame in it. I'm a self confessed lurker.

I enjoy the fun too much to lurk - and there is always something interesting going on.

G'Day Steve, a big 

Mate in my experience if the missus isn't complaining about pinballs then it will be something else. The very fact that we are male makes us guilty from birth.

If you add up what the average female spends a year on makeup, hair/ beauty appointments, new shoes,clothes, $15 bottles of shampoo, handbags etc, compared to us blokes then I'm sure it would be in the Thousands, so going by that I reckon  buying 1 pin a year( which will hold value pretty much in case you need to sell it) will still fall short of the amount they spend.

Not to mention the pure fun and entertainment value in keeping the kids amused and not hassling her

All good points Chris - duly noted

they call pins a waste of money luxury

but try keeping your balls if you say the same about shoes, shampoo, or make-up

Ive found a fool proof way to deal with the wife issue...... Dont have one. Problem solved !!

:)

[ricindahunting]

The wife got angry?!?!?!?! I don't get it. I thought angry was a permanent state that they are always in. It's when they get happy that notes a mention. Got to go, I think I can hear the hooves and smell the fire and brimstone coming up the hallway.

Catch ya,
