Nice one!!

Significant birthday this year so have started priming her indoors already with see you next week/month (life's too short...gotta get to Bikini Atoll.....)

Like the congratulations idea a lot.............still think outright bribery is probably the way forwards in the longer term.

Does Phill really do that with invoices?

I just think that is wrong, I'm afraid. If you have to hide how much something is costing from the person you are supposed to share your life with, then that pretty much tells you that either you sholdn't have bought the toys, or you shouldn't be pretending to share a life.

Lou takes full advantage of not being able to get redded....

Personally I just have a straight deal with anyone I get together with. There are two rules for things to work out. The first is don't interfere with diving. The second is very similar to the first. Of course that includes purchases for diving.

What you want is adiving girlfriend/boyfriend, then you get to hodl back their purse strings too!

I think sending out an invoice for the wrong amount is illegal. Not sure which part of the law would prevent it, but there's all sorts of tax implications surely? Eiuther that or if you came to get your money back for whatever reason (not that you'd need an invoice with Phil) he could realistically refund the dodgy invoice amount. All £25 of it.

I also graduated from a light cannon to a 21w salvo & there is not even a slight comparison between them.It's that good that my buddy has just got one after seeing mine in the water he didn't do the same with the light cannon.

Said in a light hearted manner by Digger, but if the absence of this 'rep' does lead to people posting their honest opinion without the worry of ending up with a public shelf full of red blobs next to their name [Oh, the shame] I reckon it's a good thing.

If comments are seriously out of order, I am sure the admin guys will step in as neccessary.

By the way, doesn't more shiny light just mean more dazzling reflection from the cr*p in our native waters fresh and briny??--------I sure hope not :-)

That's fair enough - if your money is your money, then fine and dandy. but if you are in a situation where you share, and where you might need to show an invoice, for example, then lying is lying is lying. and that is "a bad thing".

Hmmm. Doesn't seem to work like that. What i find happens is I have to save/beg/grovel for ages to get something, perhaps as a birthday or Chrissy pressie. Then as I have one C gets one for herself too. Except oftne better. How does that work?

[Digger]

Ah, now that comes down to who is wearing the trousers. you just need to convince C she wants something you want. Simple. Then you both get one.

I just spend it and when it's gone it's gone. But then that's the delight of having virtually no financial commitments

........any illusion that men have the upper hand in any relationship with the fairer sex is exactly that.

I am still getting the torch though.

If you thought the torch saga was bad, you should have heard the howls when I bought a 36" telly BUT there was method in my madness......next port of call was a wall-mounted plasma 'cos they are much more neat.....so there is always room for compromise and occasionally men play a better long game that women.
