I actually DID it!!!
Tracy sent me to the local camping store, to pick up the swag she selected on Thursday night, and I went and collected it, a swag, and.... NOTHING ELSE!!!
Oh yeah, there were the new Coleman LED torches, of which one would have not been out of place in my arsenal of torches.... 15 I think was the last count...
Then there was that new pocket knife-come-weapon of mass destruction, which would have been just waaay cool to have.
But no. Wolfie was strong.
I came
home with her swag, and when she asked where it was, I told her it was in the back of the Honda. When she went down stairs to get it, she asked... "Okay, so like where's all the other stuff Ian?"
"Didn't happen love."
"Do you want me to call an
ambulance Ian?"
So, there you go fellas, it CAN be done.
Cheers
Wolfie

Wolfie ,
What were your feelings as you walked amongst the latest camping chairs without testing them for comfort ? Was that a tic as you marched straight past the rack of Columbia shirts and new wet weather gear ? Did you flinch as you noticed the new water containers , but kept walking straight on ? Were you teary eyed as you paid for the swag and held back from discussing the latest LED head light on display ? Did you nearly swoon when you walked straight past the the map and book stand near the counter , with the NEW Australian 4WD Atlas on display ? Did you swear when at the exit you saw the
sign saying " Do not miss our new Stainless Steel Tent Pegs " ?
Maybe you are in need of post trauma counselling Wolfie . Either counselling , or your wife should take you back to the
shop immediately , so that you can come to terms this very traumatic event .
Maybe when your wife sees how badly this event has affected you , she might be a little more understanding in the future . She must understand , it is a problem which affects one in three males in the Australian
population . It is a problem we all face and have to come to terms with - it won't just go away . The sooner politicians recognise the problem and legislate to relieve this disastrous threat to male campers , the sooner the pressure will be off our mental health system .
Thud - there's the Herald - I wonder how many branches I lost of my Grevillea this morning .
Willie .

Wolfie ,
That's a tempting offer and I thank you very much for the compliment BUT my marriage was made in
heaven . Let me give you an idea of your competition:
- My wife works and I yet am retired and go camping and fishing .
- While I'm away she tapes Super 12 and NFL football for me .
- She likes going to watch my local club The Woods play
home games of ra ra .
- She loves going to the cricket and knows more about it than I do .
- She is a great
cook .
- She can see the stupid side of things and does not take herself OR ME too seriously .
- Her job gets her two overseas trips a year , and she lets me come along and carry her bags if I behave myself and don't drop off and start snoring and farting at her work social functions .
If she has a problem it might be that she is not intelligent enough to see the funny side of my jokes . Weird aye ?
Cheers ,
Willie .

Willie,
Don't tell them when your next trip away is or every man and his dog will be on your doorstep as she sounds like one in a million.
Cheers Trevor :-)))

I have a solution for you Willie and Wolfie.
You can marry wolfie and that will leave willies wife to marry me.
Do you think she would be interested in an obese bald headed old bloke with few social graces, doesn't watch Super 12's or NRL but I do like the cricket.
P.S. I have available 1 slightly used Hand brake available. Fits all models
LOL
P.P.S. If she reads this she will probably be available sooner.

Trevor and Les ,
I showed the Boss your posts and fellas , I don't need to tell you , she was bloody impressed .
Des , no worries about not watching NFL or ra ra - she doesn't either . Trevor , you could be in trouble if you bring your dog . One groaning , farting , lardarse ridgeback is enough .
Hell of a decision ...........

The guys at ExplorOz have'nt made it public,Wolfie,but they have incorporated a Lie Detector in the software,derived in part from the fishermens "Whopper Stopper" (the electronic one,not the hunk of wood with the two thumb holes)..Do you want to run that shopping story past us again....?..When will you accidently locate those little knik-knax you may have "stashed" away so they can trickle out of captivity to once again,experience the lite of day,while,at the same time,being the foundation for a multitude of "must have" stories,associated with these new (
well,the were) outdoor essentials and the swag?..Suggest you stash a bottle of Rid in the swag..I always keep one in
mine.Why do mozzies have to make that dreadful noise..Flys don't!..Enjoy (No doubt,somone will wish you sweet dreams..In your new swag)! RockyOne!MPG:7!

RockyOne ,
You will have to do something about those pictures . I wanted to
check them out , but there is not enough pixels left to do the job .
Buy an Ultimate Swag , and you will not need the Rid anymore .

Wolfie, Wolfie, Wolfie........
Just what am I going to do???
Here am I using you as a role model to explain to SWMBO that this is how the real 4by owner operates, and you let the whole team down........shame, shame, shame.
I will just put it down to a temporary lapse of concentration on your behalf.
You sir, are the 'Jones's' that we, the common folk, look to and try to keep up with.
I have lost count of the useless amount of stuff I have purchased, just to keep the name, '
shop-ala-Wolfie', going. Sad times Wolfie...............
Regards
Michael B (SA)
