Shaun Walsh Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 The SWIMBO question every aeromodeler dreads. "Just how many models do you have". Closely followed by. "How much did that cost?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnar Borseth Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 15 years ago I worked in a hobby shop. A guy came in with his wife looking to buy a rc car for himself. He found a monster truck he liked. His wife looked at the price tag and asked if it was realy necessary to spend so much money on a toy car. Being a salesman I tried to help, so I asked the wife how much it cost the last time she was at the hairdresser. She looked at me and said , « I think its time for you to shut up now». True story. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryW Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 My SWIMBO Question I seem to get on a regular basis is...... Every time I strike up the slightest conversation starting with the word ... " Honey "........ Then in less that a split second she says " What have you bought now...?? " 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 What does the I in SWIMBO come from? It’s something I’ve noticed in many references recently. I always assumed it related to the classic Rumpole of the Bailey expression, “She Who Must Be Obeyed”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryW Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 The one that got me into so much trouble once was.... Wife: " Do you have to go flying with your mate ALL Weekend !...? " Me: " Do I really have to sit her telling you those jeans make ur butt look fat...?? " I lost count of the number of bruises I ended up with......🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Walby Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 On acquiring a new airplane my late wife would ask if I had any that I had not flow for 2 or 3 years then consider a 1 for 1 replacement process? Post crashing a favorite Black Horse model and not being able to find the discontinued version in the UK, she managed to source one from somewhere in Europe as a birthday present. On the flip side when she said she was going to buy a horse then clearly my answer was yes, but only one! PS When she built a Peter Miller Ohman the logical place was the kitchen table...result as that set the precedent 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 I think SWIMBO comes from the fact that you can't pronounce SWMBO.....So, you can't grumble to the guys about SWMBO, well you could, but you'd sound a bit daft. SWIMBO solves all that, and its a very picturesque word ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
