Sounds idyllic Iain - if only you lived in SE England, I could selflessly offer my services in helping you out with those beers, mate.

P.s. The bayonet isn't usually out of its box, I'm having a sort out![/QUOTE]


Ry, how is the bayonet sticking out of the curtain at that angle. Is your corner of the room not subject to the Laws of Gravity.

Are you sure Mrs. Charlie 585 isn't behind the curtain.

Regards

Hi Brian,

I see what you mean, that curtain tie back could be confused with something more sinister!
The Bayonet (in the other picture) is now safely out of harms way in case Mrs C decides to put me out of my misery by testing its capabilities.

Regards

im quite lucky really , i have all my shell cases lined up in the hall, 2 bookcases,my medal cabinet and 2 boxes of my own service stuff under the bed. i have an argie helmet that i got in port stanley and various other argie artifacts, i have my own bedroom with the computer in it and really any millitary prints photos and paintings up on the walls so life is not to bad. i just wish i could clear out her rubbish cds, cross stitch and dvds to give me some moore room!!!!

Iain,

Thanks for the offer mate.

I completely sympathise with your unfortunate position. I imagine that each time a pig's ear passes your lips, it must be like the Torments of the Damned for you.

You are definitely in need of some back up.

Hi and welcome to the forum, i think all collectors develope a knack of hiding
new additions to there collections from were their wives, one because of cost involved and two they just see it as more clutter!
