Well it was the same here too, but she's found her own forum now so she can't say too much!

Just too easy to spend time on forums, what with smartphones etc.

I would say that most on here would Shiite themselves if the wife went through their posts. I know I've said one or two things that would induce a swift kick to the nuts from SWMBO!

Of course there's always the possibility they're already here....and have never posted. :detective: :disguise: :hmmm:

Not that I'm suggesting some of them are devious of course O:-)

After some nearly 20 years of modding cars etc and forums my better half is now I the opinion I'm a lost cause so has given up on saying anything.

The introduction of my iPhone and now iPad have seen quite an increase of activity on my behalf though which still does get on her nerves from time to time.

I have a good get out clause in that SWMBO is quite often using the dreaded 'book of faces' app on her iPhone or on the laptop, so I get to use the iPad for 'that bloody forum' or other car related stuff and she daren't moan (too much anyway) :)
