Just stop it, everybody, I can't stand it. I hate this thread.

I know what you mean, It does come across a tad "Under the thumb, of the Battleaxe Indoors" sitcom script circa 1962.
Just take it as a satirical pastiche on the oeuvre, then it's not nearly so annoying

No, I mean stop trying to weaken my resolve. You can show me all the downhill, fixie, TT, Dahon folders you like. The only thing that might tempt me away from the Cult of the Flying Deckchair is a classic steel racer-tourer. All those hipsters riding their Dutch bikes around Islington! They do not KNOW!

Oh do me a favour, for Christ sake. Do we have to get every remark approved by a self appointed committee now to make sure we're not guilty of some hideous "Ism" of one sort or another?

Let's explain it in a way you may understand without getting on your high horse. A relationship is a financial partnership as much as anything else, and if one partner blew twelve hundred and odd quid to fuel an unnecessary indulgence the other would probably hit the roof. I used the term "She" because the other half of this partnership does indeed happen to be a she.
Does that pass the purity test?

Ooops, sorry, didn't mean to induce quite such a sense of humour failure there.
It was, but a throwaway bit of amusement.. An observational joke even??
Apologies for any offence caused.
And yes, having been in a relationship both financial, and otherwise with a significant other for (crikey over 24 years - yes I know - poor them
)I do kinda get that blowing that sort of commonly held dosh on a personal indulgence might not go down too well.
Separate Bank accounts, income streams, and individual spending money (once joint responsibilities are taken care of equitably) seems to avoid these conflicts.
Apologies again.
As you were, bike sounds great...
If only huh??

My apologies to you Mudsticks, I obviously misread your sense of humour and hope you weren't offended by my reply.Ooops, sorry, didn't mean to induce quite such a sense of humour failure there.
