Whats The Best Excuse You've Used

[Sibelius]

Not if you bought the tank and the equipment as the present, plus a stock list (that you've written yourself.) Then say that those presents have already been paid for and you'll pick them up when your tank has been cycled! It'd be rude of your other half to protest about the choice of fish!

buy him a crate of lager and a bottle of whiskey, get him to drink them and then get him to sign a contract saying you can have a new tank(you might wanna put some other stuff in the contract too e.g. breakfast in bed)

With 18 some odd tanks running ATM I have this one down. Too many tanks, with a couple more sitting around empty you say? It's a midlife crisis thing, your right, I should get rid of most of them. Get a Harley instead, or a nice '69 Camaro.

Then I start rambling on about the small block Chevy, all the guys at work with their drag strip cars, dropping 10g's on engine work, and so forth.

They are all glad I have all the tanks, because they know I will do it.

That is genius, Make the tank seem like a better option. "Oh the bedroom needs a different look. maybe if you strip all the walls and re-paint and new carpet, or a little 15G tank, whichever" lol

that would work lovely if it wasn't for the fact he's already doing the whole house up spent this weekend putting in a new ring of electrics upstairs, we now have 16 sockets in the bedroom....... none working in the kitchen though

he he he he

unfortunately Ian would immediatley know something was up if i plied him with booze and didn't have any myself, and if i had some i'd be a giggling mess by the time he's had half a can and therefore in no position to negotiate

mmm, i just burned my tongue. i need a tank to cool it off and treat it

pmsl!!!!

i'm actually gonna try that!!!

I think by now Ian ought to be so touched by your loyalty, honesty and refusal to listen to our devious suggestions, that he should be looking round for some little token of his appreciation. Like a new tank, maybe?
