I allways fancied a quadcopter but between 7 to 11 minutes flight time against 2hr charge time put me off it..luckily for me carol actually asked me what I fancied ..learned he lesson last year.. when she got me a concert ticket to a well known Glasgow comedian.. that never went down well when I said I didn't like him..got me mixed up wae somebody who laughs..lol.. Mmmmm.. let me see im into astronomy was that not a big hint darlin.. So quadcopter got bombed out and said can I get a fish tank... result.. getting a tank to keep marine fish..just getting a nano tank to dip myfeet in.. kept tropical for years but this is a different kettle of fish lol.. so for once I get something I fancy. May sound a bit iffy but us guys know weneed to get there pres spot on or we get grieff for a full year. Carol done ok..minah bird..photography studio kit and my canon 400d. so im safe this year

I never get Astro gear for birthdays or Christmas. I see my hobby as something I prefer to buy bits for, not ask others for. Birthdays and Christmas are for new undies and socks LOL! BUT!!!!!! this Christmas my dear wife asked me what I would like for Christmas, and when I said I would really like a decent Microphone so I can sound clearer on my Astronomy Broadcasts she said "OK, which one?" I picked out a really good quality Studio Mike and it is USB!!!!! So that's what I'll be getting . . . and probably socks and undies too

I work very hard to listen to my Wife and what she wants; I check her Amazon list and from year to year I feel like I'm able to come up with what she's wanting and she seems genuinely pleased.
I also keep Amazon lists, but what I end up getting seems to be last minute ideas or cheap versions of what I ask for. So I just keep my trap shut and go buy what I want myself later. Honestly, it would be better for her to just not put anything under the tree for me.
