        Paraphrase of the actual conversation prior to my XHS purchase. It is in part true, if I stay within what I outlined, which won't happen 😉

              Let's put it this way back in March. I had Urb purchase a pair of skis for me and ship them to my office. I had the ski manufacturer "ON3P" make sure their was nothing on receipts or in the computer about me and that the skis were a gift from Shane. When I brought them home. I told my wife that Shane shot for ON3P at SIA and in addition to his pay they give him these skis, which in turn he gifted to me.

              We are talking dark seeded shit here.

                      D6, that's extremely creative. I don't even think I'm worthy of rookie in that sense.

                        Just been pointed in this direction by Iron Heart's Enabler-in-chief ( @Giles ) and have to admit to having used pretty much everything listed here; from weedling, to pleading, to half-truthes, to outright lies and deployment of the Dark Arts.

                        I was a keen fan of keeping things on the DL and then slipping them into rotation with a "but I've had this for ages" if they got noticed. It had a 75% success rate last year but my considerably better half has learned that trick and I get away with it far less often now.

                        In fact the queen of my heart has now bookmarked ihuk.co.uk and a currency converter, so if something new pops in the wardrobe, she'll look it up and comes at me equipped with cold hard facts to back up her outrage. In other words, I'm fekked.

                        I've considered telling her that the published prices are only what the noobs pay and that all regular customers have a permanent hefty discount. On the one hand the scale of that lie horrifies me. On the other hand, I'm probably going to hell already anyway…

                            I vaguely considered making a "better-half" version of the website at one time.  Slightly different URL that could be given to "those that matter" with prices at about half of what the real items cost…

                                    Yup… done that too. New shirt for me = out to town for a nice dinner.

                                    I've also made a serious effort to groom her/radicalize her into the IH fold with all manner of arguments (environmental/ethical/style/quality etc.) The fact of the matter is, she'd look boss in IH gear and we'd become co-dependant. Win-win, if you ask me....

                                    But she's not having any of it  ::)

                                      I might have to brush up my Dreamweaver skills and knock that up myself… I'm currently suffering under no-trade embargo for the foreseeable future....
