Aldi has walki talki's on sale for £14.99 and got her sister to buy us some so that she can contact me when in my piece of paradise. I wonder how long it'll before superglue gets in the workings.:thinks:

Terrible accidents could befall a delicate piece of technology like that in a man-cave - I hope SWMBO doesn't get too fond of it in the meantime!

That is against the man cave laws to have any form of contact with the outside world whilst in the divine workshop space sounds from the outside world could break your turning meditation and plunge you into eternal darkness

I've not dared venture into my personal retreat since the offensive items were purchased but I can already hear it. "Paul can you come here?"... "Paul have you got a minute"... "Paul I need you a second" ... and so it'll go on. Or I'll get tricked "breaker breaker, Mrs Turney to spinner... coffees on".

My hobby is over, I'm done. What can I do, Whoa is me.

Brothers... Help! I'm going down.

Wisdom from the wise indeed. Thank you all, it will be fed to the dog as soon as I possibly can. I love my dog but someone has to make the sacrifice.

My missus tried that one some time ago, I would come in on the first occasion bringing the W/T with me.
She soon got used to talking to herself when she answered it in her own kitchen.
Gave then to Grandchildren to play with.

Now then... does anyone know how much it is to go private to have a radio extracted from the tunnel of doom? Just enquiring before I take some of the given advice?

Easy peasy. Change your name by deed poll and you can legitimately ignore it. On second thoughts divorce can be very expensive or if you were subjected to an "accidental" axe to the head it could be construed as self induced and she'd get off with mitigating circumstance.

Forget it - take the batteries out.

I like it...:funny:

I have used radios in my shed for quite a number of years communicating with everyone around the world.. when SWIMBO asks why I dint reply to here "breaker Breaker" calls,, Ooooops, sorry I was on the wrong channel...

It certainly makes shed time interesting.. but to get around it SWIMBO put in a bloody telephone with "intercom" on it. soon lost that in the shavings..:nooidea:

They try, try again and keep trying.. Bless them..
