I am guessing this is a test ad but it made me giggle all the same.

Found while looking for ANOTHER eyepiece:

U.K. Astronomy Buy & Sell

Fair play to him.

Lol....poor wifey

[starnut]

Getting rid of the wife to get a telescope, not too sure if that is any good considering how many clear nights we get and how many times the wife gets a headache.

I prefer single you can do as you please.

[richbyers]

if you think thats bad try some of swapz.com - theres alot of errr.. less than polite people on that site, it being mainly a car swapping site (which is pretty useless)

you get some very disgusting posts about swapping ones wife

Shame on you! Is that what you get up when the skies are cloudy? Tsk tsk!

[richbyers]

haha - but keep it quiet!-dont want everyone getting onboard

[pajr777]

He should keep the wife and get a telescope.

Even a full on astrophotography setup has got to be cheaper than a divorce

Following this up, look at advert 54332 as well on Astro Buy & Sell.

That reminds me of a very old joke which I've adapted from flying to astronomy, that goes like this:

WANTED - GOOD WOMAN

Must be able to cook, clean, sew and collimate. Must own observatory and 12" 'scope.

Please send photo of obsy + scope.

[Peter Drew]

Can't think of a scope I'd swap my wife for!

[Katen]

lol we're here already!! (ever watchfull) And don't think for a moment that a number of female partners wouldn't do a similar swap using their menfolk;) (or 14 year olds)!

You cannot swap a 14 year old for anything, you have to part with money to get rid of them.

[Russe]

Bless him...

[Quatermass]

Poor old Mr Chuff

[DazC]

Now that is a funny ad. LMAO!

If I was traded away for a telescope then the person swapping the scope would get a good deal as I come with a free Sky-Watcher!

[Lynxi]

Oh my! I wonder if any of the 1000+ people viewing the add have put in any offers. Personally I think I's rather have my fiancé, who else would bring me coffee and food when I'm out observing but him?

[chownsie]

HEHE!!!!! Love it!

[Redbird48oo]

humm, wife and 2 dogs and a cat.....nope I like to sleep at night, lol

[Nibor]

Swap my wife - never!! 10.00pm - on observing nights - on the dot she brings me out a hot steaming mug of drinking chocolate - sometimes with a drop of rum in it!!

Love her!!

[sanmatt]

wait till the female members of the forum get here........

I would swap my man for a goto, new EPs, a UHC etc but he does pay for this hobby mostly...I can't afford to get rid of him, I'd have to sell me scope!

[Quatermass]

lol I would sell my dog and chickens for an heq5 they all poo too much for my liking
