You guys are begging for a "How much is my Seagull worth" onslaught. :lol:

Not as much as a Spitfire, by a long chalk.

But when it comes to the value of nice playthings how about TVOC's Vulcan bomber - six million pounds so far; with a return to flight imminent. Yes it's been imminent for ages but it really can't be far off.

That Vulcan is the example I use to the current primary woman about how cheap my Seagull hobby actually is...

Time for a little sharing of knowledge on polyamory. The concept of having many partners. Interesting a concept derived from pre christian beliefs ie Celtic etc. One has a primary partner and many secondaries. In an ideal situation all partners have knowledge of each other but in reality usually the primary is the only one that has full knowledge of all the secondaries. The poly system can work with either a male (pater) driven group which is more common in this day and age or with a matriarchal leader (think Bodicea). It should be noted that the head of the group is neither a primary or secondary but is the undisputed leader (and provider etc). This system works in many cultures including Arab and Asian (it is also very common in the animal kingdom).

It is not so different as having a favourite Seagull (primary) and many secondary motors. (fortunately Seagulls don't squabble nor have mother in laws or should that be out laws).

A search on polyamorous on google will shed more enlightenment.

Cheers Hugo.

Thankfully, unlike polygamy in the western US, you'd never see a respectacle seagull shacking up with a younger, barely legal outboard. It's simply too classy.
