Tubby Hubby (TH) has two hobbies – photography and ancestry tracing – which he spends inordinate amounts of time and money on. Last time I went home to Malaysia for a weekend, he binge-bought $200 worth of scanned wills that may or may not have been his ancestors'.
"Why can't you find a useful hobby?" I ask. "Something that we can retire on?"
He does some stock photography (www.istockphoto.com/namussi) but makes barely enough to cover the cost of a filter.
"A hobby isn't supposed to be useful," he retorts.
But he has the last laugh. I am taking up oil painting and the flat is filling up with lots of expensive canvases, covered in even-more-expensive paints, that are obviously going nowhere.
Anyone wants to buy an original Ong-Wood just so TH can stop looking so superior?

Yep, count me in . Anything, and i do mean ANYTHING to stop TH being so bleedin' smug. He's always been a bit that way inclined all the time I've known him!
It all stems from the moment he was awarded a Nakamichi Gold Owners Card. Smug G*t
Hey Ivy, can you post some pix of your paintings and perhaps we could start a bidding war.
IvyBay....hmm now that gives me an idea!
