Kill Bug - Matt Gemmell

OK, OK; I admit it. I saw Kill Bill vol.2 at the cinema. 
I watched vol.1 at home on DVD. I bought a katana.

A <a href="http://mattgemmell.com/images/chen_katana.jpg">Paul Chen Practical Katana</a>, 
for those who are interested. Carbon steel, RC60 blade. 
Anyway, Fiona is very much against swords, so I was somewhat hesitant to let her know 
that one was on the way. I was talking about this with the guys on IRC earlier.

Gary: Matt: how did Fi react to the buying of a sword?

Matt: she doesn't know yet g

Matt: was saying to neil earlier,

Matt: I said to her that I "might start a collection"

Matt: she says "I'd think very carefully about that."

Gary: hehe

Gary: I can see amusing times ahead

Matt: so I ask why, and she says "because it will cause serious problems between you and me"

Matt: so I've got a few days to talk her round to the idea of swords

Matt: before a big fucking katana arrives.

Neil: perhaps she collects swords too

Gary: dude, you really are a tit at times, but in an amusing way

Neil: and she'd have to fight you to the death if you started your own collection

Neil: haha

Gary: Matt: you don't happen to have a shed you could hide it in?

Matt: the way I see it,

Matt: it's an interest of mine (now), and she should respect that

Matt: besides, another important point is this: when the sword arrives, and she gets annoyed,

Matt: I WILL HAVE A SWORD.

Gary: lmao. Exactly.

Neil: It's statistically safer than Cross Stitching.

Update: I've since told her, and whilst she was indeed furious, she's calmed down a bit now.

Gary: burgers and jaffa cakes secured?

Matt: indeedy

Matt: burgers are being made right now

Matt: also told her about the sword

Gary: and the jaffa cakes?

Gary: how did she take it?

Matt: yes I got the god damn jaffa cakes! One of those new-fangled tubes.

Matt: she said she was furious, but seems not too bad

Matt: did say that if I ever swung it in her presence, she'd leave me.

Gary: a tube of jaffa cakes? What kinda of craziness is that? They should come in a box or, if of the mini- variety, a bag

Matt: looks cool anyway

Gary: dude, if she tries to leave you, just swing it closer.
