Gryppo, by whipped, I assume you mean that I am "under the thumb", in that I do everything my wife tells me. If you mean "whipped" in the more colloquial sense, then yes, but I have a special club for that which I go to on Saturday mornings.

Yes, I am under the thumb, but view it more as a necessary evil to protect our bank balances rather than any surrendering of free will to "she who must be obeyed".

I get out a lot though, normally when she is off riding fell beasts and terrorising hobbits
