Oh dear. I've just realised that i keep my stack of /porn/ under my
bed.

At the moment i've got a machine mart catalog, a Vehicle wiring
products catalog, a towsure one and some big catalogs full of garages
and sheds....

With what I've got, I need no more tools, or sheds :O

You say you don't need andy more sheds - and you call us sad and
twisted. You can NEVER have enough sheds, especially whilst there are
'women'.

What use is a shed to a woman? If Karen gets a shed and uses it to
escape from her indoors, she'll defeat the whole purpose of the thing
the moment she steps inside.

But, but,but, no its to easy to make jokes about women involving the phrase
"half a mind".
Vicky was egging me on to buy that electric hoist from Netto but we don't
need one that often and just in case I looked up HSS they hire a 2 ton
folder for £25 for a day plus I have the old manual hoist in bits I should
play some more with that and get it finished.Vicky still gets more machinery
and tool catalogues than me- explains why garage is standing room only.

I never thought I'd admit it, but I DO have enough sheds - my property is
crawling with them - I have my forge, the carpentary shed, the mower shed,
the pool shed, the implement shed, the potting shed, plus a few where I keep
the odd vehicle or two. And a couple of storage sheds too. God forbid what
I'll ever do if I have to move out of this place, might even have to get rid
of some of my late beloved's stuff to make more space one day!

One of the advantages of this country is that properties just outside the
city, like mine, do have plenty of scope for shed multiplication.

I believe that should we ever meet, I'll have to hurt you.

Do you not have a shed shed to store all the bits of shed?

Shed. What a silly word for such a useful thing. Like cake.

Same thing here - it's just a pity that work keeps me city bound where
the scope for sheds is somewhat limited. On the bright side, my rural
property seems to have started breeding sheds successfully at last.
