What a night that was! Just warming up for my sixtieth tomorrow. In the dog-house today. I think you should all talk about something useful like allotments and sheds.
My mate's got an allotment. His shed blew away in the storm the other night, he's gutted. I sincerely hope your shed( I'm assuming you have a shed) was alright as I know the pain and anguish he's going through. He knows he should have taken precautions to anchor it down, he had enough warning. He feels a right tit, and so he should. He lacked basic allotment savvy and has paid the price. One more thing; if he thinks I'm helping him erect a new one he can get ****ed.
Will I balls help him. It's own daft fault for not taking remedial safety measures in the first place, he can get himself to Newstar and pay for them to put it up. It's the only way he'll learn.
I've no sympathy for your friend Carmine. My shed is important to me. The poly tunnels ****ed though.
In times of financial strife I sold my ultra, ultra rare home and away 1979 adidas City shirts (to a poster on this board nonetheless, I cant recall who) to pay for a new shed. Such is the importance I place on having a shed. In my eyes it's part of the right of passage from boy to man. I'm now moving house and not taking said shed with me and Im ****ing gutted I sold them. The buyer is a collector and admitted he had only ever seen 1 other of them anywhere in the world before. They're really amazing shirts, I wonder if he'll sell 'em back?
Look, I'm sure he know's he fooked up. Building a shed is the ultimate in male bonding. You can also assert your alpha status over him while doing it, and can ensure he does it properly this time. If he doesn't already, he will know for sure afterwards who the daddy is. Paying someone else to put it up doesn't teach him owt other than he can't even put a shed up properly and lets the shed erector be the alpha. I'm not sure how I feel about Kempton's poly tunnels though. Seems a schoolboy error to have left them out, and part of me is wondering what European Metrosexual veg he's growing in them. Real English stuff doesn't need a poly tunnel. I'd welcome your view on this CG.
What? That's crazy talk! You have the perfect chance to have a NEW shed, one that is an upgrade on the previous one, and one in which you can put all those lessons learnt from the first one into. There is no down side to this.
I do miss those shirts though. Have you seen them? They're that good that Steve Beaton would wear them. He paid £700 for em, if he's reading this I'll buy them back for a grand (as I haven't named the buyer Im sure he doesn't mind the sharing of financial specifics).
Muchly agree, Signor G. Sympathy for him (somewhat) but when I got my second-hand shed, the very first thing I did after re-erecting it, was to drive in angle-iron stakes and bolt it to them.......
Look here. I have never grown a single thing in all my born days and my shed has been turned into a big Wendy House for my daughter. My old boy converted it just before he passed away so she holds it very dear. In short I 'm not a shed enthusiast. I'm a hunter gatherer/ forager. My garage is in rag order and I 'm **** at DIY. I honestly couldn't think of anything worse than putting up a shed. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
