I'm only two years away from official membership now... just two years younger than Miss M. and a lot less beautiful.

It appears someone has put in planning permission to turn the Shed (btw, great name, Jim..  ..how about 'The Pottering Shed?') into a children's nursery, and a few Greys have recently qualified as Registered Childminders....
..and is that hob-nob matted into the carpet, or Farley's Rusk???

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

...and James, please stop 'hitting' on our newest member in public; you'll give a number of Greys palpitations... 
we'd be most grateful if you could declare your undying love by PM...

I can see Miss M. in a Baker Boy hat actually... but sans beard.

Me thinks Registered Victorian Chimney Sweeps would be a better use of time and resources.

I'm not "hitting" on anyone, Jared.  I'm just speaking the truth that I am not as beautiful as Melissa.  Besides, I have my eyes on someone else.

Too intelligent?
Hahaha. If I was that intelligent, I'd be somewhere else entirely.

We do occasionally tolerate those of a youthful aspect here, after all, you're older than James (aka Google Boy ) & being of the female persuasion, Vicky and Rachel would certainly welcome you*; the main question is do you have (or have access to) a shed? If so, how many dead cans of paint does it contain & most importantly, do you have a special stick with which to stir your paint?
Well now. We used to have a shed, but it rotted. Does that count? All our dead paint is now in the garage (along with parts of a dead moped, assorted spiders, 1970s curtains, etc. etc.)
As for the stick... well, I have a man for that sort of thing. 
*After all, it would mean they have someone to help with the cleaning & washing up +++hides+++
If you'd seen my kitchen, you wouldn't ask me to help with that...  |
This is bizarre. This page seems to have been displayed on a larger scale than normal (truly!). Is that because you people can't remember where you put yer reading glasses??!! 
|
It's just the large print version especially for us hard of seeing GR members.
Personally I still favour The Shed as the new name, but we'll have to open another one in 4000 posts time and, taking James' posting rate into account, that's in about 2 weeks time.

Vicky! The protection of cruelty? You want to encourage those who would be cruel to sheds?
I can't claim the credit for suggesting "The Shed" - that was Natural Science (and he's American  ), but I wholeheartedly believe we need some kind of re-naming to make it absolutely clear this is NOT the Suede Room & those who'd treat it as such can bugger off!

yes, we'll have finally got around to deciding by post 3975, then have to start all over again....

Well Jim should have hidden it better... that's really an embarrassment, especially with the girls' recent coffee morning!
