ha ha ha!
Fab pictures one and all! Jim, you're just trying to make us jealous............ and it's working! Nice Iceberg!
Oh wise mystic one, great holiday snaps! I hope you weren't wearing socks with your sandals!
I am very impressed to see "the shed" from the outside, I usually only get the view from the inside of the kitchen  |

The new place is a palace:

I thought this was the old shed?
(see what I mean? from the kitchen I have no idea what the place looks like from the outside!)
I'll run up some curtains for Shed #2 when I get a moment, cushion covers too?

I agree - that one's still got the special "protective" covering on it in case of any more little "accidents"

Erm... I don't mean to crush everyones feelings, but that's not a shed I see before me. Via Wikipedia -- The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) defines sheds as a "slight structure
built for shelter or storage, or for use as a workshop, either a
separate building or attached to a permanent building as a lean-to;
often with open front or sides." So erm... what is it then? This "Shed" has comfy wicker chairs, a chaise longue (for Jim to nod off on, after a long day), poofs. a bar and two en suite bathrooms! so it's not a workshop or a storage facility at all! I smell a conspiracy!

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

Well I can also smell Jim's voluminous gases... and that's before I even step through the front door! And why does a shed have two doors and an additional lean-to for the smokers? This isn't a shed at all, is it?

^ no not the cushions, you can have as many of them as you need, the antimacassar - you don't need one of them.
/edit ooo - antimacassar - that'll send non-grey roomers off into the land of google - next week's word is aglet.

So how did the Auster Aiglet get it's name then, Dean? I don't think it has anything to do with shoelaces, that's for sure. And yes, I did have to look up Aglet. But I didn't have to look up Auster Aiglet. The next word is an easy one: Perambulator

oh lets all see how we can out do each other with words........... next some bright spark will come up with "Brasierre" and all the old fools of the grey room will lay around helplessly riddled with mirth, as if they were 13 once more (or indeed in the VR)
How OLD do we have to be before we all revert back to the mindset of the VR? When do we truly regress into idiotic self absorbed carefree youth?
(please say soon!)

No jealousy at all, we love living out of boxes and having to use Izal Medicated 2-ply.  We never wash, so we don't need en suite facilities.
