Okay: pics added to photobucket!
Now, how to post a photo here?
How do I post the pic itself (& not just the link)?

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

I know what you mean - I'm allergic to violence, myself - I tend to break out in cuts & bruises

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.
|
Aiglet is an alternative spelling of aglet and means the same thing. My theory is someone at Auster was asked to come-up with a name that began with "A" and hadn't been used before - he reached the "Ai" section of the dictionary before stopping.
However, what's this got to do with the price of lawnmowers?

Revert? That implies we grew up in the first place

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!

there is a new air-conditioning and voluminous gas recycling system installed

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.
