The Shed

 

First visit to The Shed - didn't even know it existed

 

I'm well up for any meeting that involves beer. I live in Coltishall just outside Norwich.

 

Wells is a great place, especially in the summer - I know it really well.

 

If any one of you guys wants to fix something up count me in - jeez if we've never met each other before it'll be like standing under the clock at Waterloo Station with a copy of The Times

 

I dunno how this thread works, but either post on here or pm me with any suggestions.

 

Look forward to it!

 

Especially as I know it will be far better written and no doubt roll on the floor funny!!!

 

The Shed works like a typical Garden Shed - somewhere to bolt to when there's work to be done "indoors", somewhere to moan about the change of Marathon to Snickers and other such nonsense that preys heavily on our minds, to drink beer and munch on biscuits while praising the efficiency of your favourite paint-stirring stick...

 

The Shedders (or Greys as we use to be known) are predominantly of the older generation, but all are welcome as long as they don't put their feet on the sofa or sit in Jim's chair.

Despite our differences I must thank you for your earlier recommendations. I rate Mandragora Scream pretty highly. Following your recommendations I bought their first two albums. A Whisper of Dew is the slightly better one IMO though I have to say that on the first play I had memories of Tangerine Dream's - Tyger. The albums are very atmospheric and definitely not what I was expecting - one of those rare moments of getting hold of a gem. Once you get over the accented English (sounds a bit like Diarmuid Gavin) the music is really good. For some unknown reason I can't get hold of a copy of Madhouse without going through some complicated registration procedure on their website which I am not keen to go through.

 

I tried the pontefract cakes with ice cream but unfortunately the liquid returned to a solid state on hitting the ice cream. Still, the rest of the packet were delicious. 

 

Thanks again.

 

 

I have to admit, it does keep the dandelions at bay for a couple of months
