No, never heard of it.

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

Hmmm...

Anyway, this is neither the time nor the place for such discussions, this is a light hearted thread about the wonders of being 'a certain age'(sorry if that impinges on your freedom of speech).

Back on thread, anyone remember the Jubbly?

I'm just avoiding posting alot anymore. Apparently, it is okay for some to express their viewpoints, but not others.

I do have a photo of my larger shed currently on my phone.

I got a new phone recently and was trying out the camera "honest".

The shed was the first thing that I saw when I looked out of the window.

Oh yes! This is more like it! Talking about sheds and gardening...

This truly is a place for those "of a certain age"...

I'm inspired, I tells ya - I shall go out tomorrow and take a photograph of my shed!

yeah, had a really good succession of fruit with all the sunshine this summer - and the rain has helped the last few weeks too. YUM YUM! better than Tesco's!

On the subject of sheds......

here is my beloved shed - a genuine 1960's model built by my dad. I call it "The Tardis", every piece of junk that is ejected from the house finds its way here before being dumped eventually, and there's still room for a snooze in there on a Sunday afternoon!

ps there's a splat of bird poo on the door.

ps note tomato patch on the right, very productive this year!

last time i cleared it out i found Lord Longford and Shergar hiding in there...wonder where they are now?

I like your shed, It looks like a great place to catch a snooze. Your garden must be a great place to enjoy a spot of tea. Smile

Looks like you are quite the green thumb with the tomato's there.

Do you have a photo of it, Jim??

How about a game of shed trumps?

You're only suggesting that, 'cos you know you've got the biggest one.

Mind you - your biggest one is bigger than my single one, yet my single one is bigger than your smallest one...

...so does that make us equal?

i showed you mine - so you should show me yours!

Ah, but the thing about Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson was that he didn't actually have 2 sheds, he was only thinking about getting a second one!

in case anyone should ask..... unlike Arthur, i am not considering getting another shed - so until then i just wish to be known as "one shed mystic fred" , if i do consider getting another one, i shall be known as "one shed considering getting another shed mystic fred". if i decide to get rid of my shed i shall be called "considering getting rid of one shed mystic fred" - hope that clarifies the situation!

Surely if you decide to get rid of your shed, then you wouldn't be considering to get rid of your shed (as the considering must surely come before the deciding) and therefore you'd be called "decided to get rid of my shed mystic fred"? or mystic "no sheds" fred?

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't started this now.

I decided to keep my shed, so i will be "one shed which i had considered getting rid of but decided to keep the shed mystic fred"

Here's something to show changing attitudes. Remember when hard rock was considered to be part of the fringe? I was just watching a baseball playoff game, and they played a Black Sabbath riff to lead out to a commercial. [IMG]smileys/smiley36.gif" align=middle>

that's great - do you know what song it was from?

Oh man, I can't remember now. It might have been "Children of the Grave."
