The Shed

Man Erg wrote: Right that does it. Top trumps lawnmowers.Here's the one that I just purchased Bosch Rotak 34GC Rotary mower 'The Bosch Rotak 34GC with the innovative Grass Combs that allow you to cut right up to the edges of your walls and paths for a neater finish. So no more need to get the strimmer out!' • Bosch Rotak 34 GC wheeled electric rotary lawnmower • Powerful High-speed Bosch Power drive motor 1400w electric motor • Can cut grass up to 30cm long, so it’s ideal for the first cut of the season • 34cm cutting width • 10 cutting heights 20mm to 70mm with single central adjusting lever • Metal blade for a superior finish • Large 40 litre grass box • Lightweight for easy manoeuvrability • Two large carry handles

Hah!

Coincidentally, had to purchase a mower ourselved this weekend:



Flymo Roller compact 3400

34cm cut, 1500 watt motor (trumped, Lee - trumped! ), admittedly only a 29 litre grass box, but it does have a "vision window" so you can watch the grass being collected instead of where you're pushing a 34cm rotating metal blade - also folds really small, so takes up vitually no space in the shed.

On a different subject (before Lee starts getting all Freudian about relative grass box sizes), saw two of our friends on Saturday, both of whose sons (who we've known since they were about 8/10) have either moved recently, or are about to move... to places with gardens... and sheds.

The next generation is in preparation

Who needs Google when www.flymo.co.uk does the trick?

Anyhow, to misquote Dad's Army's Private Frazer: we're all Broooooooooooooooned... aye!

What is going on with the economy and the Labour Party?  Everyone has gone mad!

just keep talking lawnmowers Jim, you won't see the kids for days

Well, if we're playing Lawnmower Top Trumps:

Fangirlism, get it right.

Harrumph!

I'm a Van der Graaf Generator fanboy.
Melissia is a Magma fangirl.

There's a huge difference there!

I do like Magma a lot but I currently prefer Koenjihyakkei.

Anyhow, is that a lawnmower coming your way, Dean?

And secondly, that's a cute child, not cute children.  I only see one child, not a multitude of them.   I think you need some new spectacles. It is too early and too late in the day for me as well... I need sleep yet I need to go out at 1 p.m.

Haha, I am only teasing with the precociously awful grammar.

You only see one child...?  Not an exponentially expanding brood of zeuhlspawn...?   You are obviously not much of a visionary.  Get thee to Specsavers!

Well, we can't have this.  Magma-drool in the Shed - I shall be persona non grata ere long.  So... back to the regularly scheduled lawnmower talk.

I can hear a lawnmower from here and it's likely one of those grandiose, flamboyant sit-upon affairs (gotta keep that cricket pitch tidy over the winter...).  Perhaps it is a Shed dweller on his or her way to deliver a swift reprimand to Yours Truly.

YES - THEY ACTUALLY RACE THESE THINGS!
