Rob, I am thoroughly impressed with your forum posting skills, be proud, be darned proud, it's the ability to be confused by these things is what keeps the Shed alive!

when i was on the stage many years ago  (yawwwwn.....Sleepy) .... they told us if you got stuck with lines, whatever happens carry on...... we spent many workshops improvising ad libs, and sometimes, like 1st nights,  they came in very handy!  Wink  sometimes myself or other actorrrs used to come out with the most ridiculous nonsense , but because we were doing avant-garde plays nobody in the audience even noticed ! LOL  (except the tw*ts who would bring along a copy of the bl**dy script Ermm

Like the goons who come to a gig with a lyric book!

BTW, I was just on the phone to our manufacturer and their "hold-music" was Bobby Mc Ferrin "Don't worry, be happy" ........... cool hold music, it made me laugh rather than snarl, so it did it's job!   (They used to have "always look on the Brightside" fab! )

Quite possibly, and you should be profoundly thankful for it.

Excellent. Even managed to do a bit of editing in Photobucket.
 
Now to explain this picture.
 
As this is the shed I thought you might like to see my garden tools that I use. My particular favourite fork is the small green border fork. It's not quite as macho as the other one so it doesn't do my back in and I can motor along with it for ages. I have no particular favourite spade as each does a different job. The one on the left is great at moving earth. The smaller one next to it is good for getting into triky spaces and the one on the right is great for cutting through awkward roots etc.
 
I also thought you might want to be amazed at my new found (with a lot of help, of course) computing skills.
 
Cheers

Nice one Rob. It seems almost churlish of me to mention that I can't see the photo anyway as Photobucket is banned at work.

^^ good start Rob, but where is the pile of old porn magazines, 70's vinyl pop L.P's  and old paint tins?
 essential additions for any Shedder  Wink
 
 
and don't forget the home made beer in plastic barrel and mouldy cheese ....

I hadn't realised that I needed all that stuff. I'll add them to my Xmas pressie list. Will 70's pop cassettes be OK? I have a particularly fine 2 cassette Glam Rock volume. Mott the Hoople anyone?
 
I'm in the early stages of getting a shed. 'ap'n I'll go for a potting shed with low window sills so that I can look out on my veg patch in the comfort of a scruffy armchair. I'm toying with getting a pot-bellied stove to keep my little plantlings warm in the spring to give them a good start. I don't know about paint tins though. More like a fridge for other types of tins (and bottles). Smile

Aha - that finally explains the size of Heavyfreight's shed (and the reason he has 2 of them)

Although paint tins are an optional extra, if you do invest in old, battered & dried up tins of emulsion, you also need the special knackered old stick behind them... this is your 'special' stick - the only possible implement you can use to stir paint

Nice looking shovel there on the left Rob!   I do like a decent shovel!    The second left spade looks like our camping spade, nice and sharp to remove a neat square of turf for that all important fire!

I cut a cross section through one once and gave it to a dendronologist for dating. Apparently it went all the way back to my second house's dining room. LOL
